5 Star Garage Door Service's Pleasant Grove, AL technicians replace worn cables before they fail, and re-seat drums that have slipped out of alignment.
5 Star Garage Door Service trains Pleasant Grove, AL technicians on this exact service line so you're not the one teaching them on the job.
We'd rather send one truck that's actually equipped for garage door cable repair than three that aren't, even if it means a slightly longer wait on a rare occasion.
We check both cables and both drums together, since wear rarely happens in isolation.
We use cables rated to your door's actual weight and spring tension.
Every job includes a post-repair tension and balance check.
A visibly fraying cable is treated as a near-term emergency.
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 never operate a door on a snapped cable.
A cable that's slipped off its drum causes uneven hanging — worn or cracked drums get replaced rather than reused.
Extension spring systems should run safety cables to prevent whip-back — it's a quick, affordable safety upgrade.
The bracket anchoring the cable to the door corrodes over time — we repair or replace it as part of cable service.

Not always, but we inspect both since matched wear is common.
If you notice either, call +1-866-597-3069 before the cable fails completely.
Don't attempt to operate the door manually until it's inspected.
We don't recommend it — cables work under spring tension requiring proper tools.
