Garage Door Cable Drums

Whether its a commercial or residential garage door, cable drums are an essential component on any Torsion style garage door opener with a cable assembly. Drums attach to the torsion bar, and act as a pulley to lift the door wind the torsion springs (also known as garage door springs). Drums vary in size and style depending on weight, height of the door, and necessary lift height. Cable drums come in sets of two that are specially designed to mount on the left and right hand sides of the torsion bar. They are manufactured from stainless steel that resists corrosion.
