Garador Mk3c Cables

A pair of high-quality replacement garage door cables to suit doors by Garador (also known as Westland or Catnic) manufactured pre-1999 with an overhead counterbalance springbox (a metal unit located above the door containing two springs). These cables will suit door models Mk3c, Mk2 and S/S types.

• 6’6” wide doors – as Garador part number 1154
• 7’0” – 8’2” wide doors – as Garador part number 1155

Note: If your springbox does not have a removable plastic cover, it is not recommended to carry out repairs for safety reasons, and a new box unit should be purchased instead.

How can I identify these cables?

The cables are available in two lengths, depending on the width of the door. There is a plastic eye (originally metal) at either end of the cable. The cables are suitable replacements for any pre-1999 Garador, Westland or Catnic doors with an overhead spring unit. The cables are supplied in pairs.

Only one of my cables has broken, should I replace both?

When one cable has broken it is usually best to replace both sides, so that the door remains balanced, and the cables will be the exact same length on both sides of the door. Additionally after the cables have been replaced it is best to use light machine oil on all the moving parts. This will help prolong the life of the door mechanism.

I don’t have a removable plastic cover on my springbox, can it be repaired?

For safety reasons we do not recommend attempting to carry out repairs on the older style springbox without a removable cover. Instead you should replace the springbox in its entirety. A replacement springbox is supplied with the springs pre-tensioned which makes installation must simpler. You can buy one with us by clicking here.
