Lift cables
Frayed or snapped garage door cables
Two steel cables lift a garage door, one at each bottom corner. Each runs from a bracket on the bottom section up to the spring system, which winds it in as the door rises and pays it out as the door comes down.
Frayed strands
Broken wires sticking out of the cable, near the bottom bracket or where it winds onto the drum above the door. A frayed cable is replaced.
A snapped cable
The door drops on that side or jams at a tilt, and the loose end hangs beside the track.
Cable off the drum
A cable can slip off its drum when the door meets something on the way down or loses tension. The door then sits uneven with the cable slack.
Hands off a loaded cable
A cable is connected to springs under heavy tension. Leave it alone and keep the opener off until it is replaced.
Two systems
Where the cables run on your door
Spring on a shaft above the door
Each cable winds onto a grooved drum at one end of the shaft.
Springs along the tracks
Each cable runs from the bottom of the door, over a pulley at the end of the spring, and back to a bracket near the top of the track. A worn pulley can fray the cable that runs over it, and the pulley is replaced with the cable.
Cables and springs work as a pair
The springs store the force that lifts the door, and the cables carry that force down to the bottom corners. When one of the pair fails, the other one is part of the question, so say whether you heard a bang, saw a gap in a spring, or found a cable hanging.
Uneven door
A Springfield garage door that hangs crooked
A cable on the low side
Replacing or rewinding the cable brings it level.
A broken extension spring
On a door with a spring along each track, one broken spring leaves that side without support, and the door sags toward it.
Rollers out of the track
If rollers on one side have left the track, the door twists in the opening. It is set back in and the cause is repaired.
A floor that is not level
Sometimes the door is level and the slab is not.
Uneven travel
A door that is level when shut but tilts as it moves
Tilts as it rises
One cable is winding onto its drum unevenly, or has slipped a wrap. The cable is reset or replaced.
One side leads
On a door with a spring along each track, one spring has weakened and the stronger side pulls ahead. The weak spring is replaced.
Drops hard at the bottom
A door that falls the last few inches has a weak spring, or a cable that pays out unevenly near the floor. The spring or cable is replaced.
Jerks at one point
A roller is catching at a bend in the track on that side. The track or roller is replaced.
Scope
What makes a cable repair bigger
A cable replaced on a door that is still in its tracks is a single repair. The quote for your Springfield door covers every part a drop has affected, as one price.
A creased bottom section
The bottom section can bend where it took the weight. A creased one is replaced when a match is still made.
Several sections bent
If the drop bent more than the bottom section, or no matching section can be had, a new door measured to the opening is quoted.
