5 Star Garage Door Service trains South Sumter, SC 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.
A cable slipped off its drum gets diagnosed for the underlying cause, not just re-seated.
We use cables rated to your door's actual weight and spring tension.
Improper cable work while springs are loaded is a real injury risk.
Catching fraying before it snaps is far safer than an emergency call after.
Even a few loose strands mean a cable is close to failing under load — replacement cable gets sized to match your spring tension exactly.
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 — we re-seat it and correct the underlying cause.
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.

A door suddenly hanging crooked is another common indicator.
Don't attempt to operate the door manually until it's inspected.
