Thanks for an easy to follow video with proper light and camera angles. My cable came off this afternoon and door fell of the track on one side. With your video as a refresher lesson I made quick work of it. You sir just gave me my memorial day off back to spend it how It should be, honoring the fallen, not fixing garage doors. 🇺🇸
Thanks for the video. This helped as my cable jumped off the spool today. Saw a couple of other videos, but yours was the easiest explanation. Fixed it without breaking a sweat.
Hi Mojo, well you made that look easy good job we had 10c- yesterday today it's not that much better as we are at 6c- Sunday its shooting back up to 11c yippee. 🥵♨️🔥
Sorry for the late reply Larry! We had a family emergency the past week, and I was taking care of that. Unfortunately the weather forecast here is pretty bad for at least the next ten days. We have three -7℉ (-22℃) days in a row this week, and two of them have 23 mph winds! That comes to -33℉ (- 36℃) with the wind chill! We try not to even go anywhere in that kind of weather as you can get frostbite in just a few minutes on exposed skin. We also have about 6" of snow coming at the same time - just a miserable week as far as weather goes. It's going to be slow going around here probably thru the end of the year! 😑🥶🥶
Great vid and explanation on repairing this issue. How the heck does this even happen in the first place? I have a motor driven opener. All it does is lift and lower. We don't mess with the door in any other way, so I'm curious of causes in order to hopefully avoid this in the future. Thanks!
In my case, if the door tips to one side or the other even a little bit, it causes the cable to be loose for just long enough to pop off. I agree, I have no idea why it would do that being pulled from the center by an opener, but it obviously does 🤔 It may have to do with the length of the door. Ours is 18' wide (12' tall).
Help! I used the pliers to hold the door at the highest point, loosened the set screws, and wound it up and reattached to the door (both sides), but when I finished the 2nd side, it completely unwound itself when I let go even though everything was back to normal. What am I missing?
It would have been easier to loosen the set screws on the drum. Then turn the drum to wind the cable on it making sure to stay in grooves. Then retighten the set screws on the drum to snug plus 1/2 turn then add 1/4 turn to each set screw.
Im trying to replace my cable on one side but I can’t seem to access the cable on one side to take it out I nearly ripped off my finger when the tension bar went off
You need to only work on the cable when door is in the up position without tension on the cable. There should be little to no tension on the cable when door is open.
Adjust spools on each side to place just enough tension to keep cable lightly taught at the closest point to pulling bracket end. Remember, door should be in up position before working on cables.
I'm sorry, but if you fed the cable end BEHIND the torsion bar, you would not have to go through the trouble of pulling/dropping/pulling/dropping the cable onto the drum.

If you’ve never worked on cables or springs before be very careful. You could very easily hurt yourself if you’re not sure what you’re doing.

The springs need to have tension while you are doing that ? !

You have to mark the drum location with the rod, have more tools, and spend more time…sounds harder to me.
Yea, that sounds easy.

You need to have someone come out and look at it then.
You need to only work on the cable when door is in the up position without tension on the cable. There should be little to no tension on the cable when door is open.
Mine keep coming off track as soon as I move the door. There is no tension
You likely need the spring tightened.
Adjust spools on each side to place just enough tension to keep cable lightly taught at the closest point to pulling bracket end. Remember, door should be in up position before working on cables.
Only the first track makes the difference. The rest will "spool" upon lowering and raising the door.
Did you hear yourself? Doing it your way would allow less final length in the cable causing the unequal movement…again.
Both of my cables comes off, what way is better to set back them with the door open or shut,?
From most videos I've seen, manually open the door. Disengage the red handle from the chain.
It's probably too late but you should have gone to videos on setting the springs on spring assembly like adding new or broken spring.
Door closed.
Okay great
@@frankorosz901…you are dangerous
I'm sorry, but if you fed the cable end BEHIND the torsion bar, you would not have to go through the trouble of pulling/dropping/pulling/dropping the cable onto the drum.
If and when this happens to you…you’ll find out your method will never work
