Cable problems are not always obvious
One side sits lower
Uneven door position can involve cables, tracks or the counterbalance system. Avoid trying to straighten the door by hand.
A cable appears loose
A slack or displaced cable can be a symptom of another fault. Reattaching it without addressing the cause may leave the problem unresolved.
Look beyond the cable itself
A useful cable repair takes account of the drum, door position, spring arrangement and surrounding components. The work required is established after checking the complete situation.
Discuss your service needsCable assessment and replacement

Cable fault or a wider door problem?
A snapped cable may be the obvious issue, but a displaced cable can also follow another mechanical problem. The door's position and the condition of linked components help determine the appropriate repair. Replacement cables must suit the system; a generic cable or improvised attachment is not a safe substitute.

Can I put a loose cable back myself?
Leave cable work to a trained door systems technician. A loose cable can be connected to stored tension or a door that is not properly supported.
Is an uneven door always a cable problem?
No. Track damage, rollers, springs or other components can also affect alignment. The door needs assessment before the repair can be determined.
Will the whole door need replacing?
Not necessarily. A component repair may be appropriate if the door and other parts remain suitable. More extensive damage can change that recommendation.
