Why is the cable longer than my garage door, and how do I choose the right size?

Pick by DOOR HEIGHT, not cable length — the cable wraps the drum, so it's longer than the door. 7 ft door = 8'6" cable, 8 ft = 9'7", 10 ft = 11'6", 12 ft = 13'6". Just match the variation to your door height.

What are the exact cable length and diameter for each size?

Diameter 1/8 in (3.2 mm) on all sizes; sold as a 2-pack (L+R). Lengths: 7 ft door = 8'6" (102 in), 8 ft = 9'7", 10 ft = 11'6", 12 ft = 13'6". For a custom door, measure your old cable end-to-end and match these.

Will this work with my extension-spring garage door?

No — torsion-spring systems only (spring on a shaft above the door with cable drums). The crimped loops won't fit extension-spring pulleys or S-hooks. If your springs run along the side tracks, this isn't the right part.

Can I use this cable if my old one was stretched or snapped?

It's 1/8 in (3.2 mm), a bit thicker than economy cables for strength, and seats in standard torsion drum grooves. It won't thread through thin extension-spring pulleys. Measure your old cable first — if under 1/8 in, it may not fit.

What is the cable made of? A magnet sticks to it — is that normal?

The cables are galvanized steel with a zinc coating for corrosion resistance, built for garage-door tension loads. A magnet sticking is normal for this coated steel.
