Frayed or snapped garage door cable? Stop using the door immediately — a broken cable causes the door to drop. Both cables are replaced with galvanized stainless wire. Serving Greater Jackson MS.
Garage door cables — the lift wires on your overhead door — connect the bottom of the door to the spring system. When a cable snaps or frays, the door becomes dangerous — one side goes slack, the door can jam at an angle, or the whole door can drop suddenly. If you see a cable lying loose on the ground or hear a snapping sound, stop using the door and call immediately.
Like springs, cables in Jackson MS are exposed to 70–80% average humidity throughout summer, which accelerates metal fatigue and corrosion. All cables are replaced with galvanized stainless wire — the same corrosion-resistant upgrade we recommend for springs. We always replace both cables at the same time, even if only one has failed.

When one cable snaps, the other is at the same wear point. Both cable drums and cables are replaced together — it's the correct repair, not an upsell. Doors are properly realigned and tensioned after installation.
The door is tested through 10 full open/close cycles, verify balance, check safety sensors, and perform sensor repair if any fault is detected. Warranty options are available — call (601) 891-9416 for details.
