Garage Door Cable

The Garage Door Cable is a crucial component of any sectional garage door system. Designed to work with torsion or extension springs, these steel cables lift and lower the door smoothly while supporting its weight. Built from galvanized aircraft-grade steel, garage door cables provide the strength and reliability needed for both residential and commercial applications.

The cables are attached to the bottom of the garage door and a cable drum at either end of the torsion spring shaft. When the torsion spring turns the drums, the cables wrap or unwrap around the drum, the door lifts or closes. The spring winds up when the doors are lowered and unwind when lowered – helping move the weight of the door.

Extension Springs Cables 7×19 strand 1/8″ – they are made up of thinner strands of cable but many more. For example the 7×19 strand cable is 19 thinner strands per bundle then 7 bundles are twisted together to make the 1/8″ cable. The 7×19 strand cable is much stronger with a capacity of 1950 lbs and much more flexible than the standard 3/32″ extension cables.
