How long do garage door cables last?
High-quality garage door cables typically last 8 to 12 years with normal use. Arkansas weather, including humidity and temperature swings, can accelerate wear if cables are not properly lubricated. Regular maintenance extends their lifespan significantly.
What are the signs of failing garage door cables?
Signs of failing cables include visible fraying, a door that hangs unevenly, or a door that won't open fully. If you notice any of these issues, stop using the door immediately. Continued use can lead to a snapped cable and a sudden, dangerous door drop.
Why do garage door cables break?
Cables break due to metal fatigue, rust from high humidity, or bearing the full weight of the door if a spring fails. In Northeast Arkansas, seasonal changes can cause metal components to stress over time. Regular inspection helps catch frayed cables before they snap.
