A system, comprising:

• an actuation device configured to move a first door leaf and a second door leaf between an open position and a closed position;
• a controller configured to be coupled with the actuation device and an actuation device brake;
• wherein the first door leaf and the second door leaf are configured to be held in the open position by an open preload force from the actuation device;
• wherein the first door leaf and the second door leaf are configured to be held in the closed position by a closed preload force from the actuation device;
• a first engagement member configured to contact the actuation device, the first engagement member configured to allow movement of the actuation device to adjust the open preload force and the closed preload force, the first engagement member is configured to provide at least a portion of the open preload force and at least a portion of the closed preload force;
• wherein the controller is configured to adjust the open preload force and the closed preload force.

A vehicle comprising:

• a first door leaf and a second door leaf;
• an actuation device configured to move the first door leaf and the second door leaf between an open position and a closed position;
• the actuation device configured to provide an open preload force to the first door leaf and the second door leaf in the open position;
• the actuation device configured to provide a closed preload force to the first door leaf and the second door leaf in the closed position;
• and
• a first engagement member configured to contact the actuation device, the first engagement member configured to allow movement of the actuation device to adjust the open preload force and the closed preload force, wherein the first engagement member is configured to provide at least a portion of the open preload force and at least a portion of the closed preload force, the actuation device is coupled with the first door leaf by a first rod and to the second door leaf by a second rod, at least one of the first rod or the second rod configured to adjust a length of the first rod or the second rod to maintain the open preload force in the open position and maintain the closed preload force in the closed position.
