What we typically cover during this service. We adapt to what your door actually needs.
Both lift cables are inspected for fraying, kinks, and rust. Any cable showing damage is replaced.
Cables that came off the drum are properly respooled and tensioned. The drums are checked for damage.
Cables are replaced in pairs so both sides have the same age and wear pattern.
After cable replacement, the door is balance tested manually to confirm the lift system is working correctly.

Quick answers about this service in Mississauga and the GTA.
Common signs are visible fraying, a door that hangs crooked, a cable that came off the drum, or a snapping sound when the door tried to open.
Cables age at the same rate. Replacing only one leaves an older cable on the other side that is likely to fail soon and creates uneven tension.
Cables typically last 8 to 15 years depending on humidity, salt exposure, and cycle count. Cables exposed to moisture or coastal conditions wear faster.
No. Frayed cables can snap without warning, which can damage the door, opener, and surrounding hardware. It's also a safety concern. Call as soon as you spot fraying.
Often yes. A crooked door is usually caused by a broken or off drum cable. Once the cable is replaced and retensioned, the door sits level again.
