Snapped, frayed & off-drum lift cables — across Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, Mayport & San Pablo.
Lift cables do the heavy work alongside your springs — and when a cable frays or snaps, the door goes crooked, jams, or drops on one side. Like spring work, cable repair happens under dangerous tension and should never be a DIY fix. We replace frayed and snapped cables and re-spool the drums correctly across the Jacksonville Beaches, usually the same day.
Cables are thin braided steel, which makes them especially vulnerable to salt-air rust. On oceanfront and Intracoastal homes we routinely find cables corroding from the inside out, even when they look fine on the surface. We install galvanized aircraft-grade cables and inspect the drums and bottom brackets — the corrosion hot spots — so the new cable lasts.
We secure the door and safely manage spring tension before touching a cable.
Cables are replaced as a pair with galvanized, properly-rated steel.
We seat the cables on the drums evenly and check the bottom brackets for rust.
We re-level the door, confirm even travel, and lubricate the system.
