Garage door cables
During my semi-annual inspection of my garage door found the cables frayed. One was about to break. Ordered some for cost of 6 bucks with free shipping. Took about 25 mins to replace them.
Might want to look at cables occasionally? Mine was probably about 17 years old. Ok do to some concerns I am not recommending this for the unskilled. Everything don’t have to cost 150 dollars or more if you have the ability? Last edited by Topspinmo; 03-27-2021 at 04:56 PM. |

Hope those ones for 6 bucks actually last. I had some break on a previous home NOT pleasant, actually did some damage. I replaced with cables larger (higher rated) then orginal.

The cable made by company in NE. The price range was 6 bucks to 39 bucks. It’s aircaft quality cables and my garage door is very light. I sure it will last another 15 to 20 years. The cables don’t lift the weight Of the door the springs counter balance the weight.
