Garage Door Cable Drum Issues We Resolve in San Francisco

San Francisco's unique environment poses specific challenges for garage door cable drums. You can trust Safety Garage Door for fast and reliable solutions.

The Most Common Garage Door Cable Drum Issues
  • Wear and Tear: Over time, garage door drums experience natural wear due to constant use. This can lead to the grooves in the drum becoming worn out or misshapen, affecting the smooth operation of the door.
  • Cable Slippage: If the grooves in the drum are worn or if the drum isn’t properly aligned, the cables may slip out of place. This can cause the garage door to operate unevenly or become stuck.
  • Misalignment: Garage door drums need to be perfectly aligned to function correctly. Misalignment can occur due to improper installation, loose components, or structural shifts. This misalignment can lead to uneven lifting and additional strain on other parts.
  • Rust and Corrosion: In environments with high moisture or corrosive elements, garage door drums can rust or corrode over time. Rust can impede the drum's rotation and damage the cables, leading to potential safety hazards.
  • Cable Fraying or Damage: The cables that run over the drums can become frayed, damaged, or stretched. This is often due to the drum's condition and can lead to the cable breaking or the door malfunctioning.
  • Broken Springs Impact: Issues with torsion springs can indirectly affect the drums. If springs break or lose tension, this can put extra strain on the drums, causing them to wear out more quickly or malfunction.
  • Noise During Operation: Damaged or worn-out drums can cause unusual noises during the garage door's operation, such as grinding or squeaking sounds, indicating a need for inspection or replacement.
  • Unbalanced Door: If the drums aren’t functioning properly, they can cause the garage door to become unbalanced. An unbalanced door can be dangerous and may lead to further damage to the garage door system.

    We just used their service today.  Very responsive and showed up on time as they promised.  Also gave us notice in the morning to confirm what time they'd come.  They replaced the spring, tension, cable, etc. The garage door is working much better than before it broke!  Very professional and satisfied with their work!  Highly recommended!

    Very happy with my experience with Safety Garage Door Repair & Installation. Ibrahim quickly replaced a broken DW spring system with a more common torsion spring system.  He was knowledgeable and very careful.  They asked a very reasonable price and got the job done the next morning in a single visit.
