Our Diagnostic & Service Process
Every service follows rigorous mechanical protocols to guarantee optimal balance and long-term safety.
1
Emergency Door Securing
We clamp both sides of the vertical tracks to prevent catastrophic drop during cable detachment.
2
Torsion Spring Lock-Out
Spring tension is stabilized to safely access drums and shaft bearings.
3
Cable Removal & Bottom Bracket Inspection
Frayed cables are removed; bottom pins and corner brackets are inspected for metal fatigue.
4
Dual Cable Tension Equalization
Both cables are locked into drum set screws and tensioned simultaneously so the door sits dead-level on the sill.

Common Questions
Garage Door Cable Repair FAQs
Cables deteriorate from friction against drums, moisture corrosion (especially near coastal areas), or sudden shock loads caused by broken springs or misaligned tracks.
Do not attempt to open or close the door. Operating a door with an unspooled cable will wedge the door panels diagonally into the tracks, bending steel sections and causing expensive damage.
Yes. Just like torsion springs, cables experience identical fatigue and stretch. Replacing both ensures level lifting and uniform drum winding.
