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

Living with Washington's freezing winters means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. snow & ice jam tracks and road salt corrodes hardware both feed straight into a crooked or uneven garage door, which is why our District of Columbia techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.

What might be wrong
