What the Restraint Fork Does
A restraint fork works with the garage door's extension-spring pulley and cable system.
The fork supports the pulley assembly while the nylon bushing provides a routing point for the restraint or containment cable. A properly installed restraint cable helps contain an extension spring if the spring breaks or becomes disconnected.

Installation & Safety
Extension springs and lift cables can store significant mechanical energy.
Before servicing pulley, fork, cable, or spring hardware, the garage door should be secured and spring tension properly controlled. Installation or replacement should be performed by someone experienced with extension-spring garage door systems.
A restraint or containment cable should be properly installed whenever required by the extension-spring system.
