A crooked or uneven garage door in Columbia 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 Columbia? 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 Columbia crews run.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your crooked or uneven garage door

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

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.
