What causes drum failure?

Drums wear over time from regular use, or can crack from metal fatigue. A cable that has jumped off the drum can also cause scoring and damage that requires replacement.

Can you replace just one drum?

We recommend replacing both drums at the same time. Drums wear at the same rate, and mismatched drums can cause uneven cable winding and door balance issues.

Cable drums are the cylindrical spools at the top of your garage door that wind and unwind the lift cables. When a drum cracks, wears unevenly, or becomes loose, it causes the door to move unevenly or jam. Our technicians replace drums in pairs to ensure balanced operation.
