If your door is properly balanced you should be able to bring it up to shoulder height, let go, and the door should not drop or raise on it own.

If you have extension springs and need to replace them note the color on the loop, that indicates the weight it is rated for.

Don't trust the color. They can mean nothing. Colors can be used for right or left wound, inventory, or even installation purposes. Source: me, in the door business since the 90s.
