Off-Track Garage Door Repair on 181st Ave in Waddell
A homeowner in Waddell opened the garage door, but it did not rise completely. While backing out, the vehicle contacted the partially opened door, moving the garage door out of alignment. Eric replaced the two affected rollers and damaged cable, restored cable tension, and realigned the door so it opened and closed normally again.
What Happened to the Garage Door
The garage door had not opened all the way before the homeowner began backing out. The vehicle contacted the partially open door and knocked the door out of alignment.
At least two rollers on the left side came out of position, and the garage door cable was damaged and lost tension. That uneven garage door cable tension caused the bottom of the door to sit at an angle instead of closing evenly against the floor.
What Eric Found During the Inspection
-
1
Door Tilted Out of Alignment
The garage door was visibly tilted, and one side of the door sat higher than the other.
-
2
Left-Side Rollers Out of Position
At least two rollers on the left side had come out of their correct position.
-
3
Damaged Cable With Lost Tension
The damaged cable had lost tension, which kept the garage door from sitting level.
-
4
Large Gap Under the Door
Daylight was visible beneath the bottom of the door because the garage door was not closing evenly.
