The details

Done right
the first time.

Fairfield is a city in Fairfield County, home to about 61,515 people. From Fairfield County commuter towns to the Quiet Corner, Connecticut doors take a beating from salt air on the shoreline and deep cold inland.

Cables sit under the same tension as the springs, so a broken one is a real hazard. Cables usually fail because of rust at the bottom bracket, a worn drum, or a broken spring that let the cable go slack and jump the drum.

We replace cables in pairs and check the drums and brackets, because a new cable on a worn drum won't last.

Your questions.

Straight answers about repairs, new doors, pricing and scheduling.

Still unsure? Ask a technician.(475) 208-4145
Why did my cable snap?

Usually rust at the bottom, fraying from a worn drum, or a spring failure that let it slip.

Is a crooked door dangerous?

Yes. Leave it where it is, keep people clear, and call us.

Do you replace both cables?

Yes. They wear together, and matching cables keep the door level.
