More about this in Hunters Creek Village

Look near the bottom bracket or the drum at the top of the track and there's usually a frayed steel rope, either loose or snapped clean through.

Why a garage door cable goes first in a city built the way this one was
Hunters Creek Village's population went from 2,478 residents in 1960 to 4,580 by 1980, a build-out that happened in one long stretch rather than in scattered phases. With the median year a house here was built sitting at 1981, a large share of the city's original lift cables have been winding and unwinding on the same drum for over four decades. Steel cable frays from the inside, one strand at a time, long before it looks worn from the outside.
A garage door cable that snaps on one side only
Most Hunters Creek Village garages run two lift cables, one on each side of the door. When only one lets go, the door drops unevenly and can bind hard against the track on the side that's still holding. Forcing the opener at that point usually bends the track or pulls the other cable off its drum, turning a one-cable job into a full rebuild. Some doors with this problem actually have Hunters Creek Village broken garage door help instead.
What a frayed garage door cable does to the track
A door running on a stretched or fraying cable rides slightly out of square well before the cable actually breaks. That uneven travel wears the rollers unevenly and can walk the door off the track on its own, which is why a cable call in this city often turns into a track-alignment call in the same visit.
Garage door cable service across roughly 1,460 Hunters Creek Village homes
The city keeps up 22 miles of streets across those roughly 1,460 homes, packed into about 2 square miles — one of the tightest concentrations of similar-aged doors anywhere covered by this site. A cable rated for a certain number of open-close cycles wears out on the calendar as much as the odometer in a city this dense and this uniformly built, so broken garage door cable calls here tend to arrive in short runs rather than spread evenly through the year.
