What causes cable issues in garage doors?
Garage door cables can fail for several reasons. The most common causes include: 1) Normal wear and tear over time - cables typically last 5-7 years with regular use. 2) Broken springs - when a spring breaks, it can cause the cable to snap or come off the drum. 3) Rust and corrosion - especially in humid climates. 4) Improper installation or low-quality cables. 5) Lack of regular maintenance - cables that aren't lubricated can fray and weaken. Regular professional maintenance can help identify potential cable issues before they become serious problems. Learn more in our complete cable repair guide.
