OVERVIEW

The cable anchor kit is included in wood building and quonset door packages to provide structural support while your bifold door is open. The kit reduces the outward pull of the door on the door header by transferring the load further back into the building.

The kit includes ¼” 9-17 wire rope cables, cable anchor brackets, and mounting hardware. The number of cables required is dependent on door size and load.

For wood buildings, the cable anchor kit attaches to the backside of the door header and to the top plate or post on your building’s side wall. Door installers can anchor the cables into the side wall at a 45 degree to 90 degree angle from the end wall, as illustrated in the photo gallery.

Length: 30’

FAQ

How do I install the cable anchor kit on a wood building?
To install the cable anchor kit on your wood building, locate the hinge mounting bolts on the backside of your header. Secure the cable anchor bracket with the provided washers and nuts. Locate the side wall post to which you will mount the cables and secure the cable anchor brackets to the post. Attach the turnbuckle and cables, then tighten the turn buckle until there is no slack in the cable.
How do I install the cable anchor kit on a steel quonset?
Bifold doors for steel quonsets are typically equipped with a self-supporting header system. The cable anchor kit is installed to the backside of the self-supporting header, which usually reaches past the roofline of the building. The cables will be attached to a braced section of the quonset, on the exterior of the building.
How do I tension the cables on the cable anchor kit?
We include turnbuckles with the cable anchor kit. To tension the cables, simply adjust the turnbuckles as needed.
