Cable Cams Reset and Full Garage Door Tune-Up on a 16×7 Insulated Door in Centennial, CO
When a garage door cable slips off the drum, the entire system falls out of balance. That’s exactly what we found during a recent service call in Centennial, where a homeowner’s 16×7 insulated garage door had become uneven and unresponsive due to the cable cams jumping track. Left unresolved, this issue can twist panels, strain the opener, and lead to costly damage.

Restoring Proper Alignment and Door Balance
Our technician reset the cables back onto the drums and made sure both sides were properly aligned. Once the cables were re-seated, we re-tensioned the torsion spring to restore balanced lifting power across the full width of the door. Proper spring tension is key to preventing future cable slippage and ensuring smooth, safe operation.
LiftMaster Jackshaft Limit Adjustment
Because the door had been operating unevenly, the LiftMaster jackshaft opener also needed recalibration. We adjusted the open and close limits to match the door’s true travel range and verified that the motor was no longer encountering resistance. This helps protect the opener, reduces wear, and keeps daily operation predictable and quiet.
Full System Tune-Up and Safety Check
We wrapped up the visit with a full garage door tune-up, lubricating moving parts, tightening hardware, checking the bearings, and confirming that the door’s balance and alignment were fully restored. The door now opens cleanly, closes smoothly, and operates safely with the jackshaft opener.
