"The cable went furry with rust, then it let go mid-lift."
Humidity-rusted lift cable, the classic call from the waterfront streets
Within a quarter mile of Lake Acworth or Lake Allatoona, dewy mornings settle on bare steel often enough that cables wear out in roughly half the time inland homes get from the same part. A door hanging on one cable is crooked, jammed, or both, so stop running it. We fit galvanized replacements in pairs, because the second cable is always close behind the first, and the truck already has them racked.
