5 Star Garage Door Service's Olivet, MI technicians replace worn cables before they fail, and re-seat drums that have slipped out of alignment.
5 Star Garage Door Service trains Olivet, MI technicians on this exact service line so you're not the one teaching them on the job.
This specialization is why Olivet, MI customers call us back for the same issue instead of shopping around each time.
Uneven cable wear on one side often points to a misaligned track we'll also flag.
Cable diameter and length get matched to your specific drum configuration.
Every job includes a post-repair tension and balance check.
Cables are common stock on our trucks, so most jobs finish in one visit.
Even a few loose strands mean a cable is close to failing under load — we inspect both cables even when only one shows visible wear.
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 — we re-seat it and correct the underlying cause.
Extension spring systems should run safety cables to prevent whip-back — it's a quick, affordable safety upgrade.
The bracket anchoring the cable to the door corrodes over time — we repair or replace it as part of cable service.
Call +1-866-597-3069 and give dispatch your Olivet, MI address and symptoms.
Most calls see a technician on-site within the hour, dispatch load permitting.
You approve the price before any work begins.

Not always, but we inspect both since matched wear is common.
If you notice either, call +1-866-597-3069 before the cable fails completely.
Yes — a snapped cable under spring tension can cause the door to drop suddenly.
