Lift Cables

OVERVIEW

Diamond Doors uses highly specialized cables that utilize an extremely fine weave and fiber core for exceptional lifespan. These cables have 18 braids of 7 strands per braid and a flexible nylon rope center. Common competitor door cables use a 7×19 cable, which is 7 braids with 19 strands per braid. Our design has increased flexibility and longevity.

We are committed to creating quality products, which is why we go above and beyond, engineering our doors with a 10x cable safety factor. Using more cables translates to less loading per cable, helping to better distribute door loads and extend cable life.

Our unique cable lift system creates an offset during lift, preventing the cable from ever “overlapping” or coming into contact with itself (the primary reason for shortened cable life). Our innovative system guides the cables around the driveline like a candy cane. Our cables are not affected by wind and wrap consistently every time.

Lift cables have their first initial stretch upon install. Because of this, they rarely need tensioning. This low maintenance design is preferred to other competitor designs that need tensioning more frequently. When tensioning is required on a Diamond Door, cables can be adjusted at ground level.
