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

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

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

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