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

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

The torsion spring is wound to a specific rotational tension when installed in Fleming Island, FL. That tension is what stores the energy used to lift the door in Fleming Island. The winding process compresses the spring wire's grain structure at the boundaries between coils in Fleming Island, FL. Over thousands of cycles, microscopic cracks develop at the highest stress points in the wire structure, typically near the winding cone in Fleming Island. When a crack propagates through the full cross-section of the wire, the spring fractures in Fleming Island, FL. The stored rotational tension releases instantly through the fracture point in Fleming Island. 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 Fleming Island, FL. The bang is the sound of that energy releasing in Fleming Island.
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 Fleming Island. 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 Fleming Island, FL. Now the spring's counterbalancing force is gone in Fleming Island. 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 Fleming Island, FL. If the door is in any raised position, the cables are carrying the full door weight without spring assistance in Fleming Island. The cables are under approximately twice the tension they were designed to carry in that case in Fleming Island, FL.
This is the symptom most homeowners notice first in Fleming Island, FL. You press the opener button. The opener motor runs. The trolley travels along the rail. But the door doesn't move in Fleming Island. This is the expected behavior when the spring has broken in Fleming Island, FL. The opener is designed to provide a small net force against a door that's already counterbalanced by the spring in Fleming Island. 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 Fleming Island, FL. It can't in Fleming Island. The opener is not broken. The spring is in Fleming Island, FL.
Look at the bottom corners of the door in Fleming Island, 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 Fleming Island. The door will be visibly lower on the side with the broken cable in Fleming Island, FL. If both cables appear taut and the door is at an even height despite the broken spring, only the spring has failed in Fleming Island. EZ Open assesses both cables as a standard part of every broken spring repair service in Fleming Island, FL.
A door that's in the fully closed position with a broken spring appears completely normal from the outside in Fleming Island. It's sitting on the floor, it looks like a closed garage door, and it may seem safe to attempt to open in Fleming Island, FL. It isn't in Fleming Island. The moment anyone tries to open it, with the opener or manually, the full door weight must be lifted without spring assistance in Fleming Island, FL. The opener can't do it in Fleming Island. 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 Fleming Island, FL.
A standard single-car steel garage door panel assembly weighs 130 to 200 pounds depending on the gauge, insulation, and window configuration in Fleming Island, FL. A standard double-car door weighs 200 to 400 pounds in Fleming Island. 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 Fleming Island, FL. Without the spring, the full panel assembly weight must be lifted by the opener or by manual effort in Fleming Island. Neither is designed for this and neither can do it safely in Fleming Island, 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 Fleming Island. The spring tension exactly balances the door weight and the door stays put in Fleming Island, FL. With the spring broken, there's no counterbalancing force in Fleming Island. The door's weight pulls it downward the moment you release it in Fleming Island, FL. If you raise it manually and let go, it will drop in Fleming Island. A 200-pound door dropping from the halfway open position generates significant force in Fleming Island, FL.
The opener motor is rated for a specific torque output that's designed to move a counterbalanced door in Fleming Island, FL. Running the opener against the full door weight without spring assistance puts the motor in an overload condition in Fleming Island. The motor draws more current than its rated load in Fleming Island, FL. It runs hotter than its designed operating temperature in Fleming Island. 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 Fleming Island, FL. In some cases the force limit trips and stops the motor before damage occurs in Fleming Island. In others, the drive gear strips and the opener requires repair alongside the spring replacement in Fleming Island, 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 Fleming Island. It's not in Fleming Island, FL. The cables are under significantly elevated tension carrying the full door weight in Fleming Island. 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 Fleming Island, FL. If a cable releases or a bottom bracket fails under the elevated load, the door drops completely in Fleming Island.
EZ Open's technician arrives with springs covering the common residential configurations in Fleming Island, FL. On arrival, the door height, estimated weight, and cable drum size are confirmed to select the correct spring for the specific installation in Fleming Island.
Before any repair begins, EZ Open performs a complete system assessment in Fleming Island. Both cables in Fleming Island, FL. Both drums in Fleming Island. Both bottom brackets in Fleming Island, FL. All rollers in Fleming Island. Track condition in Fleming Island, FL. And the surviving spring on a two-spring system in Fleming Island. The assessment identifies any secondary damage the spring failure produced in Fleming Island, FL.
The broken spring pieces are removed from the shaft using correct procedures in Fleming Island, 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 Fleming Island. Full unwinding is confirmed before the spring is released from the shaft in Fleming Island, FL.
The replacement spring is installed on the shaft with the winding cone positioned correctly in Fleming Island, FL. The set screws are started but not fully tightened until after winding is complete in Fleming Island.
The spring is wound to the calculated turn count for the specific door height and cable drum size using professional winding bars in Fleming Island. The set screws are tightened to the correct specification in Fleming Island, FL. The cables are reattached to the drums with correct tension in Fleming Island. The opener is disconnected and the door is manually lifted to the halfway position in Fleming Island, FL. The door is released and observed in Fleming Island. Correct balance confirmed in Fleming Island, FL. Opener reconnected and full cycle test completed in Fleming Island.
Both springs were installed at the same time and have completed the same number of cycles in Fleming Island, FL. Metal fatigue is a function of the number of cycles and the stress per cycle in Fleming Island. Both springs have experienced identical cycle counts under identical stress conditions in Fleming Island, FL. The spring that broke reached its individual fatigue threshold first due to microscopic variations in wire structure in Fleming Island. The other spring has reached essentially the same point in its fatigue progression in Fleming Island, FL.
Replacing both springs during today's visit costs approximately $50 to $150 more than replacing only the broken spring in Fleming Island, 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 Fleming Island. The total of two separate repairs is consistently higher than the cost of replacing both during the original visit in Fleming Island, 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 Fleming Island, FL. In this specific situation, replacing only the broken spring with a matching specification is the correct choice in Fleming Island. EZ Open assesses the surviving spring's age and specification and advises accordingly in Fleming Island, FL.
EZ Open recommends replacing both springs when both are at the same fatigue progression in Fleming Island, FL. The recommendation comes with the specific reasoning so the homeowner can make the decision with complete information in Fleming Island. EZ Open never withholds the reasoning or pressures the outcome in Fleming Island, FL.

The number of springs replaced is the primary driver in Fleming Island. Whether cable replacement is also needed adds to the scope in Fleming Island, FL. After-hours service carries an additional charge in Fleming Island. High-cycle spring upgrades add to the cost but extend the service interval from approximately 7 years to 17 or more years in Fleming Island, FL.
While EZ Open is already on site for the broken spring replacement, upgrading to high-cycle springs rated for 25,000 or more cycles is the most cost-effective time to make this upgrade in Fleming Island, FL. High-cycle springs cost $50 to $100 more per spring than standard springs in Fleming Island. That additional cost extends the next replacement interval from approximately 7 years to approximately 17 years at typical usage rates in Fleming Island, FL.
