How do I determine the weight of objects?

How do you determine the weight of metal doors, stone walls, etc. I'm asking because I need to adjucate shatter in my campaign, and it effects a solid object of 10 lbs per caster level.

The best way is with an english measurement engineering text, but I don't seem to have one available. Fortunately, that is why we have the internet. Here is one (apparant) gamer's resource.

Is there no game mechanic for this one? I know about the weight based on height for creatures, but there's nothing in the books about weights for materials. That seems a big oversight considering teleport and shatter both rely on weights.
