Re: Garage door spring safety cables

A steel rod welded at each end would be a heck of a lot safer than the cable. I'll probably go with 1/4 inch cable though. When I was a kid one went out and it put a hole in the sheet rock and a huge dent in the 2 X 4 stud underneath it. If it had hit someone it would have killed them!
