Garage Door Drum Springs
Overview of Garage Door Drum Springs
Garage door drum springs are an integral component of garage door systems, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. At Jim Beam's Garage Doors, we specialize in the installation, maintenance, and repair of garage door drum springs, providing you with the benefits and reliability you need for both residential and commercial applications.
What Are Garage Door Drum Springs?
Garage door drum springs, commonly known as torsion drums, work in tandem with torsion springs. They are mounted on the torsion bar and help manage the cables' winding and unwinding process as the garage door opens and closes.
How Do Garage Door Drum Springs Work?
When the garage door is closed, the torsion springs are wound tight, storing energy. As the door opens, the drum springs facilitate the transfer of this energy by winding the cables around the drums, lifting the door smoothly. When the door is closed, the cables unwind, and the energy is stored back into the torsion springs.

Benefits of Garage Door Drum Springs
Smooth Operation
Drum springs ensure the cables wind and unwind efficiently, providing a balanced and smooth operation for your garage door. This minimizes jerky movements and reduces wear and tear on the door and other components.
Enhanced Durability
Drum springs, working in conjunction with torsion springs, distribute the door's weight evenly, reducing the strain on the garage door opener and extending the lifespan of the entire system.
Safety
The controlled winding and unwinding of cables facilitated by drum springs help prevent sudden drops or slamming of the garage door, enhancing the overall safety of the door’s operation.

Drum springs are ideal for garages with limited space. They ensure efficient operation without requiring additional overhead space, making them suitable for various garage configurations.
