5 Star Garage Door Service's Hickory, NC technicians replace worn cables before they fail, and re-seat drums that have slipped out of alignment.
We built our Garage Door Cable Repair service around Hickory, NC customers who need a specialist, not a generalist working outside their depth.
This specialization is why Hickory, 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 — 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 — worn or cracked drums get replaced rather than reused.
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.
Reach a live dispatcher at +1-866-597-3069 and describe what's going on with your door.

Don't attempt to operate the door manually until it's inspected.
