We'd rather send one truck that's actually equipped for garage door cable repair than three that aren't, even if it means a slightly longer wait on a rare occasion.
A cable slipped off its drum gets diagnosed for the underlying cause, not just re-seated.
We use cables rated to your door's actual weight and spring tension.
Cables work under spring tension — we release tension safely before replacement.
Cables are common stock on our trucks, so most jobs finish in one visit.
Even a few loose strands mean a cable is close to failing under load — we inspect both cables even when only one shows visible wear.
A cable that's already snapped usually means the door dropped or hangs crooked — we never operate a door on a snapped cable.
A cable that's slipped off its drum causes uneven hanging — worn or cracked drums get replaced rather than reused.
Extension spring systems should run safety cables to prevent whip-back — older doors often lack them entirely.
The bracket anchoring the cable to the door corrodes over time — we repair or replace it as part of cable service.

"""Second cable was close to going too. Glad they checked both instead of just the one that snapped."""
"""Noticed a few frayed strands and called before it got worse. Tech said it was close to snapping."""
"""Cable snapped and the door dropped crooked. They stabilized it fast and had it fixed same day."""
"""Didn't know safety cables were even a thing until they pointed out mine were missing."""
"""Quick, professional, explained exactly what was worn and why."""
Not always, but we inspect both since matched wear is common.
A door suddenly hanging crooked is another common indicator.
Yes — a snapped cable under spring tension can cause the door to drop suddenly.
We don't recommend it — cables work under spring tension requiring proper tools.
Many older doors were installed without them — we can add them as a standalone upgrade.
Visible fraying at any point means replacement, regardless of age.
