Hi all

I have a very standard up and over / space saver garage door, with one big spring at the top. It recently fell off on one side, and I managed to get the cable back on... it's now running smoothly enough, but when its fully open, one side hangs down a bit more than the other, looking a bit uneven. It's okay half way down and when fully shut, but it gets a bit disorderly in the open position.

Is there any way for me to rectify this without getting a pro in?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most likely the cable hasn't coiled itself around the cone at the end it fell off on, close the door and standing inside looks at the cable and the grooves around the cone, try and shift the cable over one groove, it's likely out of sync with the other side and is one rotation out hence why it's not level
