@fossyant I'm liking that for the DIY skills.

I probably could have repaired the door with a brake cable as the garage door cable is similar, but slightly thicker. I locked one end of the cable off with a cable clamp, threaded it through the cable 'cone' then down to the door roller, and looped it and finished off with another cable clamp. It took a few 'ups and downs' to get the door going up evenly as the spring tension was way out on the damaged side. Allen key and a screw driver to take the load out of the spring, then pulled the cable taught, and tried again. Took about 6 times to slowly tighten the cable until the door lifted evenly. Such a small component that can actually end up with the up and over door nearly falling off.

At least I've used my newish cable cutters I bought about 6 months ago for the bike.

With the step repair, can you cut out a sufficient amount from the frame to slot the new 'step' in ? The expanding wood glue you can get is outstanding. I was told about it by a joiner (the guy opposite me in the hospital ward when I broke my spine). You can get 5 minute or 30 minute setting. I chose the 30 minute.

I've used it to stop squeaking stairs (the whole staircase actually) and also to strengthen fitting of battons to the house and garage wall for a heavy gate to be hung off it. It sticks well with brick ! Everbuild expending wood adhesive. http://www.everbuild.co.uk/adhesives/wood/30-Minute-Polyurethane-Wood-Adhesive-Gel
