Garage door cable crooked versus a door that's fully off track
A door that's crooked but still moving smoothly in its tracks is a tension issue, while a door with a roller that's actually jumped the rail is a separate problem — both get checked on the same visit if it's unclear which applies.
Correcting a garage door cable crooked problem for good
Rebalancing both cables together, rather than adjusting just the loose one, is what keeps a garage door cable crooked fix from becoming a repeat call.
