What a garage door cable repair fixes when a door hangs crooked

Each cable runs from the bottom corner of the door up to a drum mounted on the same shaft as the torsion spring. When both cables are intact and wound evenly, the door rises level. Let one fray, slip its drum, or snap, and the door tilts toward the side that lost tension — sometimes just a slight lean, sometimes enough that the door binds in the tracks and won't travel at all.
