Properly balanced door


It is important to remember that a residential, commercial or industrial type door must always be properly balanced. Its dead weight should be between 10 and 20 lbs. (5 and 10 kg). If the door feels heavier than that, the source of the problem must be identified and corrected (ex.: springs that have lost their effectiveness). A properly balanced door can be stopped at any position.
