Safety: cables are connected to the spring system, which is under high tension. Do not try to re-seat a cable or lift a crooked door yourself. Stop using the door and call a technician.
Garage Door Cable Service
The lift cables work with the springs to raise and lower the door evenly. When a cable frays, snaps, or jumps off the drum, the door drops on one side, hangs crooked, or jams in the tracks. We inspect both cables and the hardware they depend on, then repair or replace what is needed.
Common cable problems
- Broken garage door cable
- Frayed, rusted, or damaged cable
- Loose or slack cable
- Cable has come off the drum
- Uneven cable tension between the two sides
- Door hanging crooked or one side lower than the other
- Door stuck partway open or closed
- Uneven or jerky door movement
Cable service may include
- Inspection of both lift cables and the cable drums
- Cable replacement when a cable is broken, frayed, or damaged
- Cable adjustment and re-seating on the drums
- Checking the spring tension that the cables depend on
- Door balance check after the cables are set
- Inspection of bottom brackets and related hardware
- Final operation testing by hand and with the opener
Garage Door Roller Service
Rollers carry the door along the tracks every time it opens and closes. When they wear out, the door gets loud, moves in jerks, vibrates, or binds in the track. Replacing worn rollers and tuning the tracks and hinges brings back smooth, quiet operation.
Common roller problems
- Noisy garage door during opening or closing
- Grinding or squeaking from the tracks
- Jerky or shaky movement
- Door not moving smoothly or catching in the track
- Worn, cracked, or flattened rollers
- Rollers binding or popping out of the track
- Excessive vibration while the door runs
- Visible wear on the roller wheels or stems
Roller service may include
- Inspection of every roller and its stem
- Roller replacement with the correct size and type
- Track inspection for bends, debris, and alignment
- Hinge inspection and tightening
- Alignment check so the rollers run true in the track
- Lubrication of moving parts where appropriate
- Door movement test through the full travel
- Final operation check with the opener

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my garage door hanging crooked?
A crooked door usually means one lift cable has broken, come off its drum, or lost tension, so one side of the door is no longer being lifted evenly. Stop using the door and call us; continuing to run it can bend the tracks or damage the panels and opener.
What causes a garage door cable to come off the drum?
Cables often come off when a spring breaks, when the door hits an obstruction on the way down, when a cable has stretched or frayed, or when the drums or tracks are out of alignment. We find the cause rather than only re-seating the cable, so the problem does not come straight back.
Can I fix a garage door cable myself?
We do not recommend it. The cables are connected to the spring system, which is under high tension, and the door is very heavy. Cable repair should be done by a trained technician with the door safely secured.
Why is my garage door so noisy?
Worn or damaged rollers are one of the most common causes of a loud, grinding, or squeaking garage door, along with loose hinges, dry moving parts, and tracks that are out of alignment. Replacing worn rollers and tuning the hardware usually makes a noticeable difference.
How do I know if my garage door rollers need replacing?
Look for rollers that are cracked, flattened, wobbly on their stems, or that squeal and grind in the track. Jerky movement and vibration while the door runs are also typical signs. We inspect every roller during the visit and tell you which ones should be replaced.
Do you replace all the rollers or only the worn ones?
It depends on their condition and age. Rollers generally wear at a similar rate, so replacing the full set is often the sensible option, but we inspect them and recommend what makes sense for your door rather than applying one rule to every job.
How much does cable or roller service cost?
The price depends on what needs replacing, the type of door, and the condition of the related hardware, so we do not list a fixed price. We inspect the door and confirm the complete price with you before any work begins. Estimates are free.
