Overview
garage door cable repair
A cable that jumps its drum leaves the door hanging skew and puts the whole assembly under uneven load. Do not force it. We release tension safely, replace both cables and reset the drums so the door tracks straight again.

FAQ
Cable Repair questions
Is it safe to use the door with one broken cable?
No. Operating a door on a single cable can bind the door in the tracks or drop it. Use the manual release and book a repair.
