5 Star Garage Door Service trains Erwin, NC technicians on this exact service line so you're not the one teaching them on the job.
This specialization is why Erwin, NC customers call us back for the same issue instead of shopping around each time.
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 — we replace it before that happens.
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.
Extension spring systems should run safety cables to prevent whip-back — we add these where missing.
The bracket anchoring the cable to the door corrodes over time — we repair or replace it as part of cable service.

A door suddenly hanging crooked is another common indicator.
