Why does Diamond Doors still use lift cables?

One of the biggest debates in the bifold door industry is the lift cables vs straps debate. At Diamond Doors, we believe that cables are the safer and more reliable choice. That’s because our innovative cable lift system changes everything about how we view the cables vs straps debate.

What are three of the biggest points in the debate? First, that lift straps are stronger and more reliable than cables on overhead bifold doors, making them a safer option. Secondly, that straps are longer lasting, requiring less maintenance. And finally, that straps offer quieter and faster bifold door operation, making them a more appealing option overall. That may be true for some cables, but it’s not true for ours.

Let’s take a look at what Diamond Doors does differently and how it affects the choices we make when designing our overhead bifold door.
