Your Questions, Answered
What makes a garage door cable snap?
Years of flexing, rust, and friction against the drum gradually wear a cable down. Routine inspection catches the wear before it turns into a sudden break.
Is it safe to use the door with a broken cable?
No — once a cable fails, the door can drop unevenly or slip off the track. Call 1 (833) 652-7571 before trying to operate it again.
If only one cable breaks, should both be replaced?
Both cables endure the same wear over time, so replacing them together is usually the smarter move — it saves you from a repeat repair soon after.
