Signs of a cable or track problem
If you see any of these, stop using the opener and keep clear of the door.
Door is crooked or hanging on one side
One cable has come off its drum or snapped, so only one side is holding the door. This is the most common sign of a cable problem.
A cable is loose, frayed or dangling
Lift cables run from the bottom corners of the door up to the drums. Rust and fraying at the bottom bracket usually show up before a full break.
Rollers have popped out of the track
Often caused by backing into the door, a bent track or a broken cable letting one side drop. The door can bind or jam halfway.
Track is bent or pulling away from the wall
Loose brackets or an impact can bend the vertical track. Even a small bend can make rollers jump out.
Grinding, scraping or jerky movement
Worn rollers, a dry or misaligned track, or a cable starting to unwind. Catching it early keeps a small repair from becoming an off-track door.
The door came down hard
If a cable or spring lets go while the door is moving, it can slam shut and damage the bottom panel and track.
Door suddenly feels very heavy, or you heard a loud bang? That's usually a broken spring. Opener won't respond at all? See opener repair.
