Cable drums help your garage door maintain its balance. They look like wheels, and you can find them at the end of your torsion shafts. Cables spool around the drums as the door opens or closes. Drums are usually cast aluminum and measure 4 inches in diameter, though if you have a hefty commercial garage door, the diameter may measure 5 inches.
You can find several kinds of drums designed to work with different weight capacities and in various sizes.

If you have a bigger, heavier door, you will probably pay more than you would for a drum for a smaller door. You also have to cover the cost of the labor for the repair or replacement. When you choose Broten, we offer a one-year warranty on our labor.
