Signs You Need Cable Replacement
Why Cables Snap or Slip in Montreal Homes
Rust from road-salt splash and garage humidity
Metal fatigue after 10,000+ open/close cycles
A broken torsion spring shock-loading the cable
Door forced open or closed while stuck on ice
Cable pulled off the drum after uneven balance
Under-sized cable installed for the door weight
What To Do When a Cable Snaps
A snapped cable makes a 200–400 lb door unstable. Do this: 1. Do NOT operate the opener — a second cable failure can drop the door 2. Keep vehicles, kids, and pets out of the garage 3. Do not stand under a partially open door 4. Leave the emergency release alone unless the door is fully down 5. Call a technician — cables must be replaced under controlled tension We stock cables for every common Montreal door and can be on-site the same day. Call (438) 922-8583.
