Garage Door Cable Drums in Montreal

Garage door cable drums are mounted on the torsion shaft above the door. The lift cables wrap around the drums as the door opens and closes. If a drum is worn, damaged or not matched correctly, the garage door may become uneven, noisy, stuck or unsafe to operate.

Common signs of cable drum problems

• The garage door is crooked or uneven
• The cable came off the drum
• The cable is loose, frayed or tangled
• The door does not open or close smoothly
• The door gets stuck on one side
• The drum looks worn, cracked, loose or damaged

How to identify the right cable drums

Garage door cable drums are not all the same. The correct drum depends on the door height, door weight, cable size, torsion shaft, track setup and spring system. Photos are recommended before ordering.

To help identify the right garage door cable drums, please send us:

• A photo of the full garage door from inside the garage
• A close photo of the cable drums on both sides
• A photo of the lift cables wrapped around the drums
• A photo of the torsion shaft and spring system above the door
• The garage door width and height, if you know it
• A photo of any damaged cable, drum or bracket, if visible

For torsion spring garage door systems

Cable drums are commonly used with torsion spring systems. If your garage door uses extension springs on the sides, you may need lift cables, safety cables or pulleys instead. Send photos if you are not sure which system you have.
