What this service covers
Lift cables translate spring tension into door movement. When one slips off its drum or stretches, the door hangs crooked, binds in the tracks and puts uneven load on every other part. Correcting cable tension early prevents a much larger repair later.
- Frayed, kinked or rusted cables replaced with correctly rated stock
- Drums re-seated and tension equalized on both sides
- Level travel verified through several full cycles
- Cable drum bearings and end bearing plates inspected while open

Cable Adjustment Service questions
- What causes a cable to come off?
- Usually a door that closed onto an obstruction, an unbalanced spring set, or worn drums that let the cable slack under load.
- Is a frayed cable urgent?
- Yes. A snapped cable under tension drops the door on one side and can damage panels and tracks.
