Here is exactly what happened in Bayou Country Club, LA. The torsion spring above your door had been accumulating metal fatigue cycle by cycle through every open and close in Bayou Country Club. When the fatigue reached the threshold the wire couldn't sustain, the spring failed and released its stored rotational tension in a fraction of a second in Bayou Country Club, LA. The rotational energy that was counterbalancing your door's weight transferred instantly through the shaft and disappeared in Bayou Country Club. The door lost its counterbalancing force in that same instant in Bayou Country Club, LA. If the door was moving when the spring broke, the side near the broken spring dropped faster than the other side in Bayou Country Club. If the door was stationary, it's now significantly heavier than the opener can lift and the cables are the only thing keeping it from dropping if it's in a raised position in Bayou Country Club, LA. If the spring broke while the door was in motion, the sudden drop may have sent a shock load through the cable that snapped it too in Bayou Country Club.

The opener cannot lift a door that has lost its spring counterbalancing force in Bayou Country Club, LA. Running the opener against the full door weight strains the motor, the drive gear, and the trolley mechanism in Bayou Country Club.

In the worst case, the motor continues to run against the overload and the drive gear strips or the motor windings burn out in Bayou Country Club. Do not run the opener with a broken spring in Bayou Country Club, LA. And do not try to manually lift the door in Bayou Country Club.

The torsion spring is wound to a specific rotational tension when installed in Bayou Country Club, LA. That tension is what stores the energy used to lift the door in Bayou Country Club. The winding process compresses the spring wire's grain structure at the boundaries between coils in Bayou Country Club, LA. Over thousands of cycles, microscopic cracks develop at the highest stress points in the wire structure, typically near the winding cone in Bayou Country Club. When a crack propagates through the full cross-section of the wire, the spring fractures in Bayou Country Club, LA. The stored rotational tension releases instantly through the fracture point in Bayou Country Club. The sudden release of several hundred foot-pounds of rotational tension in a fraction of a second produces the sharp, loud bang you heard in Bayou Country Club, LA. The bang is the sound of that energy releasing in Bayou Country Club.
Before the spring broke, the door's weight was being counterbalanced by the spring's stored tension transmitted through the shaft and drums to the cables in Bayou Country Club. The cables were in tension carrying the door weight from the bottom brackets, but that tension was exactly balanced by the spring's counterbalancing force in Bayou Country Club, LA. Now the spring's counterbalancing force is gone in Bayou Country Club. If the door is in the closed position, its full weight is resting on the floor through the bottom panel and the door is stable but immovable in Bayou Country Club, LA. If the door is in any raised position, the cables are carrying the full door weight without spring assistance in Bayou Country Club. The cables are under approximately twice the tension they were designed to carry in that case in Bayou Country Club, LA.
This is the symptom most homeowners notice first in Bayou Country Club, LA. You press the opener button. The opener motor runs. The trolley travels along the rail. But the door doesn't move in Bayou Country Club. This is the expected behavior when the spring has broken in Bayou Country Club, LA. The opener is designed to provide a small net force against a door that's already counterbalanced by the spring in Bayou Country Club. With the spring broken, the opener is trying to lift the full door weight with only 10 to 20 pounds of net lifting force in Bayou Country Club, LA. It can't in Bayou Country Club. The opener is not broken. The spring is in Bayou Country Club, LA.
Look at the bottom corners of the door in Bayou Country Club, LA. If one cable is hanging loose at the bottom corner rather than running taut from the bottom bracket up toward the drum, the cable on that side also failed in Bayou Country Club. The door will be visibly lower on the side with the broken cable in Bayou Country Club, LA. If both cables appear taut and the door is at an even height despite the broken spring, only the spring has failed in Bayou Country Club. EZ Open assesses both cables as a standard part of every broken spring repair service in Bayou Country Club, LA.
A door that's in the fully closed position with a broken spring appears completely normal from the outside in Bayou Country Club. It's sitting on the floor, it looks like a closed garage door, and it may seem safe to attempt to open in Bayou Country Club, LA. It isn't in Bayou Country Club. The moment anyone tries to open it, with the opener or manually, the full door weight must be lifted without spring assistance in Bayou Country Club, LA. The opener can't do it in Bayou Country Club. A person doing it manually is lifting 150 to 400 pounds with no mechanical assistance and the door will not hold a raised position in Bayou Country Club, LA.
A standard single-car steel garage door panel assembly weighs 130 to 200 pounds depending on the gauge, insulation, and window configuration in Bayou Country Club, LA. A standard double-car door weighs 200 to 400 pounds in Bayou Country Club. These weights are what the spring counterbalancing system reduces to the 10 to 20 pounds of net force the opener is designed to move in Bayou Country Club, LA. Without the spring, the full panel assembly weight must be lifted by the opener or by manual effort in Bayou Country Club. Neither is designed for this and neither can do it safely in Bayou Country Club, LA.
When the door is raised manually with the opener disconnected and the spring is intact, the spring's counterbalancing force holds the door at whatever height you leave it in Bayou Country Club. The spring tension exactly balances the door weight and the door stays put in Bayou Country Club, LA. With the spring broken, there's no counterbalancing force in Bayou Country Club. The door's weight pulls it downward the moment you release it in Bayou Country Club, LA. If you raise it manually and let go, it will drop in Bayou Country Club. A 200-pound door dropping from the halfway open position generates significant force in Bayou Country Club, LA.
The opener motor is rated for a specific torque output that's designed to move a counterbalanced door in Bayou Country Club, LA. Running the opener against the full door weight without spring assistance puts the motor in an overload condition in Bayou Country Club. The motor draws more current than its rated load in Bayou Country Club, LA. It runs hotter than its designed operating temperature in Bayou Country Club. The drive gear, typically a plastic or nylon gear that meshes with a metal worm gear, is under significantly more torque than its design rating in Bayou Country Club, LA. In some cases the force limit trips and stops the motor before damage occurs in Bayou Country Club. In others, the drive gear strips and the opener requires repair alongside the spring replacement in Bayou Country Club, LA.
In situations where the spring broke while the door was in a raised position, the door may appear to be holding itself up normally in Bayou Country Club. It's not in Bayou Country Club, LA. The cables are under significantly elevated tension carrying the full door weight in Bayou Country Club. The cable, drum, and bottom bracket on both sides are under loads they were designed to share with the spring tension rather than bear alone in Bayou Country Club, LA. If a cable releases or a bottom bracket fails under the elevated load, the door drops completely in Bayou Country Club.
EZ Open's technician arrives with springs covering the common residential configurations in Bayou Country Club, LA. On arrival, the door height, estimated weight, and cable drum size are confirmed to select the correct spring for the specific installation in Bayou Country Club.
Before any repair begins, EZ Open performs a complete system assessment in Bayou Country Club. Both cables in Bayou Country Club, LA. Both drums in Bayou Country Club. Both bottom brackets in Bayou Country Club, LA. All rollers in Bayou Country Club. Track condition in Bayou Country Club, LA. And the surviving spring on a two-spring system in Bayou Country Club. The assessment identifies any secondary damage the spring failure produced in Bayou Country Club, LA.
The broken spring pieces are removed from the shaft using correct procedures in Bayou Country Club, LA. On two-spring systems where both springs are being replaced, the surviving spring is unwound using professional winding bars following the correct unwinding sequence in Bayou Country Club. Full unwinding is confirmed before the spring is released from the shaft in Bayou Country Club, LA.
The replacement spring is installed on the shaft with the winding cone positioned correctly in Bayou Country Club, LA. The set screws are started but not fully tightened until after winding is complete in Bayou Country Club.

Correct balance confirmed in Bayou Country Club, LA. Opener reconnected and full cycle test completed in Bayou Country Club.
Both springs were installed at the same time and have completed the same number of cycles in Bayou Country Club, LA. Metal fatigue is a function of the number of cycles and the stress per cycle in Bayou Country Club. Both springs have experienced identical cycle counts under identical stress conditions in Bayou Country Club, LA. The spring that broke reached its individual fatigue threshold first due to microscopic variations in wire structure in Bayou Country Club. The other spring has reached essentially the same point in its fatigue progression in Bayou Country Club, LA.
Replacing both springs during today's visit costs approximately $50 to $150 more than replacing only the broken spring in Bayou Country Club, LA. When the second spring breaks, and at the same fatigue progression it will, the cost is a second call-out charge, a second spring, and potentially a second after-hours charge in Bayou Country Club. The total of two separate repairs is consistently higher than the cost of replacing both during the original visit in Bayou Country Club, LA.
If the surviving spring was replaced recently, within the last year or two, it has significantly fewer fatigue cycles than the broken spring and is not at the same risk of imminent failure in Bayou Country Club, LA. In this specific situation, replacing only the broken spring with a matching specification is the correct choice in Bayou Country Club. EZ Open assesses the surviving spring's age and specification and advises accordingly in Bayou Country Club, LA.
