Cables & tracks
Why Cables Snap
The two lift cables run from the bottom corners of the door to drums on the spring shaft. They fail at the bottom, where water, leaves and road salt sit against the bracket. Near Hempstead Harbor salt air speeds that up. We replace both cables together and check the brackets and drums.
Why Doors Leave the Track
A bump from the car, a cable that slipped off its drum, a broken spring, seized steel rollers, or track brackets that worked loose in older wood framing. We fix the door and the cause.

| Cables, pair | $195 |
| Cable drum, each | $75 |
| Bottom bracket | $59 |

All prices are starting prices for a standard residential door — the same price list as every One Stop Garage Door & Opener job. Heavier, wider or custom doors cost more, and you get the exact figure in writing first. The $39 service call is free with any repair. Nights, Sundays and holidays add $75.
Warning Signs
- Broken strands where the cable meets the bottom corner of the door.

How We Re-Set a Door
- Clamp the door so it cannot move; release spring tension if a cable is involved.
- Guide the rollers back into the track; straighten or replace bent track.
- Replace the cables, rollers or hinges that caused it.
- Re-balance and test the auto-reverse.
