I noticed this a few years ago and forgot about it. How concerning is this?

    I’ve never seen an enclosed garage spring. Is that common, or more of a high-end garage door installation?

      Same. And Googling doesn’t bring up much.

        Sorry I was thinking of a garage door “safety cable” which is not applicable to the spring in the picture. I will fix my post to avoid further confusion.

        No worries! Tbh an enclosed (or at least shielded) garage spring is not a bad idea, although would be more difficult to inspect and work on in the event it’s needed.
