Reply to comment by rolliejoe in Can I drill a hole in this door, and are there open/closable hole caps I can add to both sides? by rolliejoe

If its something you're hardly ever going to use then just run the cable through the open door,,, having your door open less than a quarter inch probably isn't going to hurt anything. Sometimes we make things harder than they need to be.

It is often very cold (even more so when I'll likely be using it) and I wouldn't want to be letting the cold air in by keeping the entire door open.

Edit: Also, even if not cold, insects.

You can run a cord under a.door and still shut it

I considered that approach, but the cable is a custom one for this unit and is round rather than flat, and the door closes very tightly. If it was a flat cable or a generic one where I could just buy a flat one I'd go that route, but in this case it unfortunately isn't an option.

A replacement custom made cable in flat is unlikely to cost a lot, certainly cheaper than having to replace the door.
