The fastening system is used for fastening the free end of a cable to a drum of a counterbalancing system, such as the counterbalancing system of a garage door. A method for fastening the free end of a cable to a drum is also disclosed. Thisfastening system comprises a pressure screw and a threaded hole made through the central sleeve portion of the drum to receive the pressure screw. The threaded hole extends from outside the drum to a central opening of the drum through which is inserted the shaft or an interposed element, such as a bearing. The fasteningsystem also comprises a cable-receiving channel provided in the central sleeve portion. The channel has at least a portion that is aligned with the threaded hole and that is adjacent to the central opening. The channel comprises a cable entry to receive the free end of the cable and is sized to tightly hold the cable therein when the drum is mounted around the shaft or the interposed element. The cable is then pressed between the pressure screw and the shaft or the interposed element upon tightening of the screw to rigidly connect the cable by friction engagement. Thefastening system is very dependable and easy to install. It also allows an installer or a maintenance worker to cut the cables on site from a continuous cable provided on a roll.
