Professional Garage Door Drum Replacement
Garage door cable drums sit at the top of the tracks, facilitating the smooth movement of the door up by maintaining tension and giving cables somewhere to be contained during operation. These relatively small devices look a bit like wheels, but can cause big problems if they start to fail and the damage goes unchecked! Worn out drums can cause rattling, shaking, a loss of tension, and uneven closure. If you are experiencing any of these issues–or just generally suspect a problem with your garage door system–it’s important to have the door inspected by a professional as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the opener system.
So whether the true cause of your garage door problem is the drum, the rollers, or even the opener itself, having the system thoroughly inspected by a professional can save you time and money in the long run. At Mr. Spring, our technicians are trained to inspect and assess the full garage door opener system from top to bottom to ensure that issues are correctly diagnosed and any other potential problem areas are addressed. Even better? We’ll do all of this for free–with no travel fee no matter where you are located in the Twin Cities metro or beyond. Call or click below to schedule your no-cost estimate and get an accurate diagnosis and full cost analysis for your garage door drum replacement today.
Signs a Garage Door Drum Needs a Replacement
-
-
- Uneven Movement or Closure: If one side of your garage door has a gap when closed–or if it appears to be raising unevenly–this could indicate that one of your cable drums is experiencing a failure.
- Rust or Dirt: If your cable drums appear to be caked in dirt or rusting–a particularly common problem because of Minnesota’s humid summers–it might be time for a replacement.
- Cable Issues: If your cables are fraying, straining, or don’t seem to be holding tension correctly, they may be slipping on bad or worn out drums.

Broken Garage Door Cable Drum Replacement
Whether you need standard-, vertical-, or high-lift garage door drums replaced, Mr. Spring is prepared to help with the process. While drum replacements can likely be done by the particularly savvy DIY-er, it is typically advisable to have this process be completed by a professional. Like most garage door repairs, replacing the drums on your garage door involves adjusting the tension on the spring(s) which can lead to a dangerous release of that tension resulting in injury.
In addition to the tension on the springs, the garage door drums are key components in the cable system–meaning that the tension held by the cables will also need to be adjusted. Not only will the cables have to be disconnected while the drums are replaced, but they will need to be properly replaced to ensure smooth and even distribution of the weight of the garage door to prevent additional damage to the cables, tracks or the newly-replaced drums.
Replacing any piece of a garage door system with an incorrectly sized part or failure to readjust tension to the proper specifications can result in additional–and more costly–damage than the original repair. Combined with the safety concerns associated with lifting heavy garage doors and adjusting springs, it is typically recommended that a garage door drum replacement be completed by a professional. While the upfront cost may seem steeper than doing it yourself, you could save yourself a lot of time and money–and headaches–in the long run. The professional repair technicians at Mr. Spring are trained and experienced enough to complete your cable drum replacement quickly and efficiently.

Signs a Garage Door Drum Needs a Replacement

- Rust or Dirt: If your cable drums appear to be caked in dirt or rusting–a particularly common problem because of Minnesota’s humid summers–it might be time for a replacement.
