Frayed cables replaced before they let go — across Miami, Aventura, North Miami Beach, Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton.
Lifting cables do quiet, violent work — braided steel carrying the door's full weight around the drums thousands of times a year. On this coast they fail from the inside: humid, salt-tinged air wicks into the braid, corrosion starts at the core, and the first visible fray means the cable is already past its safe life. When one parts, the door lurches crooked and starts bending expensive things.
We replace cables in matched pairs sized to the door, inspect drums for grooving and bottom brackets for rust — anchors corrode as fast as cables here — and re-tension the system until the door tracks dead straight in its opening.
East of US-1 the salt tax is real — cables, springs, and bottom brackets rust years ahead of the calendar, and heavy impact doors load their cables harder to begin with. Beach-strip homes get stainless or heavy-galvanized marine stock from us as the default, and every cable call includes the anchor points, because a new cable on a rusted bracket is half a repair.
Spring tension locked off and the door clamped before any cable comes loose.
Both cables together, correct length and grade — never one side only.
Bottom brackets, drums, and end bearings checked while tension is off.
Even tension side to side, plumb travel, full cycles to prove it.
