Garage door lift cables transfer the massive stored energy of your torsion springs to the bottom fixtures of the door. When a cable frays or snaps, the door drops unevenly, jamming in the tracks. Acme installs heavy-duty 7x19 galvanized aircraft-grade cables safely.
We replace cables in pairs for perfect level balance.
Standard builder cables use 7x7 strand construction that tends to kink and snap within 5 years. Acme exclusively installs 7x19 galvanized aircraft cables (19 micro-strands in each of the 7 bundles). This provides exceptional flexibility around cable drums, superior fatigue resistance, and higher breaking strength (over 1,800 lbs per cable).
