What Are the Types of Garage Door Cables and How Are They Installed?

Torsion Spring, Cables

These are the most common cables in Sydney homes. They’re found at each bottom corner of the door. Torsion spring cables are essential for winding the springs safely when opening and closing your garage door.

If a torsion cable snaps, your door simply won’t open. That’s why Reliable, correctly sized cables are critical for smooth operation.

Extension Spring, Cables

Less common but used in garages with limited headroom. These cables stretch and contract along each side of your door.

If an extension cable breaks, it can cause the spring to snap away from the pulley system. This poses serious safety risks to people, vehicles, or items nearby. Always choose the best quality garage door installation services for peace of mind.

Additional Types of Garage Door Cables

  • Lifting Cables: Bear the weight of your door daily. They wear out quicker due to constant tension and lifting.
  • Safety Cables: Installed alongside extension spring systems to prevent springs from flying loose if cables snap. This is known as Garage Door Safety Cable Installation.
  • Emergency Release Cable: Lets you open the door manually in case of a power outage or motor failure.

Each cable plays a specific role. That’s why working with a professional garage door cable installer in Sydney ensures your door is safe, compliant, and operating seamlessly.
