Extremely dangerous. Cables bear the full weight of the door (150-400+ lbs) along with the springs. A snapped cable can cause the door to drop suddenly, potentially causing serious injury or property damage. Never operate a door with a broken cable—call a professional immediately.
Garage door cables typically last 8-15 years depending on usage frequency, climate, and maintenance. Houston's humidity can accelerate corrosion on uncoated cables. Regular lubrication and annual inspections help extend cable life. We recommend replacing cables proactively when fraying is visible.
Yes, we strongly recommend replacing both cables simultaneously even if only one has failed. The other cable has the same wear and is likely near failure. Replacing both ensures balanced operation and prevents a return trip for the second cable failure.

Most The Woodlands, TX cable jobs run $135-$185 fully installed (both sides done together for safety). Service call $49 — credited to the repair. Lemus publishes the price before any work starts.
Always both. When one cable fails, the second is usually within months — replacing only one creates an unbalanced door that strains the opener and may snap the second cable. Both sides matched for length and age.
Most cables fail from age (frayed strands), spring imbalance pulling extra load to one side, or a sudden over-extension when the door hit something. Lemus inspects all three causes during repair so the new cable doesn't fail for the same reason.
60-75 minutes for most The Woodlands jobs including a balance check before we leave. We carry the standard The Woodlands, TX-spec cable sizes on the truck so no parts run is needed.
