The D400-96 Garage Door Cable Drums 8′ Standard Lift are precision-engineered components designed for standard sectional overhead garage doors up to 8 feet tall. These drums securely wind the lifting cables, allowing the door to open and close smoothly while maintaining proper balance and alignment. Manufactured from high-strength cast aluminum, these cable drums are lightweight, rust-resistant, and built to withstand years of reliable operation. They are an essential replacement part for maintaining safe and efficient door performance.
The D400-96 Cable Drums are used on most residential size garage doors with torsion spring assemblies. One pair of drums can support a total door weight of 530 lbs (265 lb each). These drums accept 1/8″ cable diameters. These drums are sold in pairs with a right and left side mount. The right side drum is painted red and the left side drum is painted black. On standard lift doors the right hand drum (red) is located on the left side (inside looking out). The left hand drum (black) is located on the right side (ISLO).
