Why Garage Door Cables Break in Odessa TX
- Odessa summers regularly hit 105°F for weeks. Heat expands and contracts metal cable strands repeatedly until individual strands weaken and snap.
- Dust from Permian Basin storms gets into the cable drum and pulley system. That grit wears the cable unevenly, usually until it fails at the worst possible time.
- Homes along Andrews Highway, across Tanglewood, and out in Sherwood Park all deal with the same conditions. Broken garage door cables are one of our most common Odessa service calls.

Yes. A door with a snapped cable is unbalanced and under spring tension. Do not try to operate it until it is repaired.
