Safety cables are the single most important part of every extension spring door.
Safety cables prevent the spring from becoming a potentially
deadly projectile in the event of spring or cable failure.
Extension springs are under extreme tension when the door is down or in operation.
Your door is closed for the majority of the time and when the door is in the down position the springs are fully charged and at their most dangerous.
When, not if, a cable or springs breaks and safety cables are not present the charged spring becomes a potentially deadly projectile.
I have seen instances of an extension spring actually traveling through garage walls.
Unfortunately I have done repairs after someone was hurt by a flying extension spring.
I cannot stress enough the need of having safety cables on any and all extension spring garage doors.
Simply look the cable around the back hanging, then feed the cable through the extension spring – tie off the end of the cable to the door track or door jamb.
Install with door open.
Close door and insure safety cable is not catching on any of the extension spring components.

Repairing a garage door is a dangerous task. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and require appropriate safety precautions. Realize and understand the risks before undertaking any repair. Your health and safety is the #1 concern. No amount of financial savings is worth jeopardizing your health.  Working on or around garage doors and openers could result in property damage, personal injury or death.
