Garage Door Safety Cables in Montreal
Garage door safety cables are used with extension spring systems to help contain the spring if it breaks. They are an important safety part for many residential garage doors with extension springs.
When safety cables may be needed
- Your garage door has extension springs on both sides
- There are no visible safety cables running through the springs
- A safety cable is loose, broken or missing
- The extension spring system looks old or unsafe
- A spring, pulley or lift cable was recently replaced
- You want to improve the safety of an extension spring system
How to identify the right safety cable
Garage door safety cables are not the same as lift cables. Lift cables help raise and lower the door. Safety cables are used with extension springs and help keep the spring contained if it fails.
To help identify the right garage door safety cable setup, please send us:
- A photo of the full garage door from inside the garage
- A photo of the extension springs on both sides of the door
- A photo of the pulleys and lift cables near the springs
- A photo showing whether safety cables are already installed
- The garage door width and height, if you know it
- A photo of any label or sticker on the garage door, if available
For extension spring systems
Safety cables are most commonly used with garage doors that have extension springs. If your garage door has a torsion spring system above the door, you may need lift cables instead of safety cables.
