I'm having my basement re-carpeted. I have a doorway that I currently
have 1 speaker wire and 2 CATV cables running across. The old carpet had
padding so I just cut a channel into the padding and ran a 1/4" x 1-1/4"
cable protector across the doorway. The new carpet will be glued down
with no padding. The other room will not be carpeted yet. What would be
the best way to get the cable across the door? Right now the installers
plan to use a raised molding that I put the cable inside. The problem
with that is that I still have to get the cable to the inside of the
doorway (we currently don't use a door here. I was thinking about cutting
a channel into the concrete floor and either use a conduit or the cable
protector. I have pictures of the doorway he

Cutting concrete, vs. extending the cables enough to run them in ceiling
where they should have been in the first place? Snaking through drywall, or
even slicing/patching a stud cavity, is much easier than breaking the floor.
If the walls a masonry or clay tile, just hide the cable risers in a shelf
unit.

BTW, assuming that is a 2'-6" door, that looks like 9" tile. With that size
and that color pattern, it is quite possibly of a vintage likely to have
asbestos in it. Late 50s- early 60s, right?
