5 Star Garage Door Service's Rib Mountain, WI 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 Rib Mountain, WI customers who need a specialist, not a generalist working outside their depth.
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.
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 — we replace it before that happens.
A cable that's already snapped usually means the door dropped or hangs crooked — we stabilize it before beginning repair.
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.

Not always, but we inspect both since matched wear is common.
A door suddenly hanging crooked is another common indicator.
Yes — a snapped cable under spring tension can cause the door to drop suddenly.
