Cable & Roller Repair
Frayed cables and worn rollers make a door loud, crooked and dangerous. Small parts, big difference.
Cables and rollers are the quiet workhorses of the door — and the most neglected. A fraying lift cable is a failure waiting for the worst moment: when it snaps, the door can drop or rack violently in the tracks. Worn rollers turn a smooth door into a rattling, jerking one and chew up tracks and hinges on the way. We replace cables in matched pairs, upgrade worn steel rollers to sealed nylon rollers that run dramatically quieter, and true-up the whole travel path so the door glides the way it did when it was new.

Cable & Roller Repair Questions
Can I replace a cable myself?
Cables work under the full tension of the spring system. A mistake releases that energy suddenly, which is why cable work belongs with spring work on the do-not-DIY list. It is a quick, inexpensive job for a technician with the right tools.
Why is my door suddenly so loud?
Nine times out of ten it is rollers. Original steel rollers wear flat spots and loose bearings; sealed nylon rollers are the single biggest noise reduction you can buy for a door, short of a new opener.
How long does cable and roller service take?
Usually under an hour on site. It is one of the highest-value maintenance visits there is — it prevents the crooked-door and dropped-door failures that turn into emergencies.
