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

The opener cannot lift a door that has lost its spring counterbalancing force in Eidson Road, TX. Running the opener against the full door weight strains the motor, the drive gear, and the trolley mechanism in Eidson Road. In the best case, the opener's force limit trips and the motor stops before damage occurs in Eidson Road, 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 Eidson Road. Do not run the opener with a broken spring in Eidson Road, TX. And do not try to manually lift the door in Eidson Road. A door without spring counterbalancing weighs its full 150 to 400 pounds with no mechanical assistance in Eidson Road, TX. It will not hold a raised position without being held in Eidson Road.

The torsion spring is wound to a specific rotational tension when installed in Eidson Road, TX. That tension is what stores the energy used to lift the door in Eidson Road. The winding process compresses the spring wire's grain structure at the boundaries between coils in Eidson Road, TX. Over thousands of cycles, microscopic cracks develop at the highest stress points in the wire structure, typically near the winding cone in Eidson Road. When a crack propagates through the full cross-section of the wire, the spring fractures in Eidson Road, TX. The stored rotational tension releases instantly through the fracture point in Eidson Road. 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 Eidson Road, TX. The bang is the sound of that energy releasing in Eidson Road.
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 Eidson Road. 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 Eidson Road, TX. Now the spring's counterbalancing force is gone in Eidson Road. 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 Eidson Road, TX. If the door is in any raised position, the cables are carrying the full door weight without spring assistance in Eidson Road. The cables are under approximately twice the tension they were designed to carry in that case in Eidson Road, TX.
This is the symptom most homeowners notice first in Eidson Road, TX. You press the opener button. The opener motor runs. The trolley travels along the rail. But the door doesn't move in Eidson Road. This is the expected behavior when the spring has broken in Eidson Road, TX. The opener is designed to provide a small net force against a door that's already counterbalanced by the spring in Eidson Road. 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 Eidson Road, TX. It can't in Eidson Road. The opener is not broken. The spring is in Eidson Road, TX.
Look at the bottom corners of the door in Eidson Road, 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 Eidson Road. The door will be visibly lower on the side with the broken cable in Eidson Road, TX. If both cables appear taut and the door is at an even height despite the broken spring, only the spring has failed in Eidson Road. EZ Open assesses both cables as a standard part of every broken spring repair service in Eidson Road, TX.
A door that's in the fully closed position with a broken spring appears completely normal from the outside in Eidson Road. It's sitting on the floor, it looks like a closed garage door, and it may seem safe to attempt to open in Eidson Road, TX. It isn't in Eidson Road. The moment anyone tries to open it, with the opener or manually, the full door weight must be lifted without spring assistance in Eidson Road, TX. The opener can't do it in Eidson Road. 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 Eidson Road, TX.
A standard single-car steel garage door panel assembly weighs 130 to 200 pounds depending on the gauge, insulation, and window configuration in Eidson Road, TX. A standard double-car door weighs 200 to 400 pounds in Eidson Road. 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 Eidson Road, TX. Without the spring, the full panel assembly weight must be lifted by the opener or by manual effort in Eidson Road. Neither is designed for this and neither can do it safely in Eidson Road, 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 Eidson Road. The spring tension exactly balances the door weight and the door stays put in Eidson Road, TX. With the spring broken, there's no counterbalancing force in Eidson Road. The door's weight pulls it downward the moment you release it in Eidson Road, TX. If you raise it manually and let go, it will drop in Eidson Road. A 200-pound door dropping from the halfway open position generates significant force in Eidson Road, TX.
The opener motor is rated for a specific torque output that's designed to move a counterbalanced door in Eidson Road, TX. Running the opener against the full door weight without spring assistance puts the motor in an overload condition in Eidson Road. The motor draws more current than its rated load in Eidson Road, TX. It runs hotter than its designed operating temperature in Eidson Road. 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 Eidson Road, TX. In some cases the force limit trips and stops the motor before damage occurs in Eidson Road. In others, the drive gear strips and the opener requires repair alongside the spring replacement in Eidson Road, 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 Eidson Road. It's not in Eidson Road, TX. The cables are under significantly elevated tension carrying the full door weight in Eidson Road. 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 Eidson Road, TX. If a cable releases or a bottom bracket fails under the elevated load, the door drops completely in Eidson Road.
EZ Open's technician arrives with springs covering the common residential configurations in Eidson Road, TX. On arrival, the door height, estimated weight, and cable drum size are confirmed to select the correct spring for the specific installation in Eidson Road.
Before any repair begins, EZ Open performs a complete system assessment in Eidson Road. Both cables in Eidson Road, TX. Both drums in Eidson Road. Both bottom brackets in Eidson Road, TX. All rollers in Eidson Road. Track condition in Eidson Road, TX. And the surviving spring on a two-spring system in Eidson Road. The assessment identifies any secondary damage the spring failure produced in Eidson Road, TX.
The broken spring pieces are removed from the shaft using correct procedures in Eidson Road, TX. 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 Eidson Road. Full unwinding is confirmed before the spring is released from the shaft in Eidson Road, TX.
The replacement spring is installed on the shaft with the winding cone positioned correctly in Eidson Road, TX. The set screws are started but not fully tightened until after winding is complete in Eidson Road.
The spring is wound to the calculated turn count for the specific door height and cable drum size using professional winding bars in Eidson Road. The set screws are tightened to the correct specification in Eidson Road, TX. The cables are reattached to the drums with correct tension in Eidson Road. The opener is disconnected and the door is manually lifted to the halfway position in Eidson Road, TX. The door is released and observed in Eidson Road. Correct balance confirmed in Eidson Road, TX. Opener reconnected and full cycle test completed in Eidson Road.
Both springs were installed at the same time and have completed the same number of cycles in Eidson Road, TX. Metal fatigue is a function of the number of cycles and the stress per cycle in Eidson Road. Both springs have experienced identical cycle counts under identical stress conditions in Eidson Road, TX. The spring that broke reached its individual fatigue threshold first due to microscopic variations in wire structure in Eidson Road. The other spring has reached essentially the same point in its fatigue progression in Eidson Road, TX.
Replacing both springs during today's visit costs approximately $50 to $150 more than replacing only the broken spring in Eidson Road, 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 Eidson Road. The total of two separate repairs is consistently higher than the cost of replacing both during the original visit in Eidson Road, 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 Eidson Road, TX. In this specific situation, replacing only the broken spring with a matching specification is the correct choice in Eidson Road. EZ Open assesses the surviving spring's age and specification and advises accordingly in Eidson Road, TX.
