Thread: Getting electrical through door jamb?

I know someone out there makes rubber ones, seen them quite often

www.specialtypowerwindows.com Try these, I've used them on several projects without a problem. Mitch

Mitch,
I got a pair of those conduits with my power window kit but I coudn't make them work. Once I got them installed the door wouldn't close on them. They wouldn't slide into the door without kinking. I tried them both ways attached to the door and attached to the jam, neither way would work.

What kind of conduits are you talking about? Are you talking about stainless braided hoses, or some other type of thing? I got a set of braided stainless door looms with billet end caps from a company called autoloc, and they work pretty well. Basically, when you close the door, the stainless braided hose slides into the door without kinking. I saw they also make some modular contacts, and they're cool, but when you open the door the connection is interrupted. I guess they'd be idea if you didn't need power to the door when it was open.
