Servo Motor that can move to a position and hold

Hi I need to know if I can use a Servo Motor to control and turn a turn a door to an open and closed position while withstanding 20 lb-in of force. Is there a code I could write in arduino that allows the Servo to turn to a certain position and hold for a desired amount of time?

Sure there is. And yes, there is code, too.

You will probably find what you want if you search this forum.

Many hobby servos will quickly burn out if required to maintain 20 lb-in torque (or 23 kg-cm) for any length of time.

To avoid that, look for heavy duty, metal gear, ball bearing servos rated for about twice that torque (at least 50 kg-cm).
