Where Centerville cables actually wear
At the bottom bracket, where winter moisture sits. A Centerville door that freezes to the slab and is then driven by the opener also shock-loads both cables — one more reason a frozen door gets freed with warm water, never with the button.
Cables go on in pairs; the second has the same mileage as the one that failed. And a cable found off its drum is evidence, not the crime — something in the drum, tension or track put it there, and fixing only the cable books the same call again.
