Which lift tension should I choose? To select the correct lift tension for your door size, calculate your ''Max. Door Moment'' using the formula and example below.
Max. Door Moment = Door weight (in kg; be sure to include handle weight) x 9.80665 x Distance from hinge pivot to door's center of gravity/balance point (in meters).
Example:
Door weight plus handle weight = 4.5 kg (9.92 lbs)
Distance from hinge pivot to door's center of gravity/balance point = 0.18m (~7'')
4.5 x 9.80665 x 0.18 = 7.943, this is your ''Max. Door Moment''
Using the guide below, a Max. Door Moment of 7.943 requires one High-Tension lift
