Del Mar combines the heaviest direct-coastal salt exposure in the county with ultra-high-end residential expectations. Aluminum frames, stainless hardware, and estate-grade discretion are baseline.. Coastal cables corrode from the inside out, salt humidity works into the strand and rusts the core while the outside still looks fine.
Why replace both cables if only one is frayed?
Cables are a matched pair under identical load across identical cycles. If one frayed or snapped, the other is at the same fatigue point even if it still looks okay. Replacing them together costs a bit more than one, and you're not back here in three months when the second cable gives up.
Nylon rollers versus steel, worth the upgrade?
Almost always yes. A good 13-ball-bearing nylon roller runs quiet for 20,000+ cycles. A builder-grade steel roller is loud from day one and flat-spots in 5 to 8 years. Easy call.
