Tool Tip #15: Hose through a Door

Over the years I've pinched and cut enough hoses and wires in my shop door because it was required to keep the door shut for heating, cooling, dust, vapors, etc.  The simple solution as shown is to install two cable hole grommets on either side of the door.  These serve to permit passage through the door, prevent chafing of the hose or wire and allow easy closure of the hole with the grommet's snap-in cover (lying on the sill).  My custom office systems have always included numerous cable hole grommets, though, with the advent of so much wireless equipment, the market for these will likely decline...a warning to investors in cable hole grommet manufacturers.
