Frequently asked questions
What causes a garage door cable to snap?
Cables wear down from repeated flexing, rust, and fraying against the drum over years of use. Regular inspection catches this before it becomes a sudden failure.
Can I drive with a broken garage door cable?
It is best not to operate the door at all once a cable has failed, since the door can drop unevenly or come loose from the track. Call 1 (833) 652-7571 before attempting to use it.
Do both cables need to be replaced if only one snaps?
Since both cables see the same wear over time, replacing both is usually recommended so you are not back for a second repair shortly after.
