Replacing Garage Door Drums

On occasion, homeowners need our garage door drum replacement service. Our technicians are experts when it comes to the repair or replacement of the drums, which are essential components in the garage door system. Drums are circular components located on the torsion spring shaft at the top of the garage door opening. They assist in lifting the door by winding the cables attached to the door’s bottom.

Drum Replacement Service

Assessment and Diagnosis

The service begins with an assessment by a garage door technician. They inspect the door, identify issues with the drums, and determine whether repair or replacement is necessary.

Removal of Old Drums

If garage door drum replacement is needed, the technician begins by disconnecting the garage door from the opener and then releases the tension on the torsion springs. The old drums are then carefully removed from the torsion shaft.

Installation of New Drums

New drums, matched to the specifications of the garage door system, are installed onto the torsion shaft. Proper alignment and positioning are crucial during this step to ensure smooth door operation.

Reassembly and Testing

Once the new drums are securely in place, the technician reattaches the cables and adjusts the tension on the springs to ensure balanced lifting. They then reconnect the door to the opener and conduct thorough testing to confirm that the door moves smoothly and operates correctly.

Adjustment and Calibration

The technician performs adjustments as needed to fine-tune the door’s balance and alignment. This step ensures that the door opens and closes evenly and without any jerking or uneven movement.

Lubrication and Maintenance

After the replacement, the technician lubricates the moving parts of the door system, including the drums, to reduce friction and prolong the life of the components. They may also provide maintenance tips for the homeowner to ensure ongoing smooth operation.

Safety Checks

A crucial aspect of the service involves safety checks to verify that the door operates safely, with all safety features functioning correctly.

Jeramie Keen of Keen Garage Doors arrived at my home within one hour of my distress call. He got my mangled garage door open so I could drive my car out of the garage and onto my driveway. He proceeded to quote a replacement door, new California code opener with emergency battery all ready to install within 2 weeks. In this business climate who would have thought all of this would be possible within one hour? Just amazing! Thank you Jeramie. Your company is my new go to garage door source. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you.

Great experience with Jeramie and his crew Skyler and Seth. I appreciate that Jeramie helped me upgrade the hardware for my 2 garage doors as I made the mistake of purchasing the doors elsewhere with hardware that was not advisable with heavier glass doors. With a speedy and efficient installation, I’m very happy with the finished product. Would definitely recommend Keen and would hire again in the future - Mike in Forestville

Keen was friendly, helpful and communicative from the start. My old house didn't have room for a regular sized garage door and I wanted a specific look. They delivered a custom built wooden door (with windows) that is just beautiful. It took awhile for it to be built, but they were accurately communicative about how long it would take. They installed it as expected and even sent a painter back to touch up a few areas to make it perfect. Thank you Keen! I highly recommend them.

Seamless service with keen garage door five star experience I recently had The pleasure of upgrading my garage door with keen garage door, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the process from start to finish. Leslie, the office manager, set the tone with her outstanding organizational skills and attention to detail during the initial conversation. She was not only a pleasure to speak with, but also made sure that my press questions were answered, Josh Their knowledgeable rep was prompt in stopping by to review the various options available. He provided a comprehensive quote that was straightforward and competitively priced no hidden and fees or surprises. When it came time for installation, Van and Jodi were the technicians who handled everything they arrived on schedule they were professional, took time to walk me through the use and maintenance of my new garage door. The level of customer service. The quality of the installation in the value of the price paid were all top-notch.

What a fantastic experience from the moment my garage door broke. They immediately came and did a quick repair. And then came back and replace my 35 year old door with a brand new door and it looks fantastic. They were on time they were courteous they were neat clean, quiet, and exceptionally professional. I would recommend them any day of the week.
