A cable slipped off its drum gets diagnosed for the underlying cause, not just re-seated.
Cable diameter and length get matched to your specific drum configuration.
Every job includes a post-repair tension and balance check.
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 — replacement cable gets sized to match your spring tension exactly.
A cable that's already snapped usually means the door dropped or hangs crooked — we stabilize it before beginning repair.
A cable that's slipped off its drum causes uneven hanging — we re-seat it and correct the underlying cause.
