Cables don’t snap on their own — they fray on a worn drum, jump the drum when the spring goes, or rust out from Naples 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 Naples 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 Pelican Bay frame. Crew handled the HOA paperwork, pulled the Collier permit, finished ahead of schedule. We've already referred two neighbors.

Old Naples 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.

Recent Naples jobs.
Every door we touch is one we'd put back on our own house.
Yes — cable replacement is a same-day call. Mo Better trucks dispatch out of the Naples HQ on Railhead Blvd every morning carrying matched-pair 1/8″ aircraft-grade cables for most residential Naples 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 Naples 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 Naples. 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 Naples?
Every Naples 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.
