How do I know if my garage door cable needs to be replaced?

Garage door cables attach at the bottom corners and run up each track, winding around a drum above the door. Together the cables and spring help move the door up and down smoothly. If one cable breaks, it will add stress to the other and eventually break. You may have a broken cable if your garage door is:

• stuck open or closed
• crooked or lifts unevenly
• squeaking or shaking
