When the door shuts and opens up, the spring can openly slide on this cable. When the garage door spring breaks without the cable within it, broken ends might badly hurt any person standing within their range. The cables should be featured with the overhead garage doors hardware, but they are either forgetten or DIY installers don't read through directions and presume that they are not needed.
