Where Cedar Hills cables actually wear
Low, at the bracket, where winter wet lingers. And Cedar Hills adds a second cable-killer: an opener driven against a frozen-down door shock-loads both cables at once — warm water on the seal, never the button, is cable preservation too.
Two rules travel with this repair everywhere, Cedar Hills included: cables replace as a matched pair, and a jumped cable means finding what jumped it — a bent drum, uneven tension, a track fault — because re-seating alone is a repeat appointment on a delay.
Same metro, different numbers: Cedar Hills in context
