Hi,
Yesterday one of the springs broke due to rusting at the bottom loop.
Managed to replace it but came to think about using a stainless steel
cable instead of galvanized one. Is there any reason we can't use
stainless steel cable? Any one knows? Garage door expert out there?


Not an expert, but what about using a larger diameter galv. cable? Can
you buy SS cables for a GD?


Or spray yearly with WD-40, which everyone
knows is a lubricant.

Hi,
And clean/ruin every thing? Dry up the roller bearings and on..., LOL.
