Default Pulley wheels

However remember if these wheels are not capped by a curved piece of

Seems it only needs tug so tension could be maintained with a curtain
pull cord tensioner.

I'm doubtfull about how much force of the tug on the cord by the door
will make it around 4 or 5 pully's to the release point. I suspect
not a lot.
