Cable symptoms are not a complete diagnosis
A door leaning to one side may involve a cable, spring or track problem. Describe the movement and any visible damage without touching the cable or moving the door for a closer look.
REPAIR / LIFT CABLES
LOOSE CABLE. UNEVEN DOOR. STOP AND HAVE IT CHECKED.
Cables work with the spring system to move the door evenly. Fraying, loose strands, slack or a cable displaced from its drum should be assessed before further operation.

Match the repair to the door
Cable replacement requires the correct specification and an assessment of related parts. A cable that came off its drum also needs its underlying cause checked.
Prepare a useful service request
Include the city, property type, door position and whether you heard a snap or noticed an impact. A safely taken photo of the whole opening is more useful than a close-up that requires reaching into the mechanism.
Good questionsA little clarity.
A little clarity.
A better next step.
Is a loose cable always broken?
No. A cable can become slack or displaced without visibly snapping. The cause and the rest of the lifting system still need inspection.
Can I use the opener to straighten the door?
Do not use the opener to force a crooked door. Keep the opening clear and request an assessment.
Are lift cables the same as spring safety cables?
No. Lift cables transmit the counterbalance force. Containment cables used with extension springs serve a different safety function.
