What makes a garage door crooked
If both cables and springs look even but the door still tilts, the cause is often the track itself, either bent or mounted slightly out of level with its opposite side. If one cable is visibly slack or a spring on one side looks different from the other, that's usually the direct cause.
A garage door crooked from Fulshear's ground movement
Fort Bend County's Gulf Coast Prairie clay soils are flat and slow-draining, and Fulshear's ground is estimated to sink about 1.3 inches a year from groundwater extraction — slow settling that can shift one side of a frame more than the other and leave a previously level door running crooked.

A garage door crooked on a newer Fulshear build
With Fulshear's median home built in 2018, a crooked door on newer construction is more often a cable or spring imbalance than frame movement — the kind of problem that shows up early if a cable was slightly mis-tensioned during installation.
Fixing a garage door crooked before it binds
A garage door crooked in its travel puts extra strain on whichever side is carrying more weight, and left alone that imbalance tends to wear rollers, hinges and cables unevenly until something on the overloaded side fails.
