Thanks for your assistance

Being the wires are broken I'd replace them. Home depot should have them as replacement parts or sold by the foot.
I was thinking about my door its aluminum and light if its wood it'll be heavy as heck. You won't damage it just be careful the wire rope doesn't get tangled in the tracks. The link I posted should help you get the job repaired. You'll need to hold the door open while replacing the wire rope. I'd use an A frame ladder to hold it up from the center of the doors bottom and get someone to help.
good luck.
