Frayed cables replaced before they let go — across Evans, Martinez, Grovetown, Augusta, North Augusta, Aiken, Hephzibah.
Lifting cables carry the door's full weight through every cycle, wound tight on their drums. In Georgia humidity they fail from the inside: moisture wicks into the braid, corrosion starts at the core, and by the time a fray shows at the bottom bracket the cable is on borrowed time. When one parts, the door lurches crooked, jams in its tracks, and starts bending expensive things.
We replace cables in matched pairs sized to the door, inspect drums for grooving and bottom brackets for rust, and re-tension the system until the door tracks dead straight. It's a quick call when it's planned — and a much bigger one when the cable chooses the moment.
Cable corrosion here is an inside job — the braid's core rusts before the surface admits anything, fed by humid summers and damp garage slabs. Bottom brackets collect sprinkler water and red-clay splash and quietly rot at their anchors. Every cable call includes the anchor points, because a new cable on a rusted bracket is half a repair.
Spring tension locked off and the door clamped before any cable comes loose.
Both cables together, correct length and grade — never one side only.
Bottom brackets, drums, and end bearings checked while tension is off.
Even tension side to side, plumb travel, full cycles to prove it.
