other thing I was thinking about was whether the spring on the right is different tension than left, or vice versa, and needs some adjustment, as there are two springs, one for each side, obviously. Also track adjustment possibility; moving it to new position could help if it is not aligned...

I will see how balanced it is. It does stay open halfway, but as for staying open when it is say 12" off the ground, I'm not positive it does stay open. (going out to check). There seems to be some adjustment available on the springs/cable system. I believe they are called extension springs...
