WORNDRUMS.REPLACED IN PAIRS.
Cable drums are the grooved wheels at the top of each side that wind the cables as the door lifts. When a drum gets grooved, pitted, or cracked it shreds new cables in months. We replace them in pairs and re-balance the door so the fix actually lasts.
Same-day. No upsell. Family-owned.
- Drums replaced in pairs so both sides wind evenly
- Fresh cables included so you are not back in a month
- We catch the drum, not just the cable, so the fix holds
- Correct drum sizing for your door height (no guessing)
- Stockton-based, family-owned, neighbor-trusted

Why Cable Drums Wear Out
A drum is a wear part. Once the cable groove is chewed up, every new cable rides wrong and frays. Replacing the cable without the drum is the classic repeat-callback fix we get hired to undo.
- Years of cycles wearing grooves into soft cast drums
- A snapped cable whipping and gouging the drum
- Wrong-sized drum installed on a tall or oversized door
- Rust and pitting from Delta humidity and winter fog
- Spring imbalance loading one drum harder than the other
- Off-track event that bent or cracked the drum
