Interested in the door strut stiffness (it is not a load).  Mine are weak and 
need
refurb/change.   I take it the values given in lbf are per inch (i.e. 50lbf/in)?
 Bud uses Newtons (is that 26N/mm Bud?) which works out at around 148
lbf/in which seems high (especially for Florida climate).

I never experienced significant door distortion and have attributed that in 
other
planes to overly stiff struts.

The pressure fill value of 1400psi is useful as that gives the refurb company a
value they can use.

Where is this place in Surrey Kevin?

JW
