Good quality cables, perfect match for our 7' garage door.
These fit our 7' garage door great. They matched the old cables, one of which broke near the base (loop end) - exact same cable width and length. It was a huge pain getting the old loops off (though the drum/roller side was easy). In the videos I watched, they just pry the old loops off the round bracket with a screwdriver. Mine were decades old and had super tight loops. I ended up using a bolt cutter and even with that it was challenging. That was the hardest part of the whole job for me.Doing a little research online I found two main methods for installing, winding and non-winding. The second cable had come loose and I had a pair of winding bars from when we replaced the spring so I went with the winding method. I read somewhere it is recommended to replace these cables in pairs anyway which I did and the winding method worked for me. There is another method I saw for installing one cable at a time with the door open and winding bars were not used in that method. I am no expert so I can't give advice or recommend any particular method. Working on garage doors can be very dangerous.Total time to install was about an hour for me.

Great replacment cables for the price
Appear to be better quality than what had originaly been supplied with the door. Came exactly as pictured and installed easily. If I didn't figure I'd forget where I'd put them, I'd order a second set now for when the 2nd door breaks.

These fit perfectly.
I was not able to find these replacement cables on the local hardware store and I did not want to take the chance of making my own due to the high tension places on these by the springs. I had one of my original ones break due to corrosion on my 7' garage door. These are very easy to replace... just watched a couple of the youtube videos. Just be mindful of the the energy potential that is in the springs. I had the door all the way to relieve some of this tension and replaced one at a time. These work perfectly. You can't find them in the big box stores. They fit perfectly.

Great cable. Works perfect with my garage door. The 8'8" is the right length for the old garage doors. Great deal and delivery is just the right time when I need it.
