Cable repair, by the symptom

Same-day cable fixes, every Delray Beach ZIP.

Cables don’t snap on their own — they fray on a worn drum, jump the drum when the spring goes, or rust out from Delray Beach salt air. When one cable fails the door usually drops on one side. Leave it and call.

Snapped lift cable

The most common cable failure. Door tilts on one side, scrapes the track, motor refuses to lift. We replace cables in matched pairs — the other side’s on the same wear clock — with the 1/8″ aircraft-grade cable that fits most Delray Beach residential doors.

Off-track door

Door jumped the rail. Hanging crooked. Common after a frayed cable lets go, a clipped bumper, or a hurricane gust. We re-track, true the rails, replace bent sections, and check the rollers — usually one visit, no panel replacement needed.

Drums & cable retensioning

If your cable jumped the drum, the drum’s likely scored and needs replacing — cable on a damaged drum frays again in months. We pull both drums, install matched replacements, and retension to factory spec before we leave.

★★★★★

Spring blew at 6am. Mo Better tech was at the door by 10. Told me exactly what it cost before he touched anything. Done before noon. Easiest $245 I ever spent.

★★★★★

Custom Eden Coast install on a tricky Lake Ida frame. Crew handled the HOA paperwork, pulled the Palm Beach County permit, finished ahead of schedule. We've already referred two neighbors.

★★★★★

Atlantic Avenue cottage with a 1980s carriage door. Mo Better matched the original style with new C.H.I. hardware, kept the period look, and the HOA loved it. Real craft.

Can you replace my broken cable in Delray Beach today?
Yes — cable replacement is a same-day call. Mo Better trucks are out every morning carrying matched-pair 1/8″ aircraft-grade cables for most residential Delray Beach doors. Phones answered 24/7. Call before 11am and a real Mo Better tech is typically at your driveway the same afternoon.
One cable broke. Do I need to replace both?
Yes — we always replace cables in matched pairs. The unbroken cable is on the same wear clock and the same Delray Beach salt air. A mismatched cable also tracks unevenly, which strains the drum and the spring. The cost difference between one and two cables is small — the cost of going back out next month is not.
Should I open the door with a broken cable?
No. One cable holding a 150–400 lb door is a panel-bender, track-twister, opener-killer. The opener will fight it, then fail. Worst case, the door drops. Leave it closed, call us, and we’ll do the lift safely with the spring released and supports under the door.
Door jumped the track. Is that the cable?
Usually yes — a frayed cable letting go is the #1 cause of an off-track door in Delray Beach. Second most common: a clipped bumper that bent the lower track. We re-track, replace bent sections, swap both cables, and check the rollers in one visit. Most off-track jobs don’t need new panels.
How much does cable replacement cost in Delray Beach?
Every Delray Beach cable job is quoted in writing before any work starts. The service call is $0 with any completed repair. No surprise fees. The number on your estimate is the number on your invoice. If the drum is scored we’ll show you the wear and quote the drum pair too — new cable on a damaged drum just frays again.
Is there a trip charge anywhere in Palm Beach County?
No trip charge anywhere in Delray Beach or Palm Beach County. Pineapple Grove, Lake Ida, Atlantic Avenue, Delray Shores, Bexley Park, Tropic Isle, Lake Forest. We come out, diagnose, give you a written quote — whether you book the work or not.
