A typical garage door consists of a number of heavy duty parts such as torsion springs, brackets, and cables. Garage door cables are important items in every garage door as they are responsible for the support and movement of torsion springs that control movement of the garage door.
The purpose of garage door safety cables
Every garage door works with the help of torsion or extension springs. Keeping the springs firmly in place are safety cables to prevent the door collapsing down in event of spring damage or breakage. When a spring gives way the force of a collapsing garage door is enough to inflict fatal injury or serious damage to your car. Even worse is a snapped spring which can be thrown across a space with incredible force enough to penetrate a wall. Imagine what injury or damage is liable to be caused by such an event!
Damaged or worn out safety cables result in a garage door opening or closing with obstruction. The door can stick or get jammed. This is why a periodic inspection of the safety cables is necessary to prevent an accident.
Garage door cables are usually attached to a wall or the track of the door sharing the same support as the springs. For older systems, the cables are usually laced through the springs keeping them in perfect tension in order to allow the garage door to operate smoothly. For the newer systems, the cables are on both sides of the door, rolling on top of the drums, which in turn are connected to the springs through the torsion bar.
