It's possible. It's been a long time since I've done one of these, but just 
thinking about it I can't see how this might be, since the springs are at their 
minimum tension with the door fully open, and closing them tightens the spring.

It may be that there is some important part that you can make stress free, but 
I can't see it in my mind's eye.
