How a garage door cable actually fails

Garage door cable that snapped in Hilshire Village, TX: a cable drum close up

Each lift cable runs from a bottom corner of the door up to a drum mounted at the end of the torsion bar. When one cable frays through or slips off its drum, that corner drops while the other side stays put, which is why a cable failure shows up as a door sitting crooked rather than a door that just won't budge.

That doesn't change how a lift cable wears, but it does mean a dropped door here is usually noticed by a neighbor within the hour rather than sitting unseen for a day.
