It sounds to me as if the door is set about right. It may be a
bit tight if it rests above mid point. The proper spring preload
is there to balance the weight of the door. I like to set them
where the door stands about half way. Finger tip, or least
minimal, pressure to open or to close. This would be true whether
or not you use a power operator.
