The panels are smooth. When I accidentally scratched one once, it
looked like it was made of chipboard/particleboard. The door is made
up of articulated rectangular sections. Each section goes straight
across and is solid (no inserts, etc.).

I went out and measured the door - it is 7 foot tall by 16 foot wide
overall and is comprised of four rectangular sections.

The cable does have some frayed strands. I don't see any color dabs
on the springs. Any suggestions on what I need? It is a 7' tall 2.5
car wide wood composite door. As mentioned there are four springs -
two on each side.


When you say it is a composite door do you mean that it is flush (may
be smooth or rough sawn) on both sides or does it have composite
material panels (a row of squares or rectangles across each panel.

What is the actual width of the door? 2.5 car could mean different
things to different people & would make a difference on the weight.

With the above info I could look it up on a chart. If I were to guess
it would be in the 325 to 400 lb range.
