A snapped garage door cable in Sterling Heights often follows a broken spring or years of wear. It needs prompt attention before the door comes off the tracks.

In Sterling Heights, the weather is often part of the story behind a snapped garage door cable. Months of freezing winters mean cold snaps brittle springs and road salt corrodes hardware across Macomb County — exactly the kind of wear a local tech knows to check first.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your snapped garage door cable

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

A broken spring
When a spring fails, the cables take the strain and can snap next.
Rust and fraying
Moisture corrodes cables until a strand lets go.
Drum or pulley misalignment
A cable that jumps the drum frays and breaks.
How we fix it
