Loose or broken garage door cable
A cable that has frayed, snapped or come off its drum can leave the door uneven and unsafe to operate. Stop pressing the wall control or remote. Do not stand under the door, attempt to straighten it by hand or try to rewind the cable. Call (877) 325-9889 with the door position and your ZIP code.
Find the cause of the cable problem
A displaced cable may accompany a spring failure, a door obstruction or other hardware trouble. Simply putting it back on the drum without correcting the cause can leave the problem unresolved. A diagnosis should consider both sides of the door, the spring system, drums, tracks and the condition of the cable attachments.
Repair versus replacement
Ask whether the cable can be reset safely or needs replacement, and whether the other cable or related hardware also requires work. Fraying and corrosion are reasons to discuss replacement. The specification must fit the door system. A photo taken from a safe distance can help describe the request, but it does not replace an inspection.
Do not adjust tensioned hardware
The lower brackets and spring hardware can be under substantial tension. Do not loosen fasteners, cut the cable or use the opener to force the door level. If the door is open, keep the opening clear and tell the provider before anyone enters the work area. Mention any vehicle or access restriction when arranging the visit.
