Description
The 300mm Lock Cable Protector is designed to provide additional protection for the locking cable used in compatible garage door manual locking systems.
Installed over the lock cable, the protector helps shield the cable where it passes between components of the door locking mechanism, providing a cleaner and more protected installation.
Length: 300 mm
🔒 Protects the Lock Cable
The Lock Cable Protector provides a protective covering around the garage door locking cable.
It helps reduce direct contact between the cable and surrounding door components while keeping the lock cable neatly contained as part of the locking system.
📏 300mm Length
This version is supplied in a 300 mm length.
The compact length makes it suitable for applications where protection is required over a specific section of the lock cable rather than along the complete cable assembly.
🚪 Garage Door Locking Systems
The protector is intended for use with compatible garage door manual locking systems using a cable-operated locking mechanism.
These systems commonly use a centre lock connected by cables to locking components positioned toward the sides of the garage door.
Operating the centre lock pulls or releases the cables to engage or disengage the locking mechanism.
🛡️ Additional Cable Protection
Garage door lock cables can pass close to moving door hardware and other components.
Installing a cable protector helps provide an additional barrier around the cable in areas where additional protection is desirable.
This can help protect against:
- Direct contact with surrounding hardware
- Rubbing against adjacent components
- General mechanical wear
- Accidental contact with the exposed cable
🧰 Replacement or New Installation
The 300mm Lock Cable Protector can be used when assembling a compatible new locking system or when servicing an existing garage door.
Typical applications include:
- Replacement of a damaged cable protector
- Replacement of a missing protector
- Garage door lock repairs
- Lock cable replacement
- New locking system installations
- Garage door refurbishment
🔧 Simple Mechanical Component
The cable protector contains no electrical or electronic components.
It forms part of the mechanical lock cable installation and should be positioned so that the locking cable can operate freely without binding or excessive resistance.
🔍 Check Lock Operation After Installation
After fitting the protector, the complete locking mechanism should be tested.
Check that:
- The centre lock operates freely
- The lock cable moves correctly
- The protector does not restrict cable movement
- The locking mechanism fully engages
- The locking mechanism fully releases
- The cable does not bind during operation
Any excessive resistance should be corrected before the door is returned to service.
🛠️ Suitable for Garage Door Repairs
The Lock Cable Protector is a useful replacement component for technicians repairing cable-operated garage door locking systems.
Where the existing lock cable is also worn, frayed or damaged, the condition of the complete cable assembly should be assessed rather than replacing only the protector.
