And, if spring breakage on those kind of door springs wasn't a fairly
regular happening, they wouldn't bother selling safety cable sets

(even

at Sears) and the building codes in many areas wouldn't require them.


The reason for the safety cables isn't just spring breakage but breakage
of the door cables and the attachment points themselves.



Ouch! I was so obcessed with those damn loops stapping of at those sharp
stress inducing bends, that I forgot about the rest of the components
under tension. Prolly because I never personally experienced any of
*them* breaking in a house we've lived in. it's always been those damn
end loops....those damn end loops...those damn.....(ad nauseum.)

That demostrates once again that two (or more) heads are better than one.
