Cable hanging loose

A cable can leave the drum or pulley after a spring problem, impact, obstruction, or hardware failure. Do not wrap it back onto the drum or cut a loose strand.

Door sits crooked

One low side can involve a cable, drum, spring, roller, track, or damaged section. Keep the opening clear because the door may shift without warning.

Fraying or corrosion

Broken wires, rust, kinks, and rubbing marks need inspection. Cable construction and length have to match the door and lift system.

The cable is part of a loaded system

Lift cables work with springs, drums or pulleys, and bottom fixtures. Tension can remain even when the door is not moving. Do not loosen bottom brackets, drums, set screws, pulleys, or springs.

Replacing a cable without finding why it slipped or failed can leave the same problem in place. The door position and spring condition are checked before any cable work begins.

Repair scope and estimate

The door position, cable system, number of affected parts, spring condition, track damage, access, and parts availability affect the work. The written estimate identifies the recommended repair before it starts.
