5 Star Garage Door Service's Alexandria, MN technicians replace worn cables before they fail, and re-seat drums that have slipped out of alignment.
5 Star Garage Door Service trains Alexandria, MN technicians on this exact service line so you're not the one teaching them on the job.
This specialization is why Alexandria, MN 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 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 — older doors often lack them entirely.
The bracket anchoring the cable to the door corrodes over time — this is a less obvious but equally important part of the system.
Call +1-866-597-3069 and give dispatch your Alexandria, MN address and symptoms.
A stocked Alexandria, MN truck heads your way, usually with a same-day arrival window.
You approve the price before any work begins.

"""Second cable was close to going too. Glad they checked both instead of just the one that snapped."""
"""Noticed a few frayed strands and called before it got worse. Tech said it was close to snapping."""
"""Cable snapped and the door dropped crooked. They stabilized it fast and had it fixed same day."""
"""Didn't know safety cables were even a thing until they pointed out mine were missing."""
"""Quick, professional, explained exactly what was worn and why."""
Not always, but we inspect both since matched wear is common.
A door suddenly hanging crooked is another common indicator.
We treat snapped cable calls with the same urgency as a broken spring.
Call +1-866-597-3069 rather than attempting this one yourself.
