Cable Repair & Replacement in Los Angeles
Cables work with your springs to raise and lower the door. A frayed or off-drum cable can make the door hang crooked or trap it shut.
What a Failing Cable Looks Like
Lift cables take on enormous load every time your door moves. When they fray, snap, or slip off the drum, the door can jam, sag to one side, or become unsafe to operate. We replace cables in pairs and re-set the drums for smooth, even travel.
Cables and springs work as a system, so a cable that fails often points to a worn spring or an unbalanced door. We inspect the whole counterbalance system rather than just the broken cable, so you do not end up calling us back for a related failure a week later.
Warning signs worth acting on: a door that hangs crooked, a loose or dangling cable, or frayed wire near the bottom roller bracket. On properties near the water, corrosion happens inside the cable strands where you cannot see it, so a cable that looks acceptable can still be compromised. If you see any of those signs, stop using the door and call.
