Common Types of Garage Door Cables
Not all cables are created equal. Here’s a rundown of the main types we work with:
Standard Lift Cables

Got a garage with high ceilings? High lift cables might be your best bet. These cables are longer and designed to lift the door higher before it goes horizontal. They’re perfect for garages with extra headroom or those looking to maximize vertical space.
