Here is exactly what happened in Beaver Creek, TX. The torsion spring above your door had been accumulating metal fatigue cycle by cycle through every open and close in Beaver Creek. 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 Beaver Creek, TX. The rotational energy that was counterbalancing your door's weight transferred instantly through the shaft and disappeared in Beaver Creek. The door lost its counterbalancing force in that same instant in Beaver Creek, TX. If the door was moving when the spring broke, the side near the broken spring dropped faster than the other side in Beaver Creek. 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 Beaver Creek, TX. 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 Beaver Creek.

The opener cannot lift a door that has lost its spring counterbalancing force in Beaver Creek, TX. Running the opener against the full door weight strains the motor, the drive gear, and the trolley mechanism in Beaver Creek. In the best case, the opener's force limit trips and the motor stops before damage occurs in Beaver Creek, TX. In the worst case, the motor continues to run against the overload and the drive gear strips or the motor windings burn out in Beaver Creek. Do not run the opener with a broken spring in Beaver Creek, TX. And do not try to manually lift the door in Beaver Creek.

The torsion spring is wound to a specific rotational tension when installed in Beaver Creek, TX. That tension is what stores the energy used to lift the door in Beaver Creek. The winding process compresses the spring wire's grain structure at the boundaries between coils in Beaver Creek, TX. Over thousands of cycles, microscopic cracks develop at the highest stress points in the wire structure, typically near the winding cone in Beaver Creek. When a crack propagates through the full cross-section of the wire, the spring fractures in Beaver Creek, TX. The stored rotational tension releases instantly through the fracture point in Beaver Creek. 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 Beaver Creek, TX. The bang is the sound of that energy releasing in Beaver Creek.
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 Beaver Creek. 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 Beaver Creek, TX. Now the spring's counterbalancing force is gone in Beaver Creek. 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 Beaver Creek, TX. If the door is in any raised position, the cables are carrying the full door weight without spring assistance in Beaver Creek. The cables are under approximately twice the tension they were designed to carry in that case in Beaver Creek, TX.
This is the symptom most homeowners notice first in Beaver Creek, TX. You press the opener button. The opener motor runs. The trolley travels along the rail. But the door doesn't move in Beaver Creek. This is the expected behavior when the spring has broken in Beaver Creek, TX. The opener is designed to provide a small net force against a door that's already counterbalanced by the spring in Beaver Creek. 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 Beaver Creek, TX. It can't in Beaver Creek. The opener is not broken. The spring is in Beaver Creek, TX.
Look at the bottom corners of the door in Beaver Creek, TX. 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 Beaver Creek. The door will be visibly lower on the side with the broken cable in Beaver Creek, TX. If both cables appear taut and the door is at an even height despite the broken spring, only the spring has failed in Beaver Creek. EZ Open assesses both cables as a standard part of every broken spring repair service in Beaver Creek, TX.
A door that's in the fully closed position with a broken spring appears completely normal from the outside in Beaver Creek. It's sitting on the floor, it looks like a closed garage door, and it may seem safe to attempt to open in Beaver Creek, TX. It isn't in Beaver Creek. The moment anyone tries to open it, with the opener or manually, the full door weight must be lifted without spring assistance in Beaver Creek, TX. The opener can't do it in Beaver Creek. 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 Beaver Creek, TX.
A standard single-car steel garage door panel assembly weighs 130 to 200 pounds depending on the gauge, insulation, and window configuration in Beaver Creek, TX. A standard double-car door weighs 200 to 400 pounds in Beaver Creek. 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 Beaver Creek, TX. Without the spring, the full panel assembly weight must be lifted by the opener or by manual effort in Beaver Creek. Neither is designed for this and neither can do it safely in Beaver Creek, TX.
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 Beaver Creek. The spring tension exactly balances the door weight and the door stays put in Beaver Creek, TX. With the spring broken, there's no counterbalancing force in Beaver Creek. The door's weight pulls it downward the moment you release it in Beaver Creek, TX. If you raise it manually and let go, it will drop in Beaver Creek. A 200-pound door dropping from the halfway open position generates significant force in Beaver Creek, TX.
The opener motor is rated for a specific torque output that's designed to move a counterbalanced door in Beaver Creek, TX. Running the opener against the full door weight without spring assistance puts the motor in an overload condition in Beaver Creek. The motor draws more current than its rated load in Beaver Creek, TX. It runs hotter than its designed operating temperature in Beaver Creek. 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 Beaver Creek, TX. In some cases the force limit trips and stops the motor before damage occurs in Beaver Creek. In others, the drive gear strips and the opener requires repair alongside the spring replacement in Beaver Creek, TX.
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 Beaver Creek. It's not in Beaver Creek, TX. The cables are under significantly elevated tension carrying the full door weight in Beaver Creek. 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 Beaver Creek, TX. If a cable releases or a bottom bracket fails under the elevated load, the door drops completely in Beaver Creek.
EZ Open's technician arrives with springs covering the common residential configurations in Beaver Creek, TX. On arrival, the door height, estimated weight, and cable drum size are confirmed to select the correct spring for the specific installation in Beaver Creek.
Before any repair begins, EZ Open performs a complete system assessment in Beaver Creek. Both cables in Beaver Creek, TX. Both drums in Beaver Creek. Both bottom brackets in Beaver Creek, TX.

Both springs were installed at the same time and have completed the same number of cycles in Beaver Creek, TX. Metal fatigue is a function of the number of cycles and the stress per cycle in Beaver Creek. Both springs have experienced identical cycle counts under identical stress conditions in Beaver Creek, TX. The spring that broke reached its individual fatigue threshold first due to microscopic variations in wire structure in Beaver Creek. The other spring has reached essentially the same point in its fatigue progression in Beaver Creek, TX.
Replacing both springs during today's visit costs approximately $50 to $150 more than replacing only the broken spring in Beaver Creek, TX. 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 Beaver Creek. The total of two separate repairs is consistently higher than the cost of replacing both during the original visit in Beaver Creek, TX.
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 Beaver Creek, TX. In this specific situation, replacing only the broken spring with a matching specification is the correct choice in Beaver Creek. EZ Open assesses the surviving spring's age and specification and advises accordingly in Beaver Creek, TX.
