Why a garage door cable won't open the door once it lets go

The cables run from the bottom corners of the door up to drums mounted on the torsion shaft, and they're what actually keeps the door tracking evenly as the springs do the lifting. Once a cable frays through, slips off its drum, or comes loose at the bottom bracket, the door has no way to travel straight. One side can still be under tension while the other has none, which is why a door with a bad cable often looks like it's hanging at an angle instead of just refusing to move.
