I need to replace the extension springs in my garage door. I weighed
the door (properly, a few times) and came up with 145 pounds. Do I use
140 pound springs, or 150?

Well, you're going to use 2, so it would be half that each. Consider
that it is trivial to add a little weight to the door if necessary,
but a litlle harder to figure out what you're going to remove to
lighten them a bit.

Nobody as clueless as you should do the job by themselves.

By HIMSELF. Singular.

Now, do you have an intelligent / factual answer, or are you just being
a useless turd?

And you'd give him the rope to hang himself.
