About Cable & Drum Service in San Diego
Garage door cables work alongside springs to support the door's weight and guide it along the tracks. A broken or frayed cable will cause the door to hang unevenly, slam shut, or become completely inoperable. This is a repair that should never be delayed — a snapped cable under tension can cause serious injury.
