Garage Door Cable Drums (Pair / Set of 2) – 400-8 and 5250-18 Series Options

Keep your garage door lifting smoothly and evenly with a matched pair of cable drums (lift drums) designed for reliable cable tracking and balanced operation. These drums guide the lifting cables as they wind onto the torsion shaft, helping reduce uneven lift, cable slip, and premature wear.

 Key Features

• Sold as a Pair (Set of 2) – Includes both drums needed for one door (left + right)

• Smooth, Level Door Travel – Helps the door lift evenly and reduces strain on springs and hardware

• Grooved Cable Channels – Supports consistent cable winding for dependable performance

• Multiple Size Options – Select the correct drum code for your setup (400-8, 5250-18, etc.)

• Great Replacement Set – Ideal if drums are worn, cracked, or causing uneven cable winding

 What the Numbers Mean (Brief)

• 400-8 / 5250-18 = drum series + lift size code

• 400 ≈ 4.00" drum diameter series

• 5250 ≈ 5.25" drum diameter series

• The number after the dash (-8, -18) refers to the lift/door-height requirement used to choose the correct drum (varies by door lift setup)

 Quick Measuring Tips (To Order the Right Pair)

1. Best method: match the stamping on your current drum (example: 400-8 or 5250-18)

2. Measure outside drum diameter:

   • ~4" → typically 400 series

   • ~5.25" → typically 5250 series

3. Confirm door height and lift type: measure door height (common 7 ft / 8 ft) and note if it’s Standard Lift or High Lift

4. If unsure, send a photo of the drum stamping + your door height for a quick match
