Frequently asked questions
How long do lift cables typically last?
Most cables last 8–10 years under normal use. Doors that see heavy daily cycles, salt air, or infrequent lubrication wear cables faster.
Should I choose nylon or steel rollers?
Nylon rollers run quieter and don't need lubrication, which makes them the better choice for most homes. Steel rollers are more durable under heavy loads but require regular greasing.
My cable is only slightly frayed — is it urgent?
Yes. A fraying cable can snap without warning, dropping the door suddenly and damaging the opener or anything underneath it. We treat frayed cables as a same-day priority.
Why do you replace cables in pairs?
Both cables wear at the same rate. Replacing only the damaged one leaves the other ready to fail, which causes the same dangerous imbalance you're trying to fix.
