A crooked or uneven garage door in Cedar Rapids usually means a cable has slipped or snapped on one side. It's worth fixing quickly before it comes off the track.

Why does this keep happening in Cedar Rapids? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing winters takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and road salt corrodes hardware — so a crooked or uneven garage door is one of the more common calls our Cedar Rapids crews run.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your crooked or uneven garage door

A broken or loose cable

When one cable lets go, that side of the door drops and the door tilts.

A roller off the track

A roller out of its rail throws the door out of square.

Uneven spring tension

Mismatched springs can lift one side faster than the other.
