5 Star Garage Door Service trains Viroqua, WI technicians on this exact service line so you're not the one teaching them on the job.
Every Viroqua, WI technician on this service line carries documentation you can ask to see, and we expect the question.
We check both cables and both drums together, since wear rarely happens in isolation.
Cable diameter and length get matched to your specific drum configuration.
Improper cable work while springs are loaded is a real injury risk.
A visibly fraying cable is treated as a near-term emergency.
Even a few loose strands mean a cable is close to failing under load — replacement cable gets sized to match your spring tension exactly.
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 — we add these where missing.
The bracket anchoring the cable to the door corrodes over time — rust and corrosion at the anchor get addressed before they cause sudden release.

Don't attempt to operate the door manually until it's inspected.
