More about this in Brookshire
A garage door cable crooked situation means a cable has slipped off its drum groove and is winding unevenly, pulling that side of the door out of level travel. It's usually catchable before the cable frays or snaps outright, if the door's uneven pull gets noticed early. This page is one part of a larger guide to 24 hour garage door repair Brookshire.
