Hello Everyone,
This is my first post to the forum, but I want to thank everyone as I have read numerous posts over the years that have been extremely helpful.
I was hoping for some help with a drain issue. I have a Keeney Cable Driven drain system that is about 6-7 years old. When I turn the nob at the overflow I feel resistance and hear the cable moving, but the pad that raises and lowers the plug does not move. It is stuck in the down position so I have to pull the drain stop out to get the tub to drain.
I emailed Keeney a bunch of questions and their response was remarkably not helpful. They said “we do not have replacement parts or a guide for repairing our drain” then copied a link to their installation video.
From what I’ve read, there doesn’t seem to be much I can do besides replace the drain assembly which would require accessing the back and bottom of the tub.
There is a fairly wide brass screw/bolt that is hollow in the middle that allows the stop to slide through. This bolt is what compresses the strainer and the plumbing.
One of the ideas I had was maybe trying to find a pop up drain that could potentially thread through the strainer and the plumbing but I’m not sure I’d be able to match the thread size and length with a pop up.
I am probably grasping at straws here but was hoping someone had an idea!
Thanks in advance everyone!
