More about this in Hunters Creek Village

A garage door cable crooked in its path shows up as a door that visibly leans or drags to one side as it moves, with one corner riding lower than the other. It usually means a cable has slipped a wrap on its drum or come loose from its bottom bracket. This page is one part of a larger guide to garage door repair Hunters Creek Village TX.

Call (346) 220-4724 and avoid running the door again until it's checked — a cable that jumps its drum can bind hard partway through a cycle.

Each cable spools onto its own drum at a precise number of wraps, matched to the other side so the door lifts level. A cable that jumps a wrap — from an impact, a worn drum groove, or simple age — throws that balance off immediately, and the door starts leaning the moment it moves.
