Cables Help Lift The Door Evenly
Garage door cables work with the spring system and drums to raise and lower the door. When a cable frays, slips, or breaks, one side of the door can drop or become uneven.
Do Not Force A Crooked Door
Trying to run the opener when a cable is off or broken can twist the door, damage tracks, and increase strain on rollers or opener components.
Cable Service Includes Related Checks
Because cable problems can be connected to spring tension, drums, bottom brackets, rollers, and track alignment, those related components should be reviewed during service.

- Door balance and travel
- Tracks, rollers, hinges, cables, springs, and related hardware
- Opener response, limits, remotes, wall control, and safety sensors when applicable
