A snapped or off-drum cable can leave your door crooked, stuck, or hanging — and it is under high tension. Our Durham technicians replace and retension cables safely the same day.
Springs and cables are under extreme tension and a door off its track can fall. Leave the door where it is, keep people and vehicles clear, and call a trained technician — we will handle it safely.
Serving Durham and the Triangle with honest, upfront service and a workmanship warranty on every job.

Correctly-rated cables stocked on the truck.
Cables carry the full weight of the door on a spring-assisted lift — here's what typically causes them to fray or snap.
Cables stretch and fray gradually over thousands of cycles, the same way any load-bearing steel cable does.
Durham's humid summers can cause rust to form on the strands, which weakens the cable well before it visibly frays.
A cable tracking incorrectly on the drum wears unevenly and can jump the groove, leading to a sudden snap.
If a spring or cable was replaced without matching the correct tension, the new cable can wear out far faster than expected.
A simple, no-surprise process — often completed the same day you call.

No. A door with a broken cable is unbalanced and can drop or bind. Do not operate it — call a technician.
We recommend it — both share the same wear, so replacing the pair keeps the door balanced.
Often yes — a broken spring frequently causes a failed cable, so we inspect both for a lasting repair.
