Keep the first report factual

Describe whether the cable looks frayed, appears loose or is no longer following its usual path. Do not touch it to check tension. Note any recent impact or unusual sound and whether the door is partly open; that information helps define the safe assessment.

Keep replacement and related damage separate

Ask which cable components need replacement and whether the door or supporting hardware was affected. If a full installation is recommended, review it as a separate scope through West Palm Beach’s applicable building process. The repair explanation should connect each proposed part to an observed condition.

Your questions

Is a slack cable safe because it is not tight?

No. Other parts of the door may remain loaded, and its stability can be compromised. Keep clear of the assembly.

Should I use the opener to straighten the door?

Do not run a crooked door in an attempt to restore cable alignment. Stop use until the lifting system is assessed.
