Question:

I have a shed that i converted to a door that opens like an enclosed trailer to easily drive my riding lawn mower in and out of. I was looking at installing a trailer ramp spring to making lifting it easier. I dont know what kind of spring capacity I should be looking at. my door dimensions are 63inch wide 76inch tall When opened and laying on a scale, the scale reads 77lbs. Should I go with the dual spring 120lb capacity or the single spring 80lb?

Due to the weight and dimensions of the ramp door you have on your shed the 67 inch long Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring # 362SA6 would be the better option. It's a few inches longer and has a capacity that matches what you'd need so it would be a great option.
