Garage door cable drums are found on the ends of the torsion shaft and look like metal wheels or hubs. Cable drums help the garage door remain balanced and level as cables wrap around the drums.

DIY Cable Drums Tip

Do you want to make your torsion cables last longer? Want to make your garage door more quieter? If so, use 3/32″ Torsion Cables with your new cable drums. The smaller diameter cables wont rub together as the door raises and lowers. This lack of friction will greatly extend the life of your cables. Since the smaller cables don’t rub, the garage door will run much quieter. This will also put less stress on the rest of the moving parts and make the entire system run better and last longer. Don’t worry, the 3/32″ garage cables are still plenty strong enough to lift any residential garage door!
