Garage Door Drums
Garage Door Drum Replacement
Garage door drums are an important component of your garage door system. Along with the springs and cables, they ensure the proper tension and stability needed to raise and lower the door smoothly.
When the drums become worn, they can make your garage door hard to operate, strain the other components, and pose a safety risk.
At Precision, we install high-quality garage door drums to ensure your door operates quietly, smoothly, and safely.
When Do Drums Need to Be Replaced?
Garage door drums typically last around 10,000 cycles. Over time, wear and tear to cable drums can cause various complications that impact the functionality of your garage door.
If you notice any of the following signs, it may be necessary to replace your garage door cable drums:
- Excessive Noise – If you notice unusual or loud grinding, scraping, or squealing noises when operating the garage door, it could indicate that the drums are worn out or misaligned.
- Jerky Door Movement – When the garage door starts moving in a jerky or uneven manner, it could be due to worn-out drums that cause the cables to catch or slip during operation.
- Visible Wear and Tear – This could include fraying cables, rust, or dents on the drum surface.
- Cables Jumping Off the Drums – If this is the case, you may notice that the door has difficulty opening and closing.
- Door Closes Too Quickly – If the garage door slams shut quickly rather than closing at a controlled speed, the drums may not be providing adequate tension to control the door’s descent.
You may also notice that the cables need to be replaced more frequently since they wear down when the drums aren’t properly supporting them. You should never attempt to fix your cables or garage door drums yourself.
If your garage door is difficult to open, won’t open at all, or is stuck in the open position, it’s important to call a professional right away.
