Prime Line Products Gd 52102 Garage Door Safety Cable 2 Pack

Product Description

The PRIME LINE PRODUCTS GD 52102 is a galvanized carbon steel safety cable designed to contain a broken garage door extension spring and prevent injury or property damage during a failure event. Each cable measures 104 inches in length and is constructed from 0.125-inch diameter aircraft-grade galvanized carbon steel. This product is sold in a 2-pack and is installed through the coil of extension springs as a standard safety measure. Licensed garage door technicians and qualified contractors install these cables as part of a compliant spring system. California installations require safety cables by code, making this part essential for residential and light commercial garage door work in that state.

Safety cables are used in residential and light commercial garage door systems equipped with extension springs. The cable runs through the center of the spring and anchors at each end so that if the spring fractures under tension, the cable captures the broken spring and prevents it from becoming a projectile. A 4-cable set is required for dual-spring door configurations. This product is applicable to standard single-door installations using one 2-pack per door.

Key Features

• Galvanized carbon steel aircraft cable construction for high tensile strength and corrosion resistance
• 0.125-inch cable diameter compatible with standard residential extension spring hardware
• 104-inch length accommodates typical residential garage door spring runs
• 2-pack quantity covers a single-door extension spring system
• Required for California garage door installations per applicable building code

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement safety cable for residential garage door extension spring systems requiring 0.125-inch diameter aircraft cable.

Installation Notes

Safety cables should be installed by a qualified garage door technician or licensed contractor familiar with spring tension hazards. Before servicing any garage door spring system, disengage the door opener and release spring tension according to standard safe-service procedures. The cable must be routed through the full length of the extension spring and secured to the appropriate anchor points at both ends. Failure to properly anchor the cable defeats its protective function.
