Garage Door Cable and Drum Repair in Northern California

TRUST THE LOCAL GARAGE DOOR EXPERTS AND DO IT THE RIGHT WAY

Your home’s garage doors are essential for security, convenience, and curb appeal. When critical mechanical components like cables and drums fail, the malfunctions disrupt your daily life and pose significant safety risks.

Right Way Garage Doors serves the entire East Bay region with expert garage door and drum repair services to maintain smooth and safe operation, keeping your family and property secure.

Our Garage Door Cable and Drum Repair Process

Garage door cables and drums work together to support a door’s weight and maintain balance while going up or down. Over time, ordinary wear and tear can lead to issues that call for cable repair, drum repair, or complete replacement.

Right Way Garage Doors follows a meticulous process to deliver exceptional results:

Inspection and diagnosis. We inspect cables, drums, and surrounding components for indications of damage or misalignment.
Safety precautions. Our technicians disconnect the door opener to prevent accidental movement during repairs.
Cable repair or replacement. We repair or replace damaged cables with durable, high-quality materials, and restore alignment and proper tension.
Garage drum repair or replacement. We look for cracks, warping, or other problems with the drum, and replace defective parts with manufacturer-approved replacements.
Testing and adjustments. After completing repairs, we test your garage doors for balance, alignment, and proper function and make any fine-tuning adjustments needed to optimize performance.

Not sure if you need garage door cable and drum repair? Here are some common warning signs you could use our professional assessment and recommendations:

Frayed or broken cables. If you can see damage to the cables, excessive wear and tear is already present and the door could become inoperable and hazardous at any time.
Uneven door movement. Misaligned or damaged cables or drums often cause a garage door to tilt to one side or operate in an uneven, jerky motion.
Slack or loose cables. Cables that appear loose or dangle from the system can no longer support the door’s weight effectively.
Noisy operation. Grinding, squeaking, or popping noises typically indicate an immediate need for drum repair or adjustments.
Stuck doors. Compromised cables or drums can cause your garage door to fail to open or close fully.

Call us to address these issues early to prevent further damage and ensure your garage door remains functional and safe.

Miguel and Andrew came to our house at 9:30 and were done by 5pm. The new doors look fantastic. They function well and are a lot quieter than our old doors. The whole garage door replacement process was very straightforward. We are very happy with the communications with Right Way and the installation. We are also glad to have Costco as the sponsor. We will enjoy the doors for the years to come.

Very happy customer! My garage door was broken and stuck half way down so the repair had to be done ASAP. Their technician made it over in about an hour and was very pleasant and down to earth. He had it fixed within 30 minutes. I would highly recommend this company!

Jason arrived right on time and did careful, thorough and expert work, demonstrating that he clearly knew what he was doing - replacing a 70 year old 2 car garage busted door. I watched and learned. Cannot recommend him enough.

One of the springs broke on the garage door. Great customer service fitting me in sooner than my appointment. Ben was very respectful and considerate of all the action going on at my house. He arrived, showed me all my options and completed the job quickly. Really appreciate the hard work. Thank you!

Our garage spring broke off last night, and I called RW right away since they replaced our motor back in 2020. They sent Ben Hughes to fix the garage door today. Ben was knowledgeable and recommended all necessary maintenance including replacing our worn out and torn rollers and brackets. He informed us that if we decide to update our garage door altogether that all parts and materials done will be deducted. He gave us estimates of all options for a new garage door. He was on time and timely in fixing our garage door, professional and friendly. Hopefully if we decide to get a new garage door, we would get Ben to replaced it.

Dustin arrived at 8:00 am on Monday morning ready to go. I appreciated that because so many companies insist on providing “windows” of time that they may arrive to perform their service and then frequently show up late and we’ll outside of that window. Dustin was quick, quiet and very efficient and the work he did installing our new garage doors was thoroughly professional. He covered all the things we would need to know about programming, operation and maintenance of the doors and my wife and I were very pleased with the installation, operation and especially the appearance of the finished product. I would definitely recommend Right Way Garage Doors when it’s time to replace your garage doors.

Matt was awesome! He was friendly, had great information, but never pressured me into service. He presented me with a range of service/repair options and talked through trade-offs. He also provided me with some DIY things I can do to extend the life of our garage door. I would highly recommend working with Matt.

Right Way Garage Door installer Devin was very helpful. He looked over my issues and gave me three options to repair my garage door. He did not pressure me into buying something that I didn't need but gave me great input into how to correctly repair my system. With-in 1.5 hrs he had my door working, old system removed, new system installed, all trash picked up and removed. Same day sales and installation was great.

Technician Taihpan Tarlesson installed a new garage door in about 4 hours and answered my questions about the new and lighter metal door that replaced my old wooden slat garage door. I was pleased with his service.

Matt was absolutely awesome! Super nice,polite,informative and super thorough. His customer service was amazing! There needs to be more Matt’s in this world. We only had the springs changed but Matt made us feel like we were getting a new door. I’m so impressed with company and the service. Even Corey that I talked to on the phone was Awesome. The professionalism displayed was very comforting. Thank you.

The customer service from Ben the service pro who came out and gave me a detail and honest estimate for two new updated garage openers with belt drive, motion detection, camera and Wifi was outstanding. Stacia from the office made it happen by sending out their technician Taihpan who fast, efficient and knowledge. He had everything done in 2 hours and set up was a breeze with the My Q app.

Joey from RW was called to fix a broken spring on one door and ended up fixing other door too for problem that had not been requested/reported. Joey was courteous, punctual, communicated clearly. We definitely would recommend Joey and RW's credibility and great service.

RW Garage Doors is excellent place to purchase your garage doors. Chris Swift in sales did an excellent job, was very knowledgeable, and gave us an outstandingly good price.Carlos Gonzalez supervised and performed the installation of the doors and the operators. He also was extremely knowledgeable, efficient, trustworthy and cleanly. He even swept the floor of our garage before he finished. I can highly recommend RW Garage Doors, Chris, and Carlos. It was a pleasure to do business with them.

Trent and Travis were so fabulous! They are kind, fun, caring and really good communicators. They also did such an awesome job of installing, letting me know my choices I didn’t know I’d need to make before things got done so I would have what I wanted, and cleaned up thoroughly. I asked them for business cards because I know my neighbors are going to want to copy what I did! My doors are stunning! People kept driving by to ask questions - they’re show stopping AND work So beautifully! Can’t say enough… (windows will be revealed once my painter paints them - made it easier for him and will save time and money to leave tape in place).

Carlos has integrity. I informed him that I didn't care if he wore his mask. He insisted he did because if company policy! Also, he did a perfect install and great job in clean up!! My insulated door was installed quick and works perfect. Thank-you to Benjamin for coming out ahead of time and shutting my old door that broke and fell off the track. RW doors installed my original door in 2002. Lasted 20 years!!!
