Yes, that wire. Good idea to put the new switch as the primary. Look at the old switch and see if there are contacts that can be bent closer together to make contact firmer when tripped.

Be aware of something that might be a problem. If the first switch works as intended, but the slider coasts past the first switch , and trips the second switch, the door will close as if you had hit the door button twice.
