What the symptoms can mean
A crooked door is a mechanical symptom, not just a cosmetic one. Repeated operation can increase stress on panels, rollers, tracks, and lift hardware.
When to stop troubleshooting
Stop operating the door if it is visibly crooked, off track, unusually heavy, has a broken spring or loose cable, or makes severe mechanical noise. Do not loosen spring or cable hardware.
