Another option if concerned about door strength would be to just use jack stands and add the (dog/fence kit LOL) this way you are not needing to add any cables to the door frame. On my TH (no patio kit option) I find it hard to believe that the strength of the door is any different than if it had a patio option? The door now withstands a 1400# sandrail and has/had warning stickers on it indicating the allowable load it can withstand and I can't see having more than 1400# of people on it ( 4 adults at 200# each plus a small table plus...) at once sitting on the deck? Or am I looking at this wrong? I guess the door when opened and resting on the ground at an angle is able to withstand more # than if it was level? And without the cables attached to the door opening you are not stressing out the door/ramp anymore than if you were to add them.
