Signs of a cable problem
Watch for a door that looks tilted or lifts unevenly, a loose cable hanging beside the door, the door stuck partly open, or frayed wire strands near the bottom bracket or the drum at the top. A cable that has come off the drum often happens alongside a spring problem, so we check both.
Cables are under tension along with the springs, and the bottom bracket they attach to is one of the most dangerous parts of the door to work on. This is not a safe do it yourself repair. Call us and we will replace the cables and re level the door correctly.
