@Deepak A. Hi Deepak. There won't be anyone back here until 5.15 so afternoon is out for me. Also, I'm not sure which springs to order or when they would come. Can you see from the photos if we need them? Many thanks Pauline

@Deepak A. Its still working and both springs attached still but the door is swinging down faster now. Someone said springs need adjusting? But they also sell new springs which I could get
