The D800-384 Garage Door Cable Drums 32′ Standard Lift are heavy-duty components engineered for oversized sectional garage doors up to 32 feet high. These drums control the lifting cables, balance the door weight, and ensure safe, smooth operation. Crafted from high-strength cast aluminum, they provide exceptional durability, wear resistance, and long service life, making them ideal for large residential, commercial, and industrial garage doors. One pair of drums can support a total door weight of 2000 lbs (1000 lbs each). These drums accept 1/4″ cable diameters.
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. Residential and light commercial garage doors use drums with a four-inch diameter, while heavier doors use five-inch drums. Garage door cable drums are most commonly made from cast aluminum.
