2. Disconnect the garage door opener: If your garage door is automated, pull the plug. This will prevent the opener from attempting to operate the door while it’s off its tracks.

5. Once we put the door back in the tracks, we will test the door: to ensure that it’s operating smoothly and without any strange noises or issues. If the door still has problems, it may need to be further adjusted or require additional repairs.

Frayed, Broken or Stretched Garage Door Cables

One of the most common causes for your garage door to go off its tracks is a frayed, broken or stretched cable. It’s important to routinely inspect and lubricate the cables. If a garage door cable is starting to fray it should be replaced by a trained professional immediately.

When a cable is stretched it will cause the door to cock to one side and will progressively get worse until it fails. It’s imperative for proper operation and longevity that both cables are the same length and match.
