Garage door cable that snapped in Telfair, TX: replacing a lift cable

A lift cable frays where it seats into its drum, a strand at a time, across thousands of open-close cycles — it almost never lets go in the middle of the wire. The cable on the door's other side has made the exact same number of trips, which is why a proper repair replaces the pair rather than the half that already snapped.

Telfair's garage door cables are unusually close in age

Telfair didn't grow street by street over decades the way most Sugar Land communities did. Newland Communities broke ground in February 2005 and had the first houses ready the following spring, and by March 2010, more than 1,600 of the 2,800 houses then planned were already standing — most of that during a single sales surge in 2009. That means a large share of Telfair's original lift cables are close to the same age, which is unusual for this part of the county.
