The figure I have heard is 90 pounds each.  This seems correct given the
apparent weight when you try to open them without the pneumatic assist. 
Can't imagine what would make yours heavier unless there is an awful lot of
debris in the bottom of the door frames.  It is easy enough to check. 
Given that they are pivoted at one end, if you put a scale on the free end
when the door is horizontal, it should read about 45 pounds or 1/2 the
total weight ( ignoring any input from the booster strut or any residual
pressure in the main pistons ).
