    Auto-loc has always been my choice.

    There are 60lb kits too. The ones i like are called linear actuators, they're a little slower but there isn't any load 'whack' - the door just opens. Maybe autoloc? I've used autoloc, electric life and some others. The 40lb are all the same irregadless who you get them from.
