Cable Drums

The grooved drums the lifting cables wind onto.

What it does

Cable drums sit at either end of the torsion pole and the lifting cables wind into their grooves. Matched drums are what keep both sides of the door rising at the same rate.

Signs it needs replacing

  • Cable jumping out of the groove
  • Uneven lift from one side
  • Worn or burred grooves

Fitting notes

Drums are handed and are replaced as a pair. A worn drum will chew through a new cable, so both get checked together.
