Signs it's broken: Door won't lift properly even with manual effort, sags noticeably on one side, or you hear sudden snapping sounds—cables fray or snap from rust corrosion, overload, age-related fatigue, or improper tension.
Why not DIY: Cables hold extreme tension (hundreds of pounds) and are under constant stress; mishandling during replacement can result in whiplash injuries, door crashes, or total system failure requiring more extensive repairs.
Why call Next Level Solutions: We use high-cycle, durable steel cables for replacements, test overall door balance, and provide emergency repairs 24/7 in to minimize downtime.
Approximate price: $100–$300 (per cable, includes professional installation, tension adjustment, safety inspection, and door alignment; quote after on-site evaluation).
