Fixing a Sagging Shed Door

Hi,

Thanks for your excellent website which I stumbled across when looking to fix my sagging shed door.

I have a basic question, fed by my ignorance as to how much tensile strength I'll need on the wire rope to correct the door alignment.

My door looks very much like the one you work on in the article, but the horizontal braces are at the very top and bottom of the door. There's no space between them and the edge of the door for me to use the bolt through eyelet. Do you think I can use a wood screw eyelet instead or will the tension on the cable pull these out, making surface mounting a better option

Thanks,

Alex
