Lifting a heavy door

[avin]

Hi!

I'm gonna DM a Pathfinder game in a few days. I'm working with a friend of mine's book, as I don't own the Core Rules (will be my first PF game, I'm a seasoned 3.5 DM tho). Problem is the book will be away from me for a few days and I need to set up a challenge:

Party's way is blocked by a massive iron door. This door opens lifting up, using some mechanism on the other side, which players don't have access.

They can lift up this door using a STR checkm, I guess. There's space enoug under the door and stone floor for two of them put their hands and try pulling it.

So, how do I set STR DC for this? Based on weight? Is there any table for it? This should be handled as one player doing the check and other aiding (+2 bonus?) or both do STR checks?

Thanks in advance

Easiest option would be to give the door a specific weight and use the Maximum Lift rules under Carrying Capacity. No roll needed.

A character can lift as much as double his maximum load off the ground, but he or she can only stagger around with it. While overloaded in this way, the character loses any Dexterity bonus to AC and can move only 5 feet per round (as a full-round action).

Under these scheme, a STR 13 character can lift no more than 300 lbs, so if the door were 310 lbs, a STR 14 character could open it and a STR 19 character could open it easily.
