Weight Support: The cables bear the weight of the garage door, working alongside the springs to lift and lower it smoothly. Faulty cables can cause the door to become unbalanced or jam.

Preventing Sudden Drops: A broken or frayed cable can result in the garage door suddenly dropping, posing a serious safety risk to anyone nearby.

Smooth Operation: Properly functioning cables ensure that the door opens and closes smoothly, reducing strain on other components like the opener and tracks.

Safety: Malfunctioning cables create dangerous situations, increasing the risk of injury to people, pets, or damage to your vehicle if the door falls or becomes unstable.

Extended Lifespan: Maintaining functional cables can prevent undue wear on other parts of the garage door system, helping to extend the lifespan of your entire door setup.

Avoiding Costly Repairs: Replacing or repairing cables early can prevent more extensive damage to the system, saving you from costly repairs or even a full door replacement.
