More about this in Jersey Village

A garage door crooked on one side almost always traces back to something on that side carrying more load than the other — a broken or stretched cable, an unevenly worn spring in a paired set, or a roller that's jumped its track. It's rarely the whole door failing at once. Anyone comparing options should also read the page on Jersey Village garage door repair.

Call (346) 220-4724 before running the opener on a door that's hanging unevenly.

Why one side of the garage door drops before the other

Paired torsion springs are supposed to carry identical load, but they age at different rates, and once one weakens more than the other, that side sags first. A snapped cable on one side has the same effect — the door tips toward whichever side lost its support.

Flat ground means it's the garage door hardware, not the slab

Jersey Village sits on flat, low-lying Gulf Coastal Plain terrain with an average elevation of 102 feet, so a garage door crooked on one side is far more likely to be worn hardware than a shifted foundation — flat ground doesn't tend to tilt a slab the way steeper terrain can.

A meaningful share of Jersey Village's housing stock likely dates to the late 1970s and 1980s, based on the city's population growth curve, and hardware from that era has had decades to wear unevenly between the two sides of the same door.
