Garage Door Cable Replacement Kit for 7 Ft Door, 102 In Long, 2 Pack

Why we make it this way

A 7 foot door takes a 102 inch cable, which is 8 foot 6. The extra over the bare door height is the wrap on the drum plus the slack you need to set tension, so do not measure the panel stack and order to that number. Measure the opening, from the inside.

They ship as a pair because cables fail from fatigue rather than accident, and the second cable has done exactly the same number of cycles as the one that let go. Replacing one and leaving the other buys a few weeks and a door that hangs crooked in the meantime. These fit standard torsion systems.

What the maker states

• Made for 7 Ft Tall Doors: the garage door cables 7 foot doors use are 102 in (8 ft 6 in) long to allow for the turns wrapped around the drum. Measure your door height rather than the old garage cable
• 2 Pack for Both Sides: one 7ft garage door cable for each side of a single or double door, from 8 x 7 ft to 16 x 7 ft in size. One pack is enough for one door, so there is no need to order two
• For Standard-Lift Torsion Systems: fits doors with torsion springs above the opening. Not for extension springs, high-lift or vertical-lift tracks. This is a lift cable, not a garage door safety cable
• Heavy-Duty Galvanized Steel: this braided 1/8 in garage door wire cable resists rust and corrosion (thicker than standard 3/32 in cables). Use it to replace a frayed garage door lift cable, also called a garage door tension cable
• Stop End and Loop End: Each 7 ft garage door cable has a metal stop end for the cable drum and a loop end for the bottom bracket. The 2-pack replaces lift cables on both sides of a compatible door
