What this covers

Cable and Drum Repair done right

Most issues can be repaired the same day. Here is what falls under cables and drums.

Broken lift cables

Lift cables work with the springs to raise and lower the door under heavy tension. A snapped cable drops one side, jams the door, and is unsafe to run. Boost Garage Doors installs new cables and rebalances the door the same day.

Frayed garage door lift cable with broken strands.

Frayed or worn cables

Cables fray strand by strand long before they snap, usually from rust or a rubbing pulley. Catching a worn cable early prevents a sudden failure and a crooked door. The crew replaces frayed cables and fixes whatever wore them.

New pulley sheave installed on a garage door extension spring system.

Pulley replacement

Pulleys guide the cables on extension spring systems and must spin freely under load. A seized or cracked pulley shreds cables and throws the door off balance. Technicians fit new pulleys so the cables track cleanly.

Grooved cable drum mounted on a garage door torsion shaft.

Cable drum replacement

Cable drums sit at each end of the torsion shaft and wind the cables as the door lifts. Grooved or cracked drums let the cable slip and the door hang uneven. Boost Garage Doors replaces drums in matched pairs so both sides lift level.
