1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    1. Step on the high (lifted) side of the door with foot and push
      down, applying pressure to move door down to a level position. Secure
      door down with two vice grips to level the door.



    2. Remove
      damaged cable and it will need to be replaced if frayed or kinked. You
      should never reinstall a cable because they will continue to spool off.
      Replacement parts are available at your local door dealer, such as
      Overdoors of Illinois.



    3. Attach
      new cable to bottom bracket, run the cable behind the hinge, up to the
      cable drum. Loosen the set screws on the cable drum and run the cable
      into the drum to match the opposite side, tighten the set screws.



    4. Raise and lower the door to make sure the door is tracking evenly and resting flat to the floor.
    5. Minor adjustments to one or both cables may be necessary to ensure proper operation
