Where North Ogden cables actually wear
Low, at the bracket, where winter wet lingers. And North Ogden 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.
Replace as a pair — both carry the same mileage — and treat a cable that has jumped its drum as a symptom: the drum, the tension or the track caused it, and re-seating without correcting the cause schedules the repeat.
