A: Usually no but if the drums are heavily worn then the cables have more stress and it would be a good idea to check them carefully. If upon inspection, cables are found to be frayed or have uneven wear, it is good investment to change both at the same time.
A: Garage door drum replacement can be done in 1-2 hours and on the same visit. The steps are: releasing safely the tension of the spring, taking out the old drums, fitting the new ones of correct size, re-winding the cables and finally conducting a full balance test.
A: No, this is one of the repairs that we discourage you from trying without proper training of a professional. Drums are placed right on the torsion spring shaft. To take them off, the springs must be fully unwound, and they are under very high tension. A mistake can lead to serious injury and complete breakdown of the system.
A: The main reason for cables coming off the drum is the drum being worn, cracked or the wrong size not the cable. The cause could be that the cables have been re-seated multiple times without resolving the problem. Our technician will make a diagnosis once he is there.
