The cables with the Conventional Ramp Door Springs like part # M394FR are attached to the door via anchor brackets which are included with the kit. I have attached below the excerpt from the install instructions below which goes over the cable attachment. I have also pointed them out in a photo as well.

"With the door in the down position, attach the cables to the anchor brackets mounted on the floor of the door by inserting the clevis pin through the anchor bracket and the round thimble of the cable and secure with the cotter pin. Insert the other end of the cable with the small round stop into the notch on the cable spool. Turn the cable spool to take up the excess cable and tighten the set screws in the spool. Attach a pair of vice grips to the tube touching the top of the doorframe to keep the tube from turning and install the other cable on the other cable spool."
