Cable Installation Basics
Safe & Smooth Operation
Proper garage door cable installation is essential for the safe and efficient operation of your Cable Garage Doors. When replacing or installing new cables it’s crucial to assure they are installed correctly to avoid any malfunctions or accidents. First disconnect the power to the garage door opener and disengage the emergency release. If you are superseding old cables carefully remove them by loosening the brackets and guaranteeing that no debris or tangled cables remain. The wires should be placed without twists and the drums should be wound in the correct direction clockwise for most setups.
