I feel much comfort with a torsion spring and the old stretch springs gone too.

-Dave-
As long as you're doing the insulation, doors, and windows.... Take a look at these to close those door gaps. Had posted a thread about a year ago, and they've sure worked for me! I believe I had titled the thread 'Winter can be cruel', or something like that. Regardless, here is the link:

Best of luck, and enjoy your comfort!

Thanks guys !
Marv, these new door really don't have any gaps. They also have very nice seals around the edges and the bottom seals up nice.
I see zero light coming in with the sun shining right on them. They're made in Ohio too !! ;)
