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

The technician arrives with what's needed in Iyanbito, NM.
The opener cannot lift a door that has lost its spring counterbalancing force in Iyanbito, NM. Running the opener against the full door weight strains the motor, the drive gear, and the trolley mechanism in Iyanbito. In the best case, the opener's force limit trips and the motor stops before damage occurs in Iyanbito, NM. In the worst case, the motor continues to run against the overload and the drive gear strips or the motor windings burn out in Iyanbito. Do not run the opener with a broken spring in Iyanbito, NM. And do not try to manually lift the door in Iyanbito. A door without spring counterbalancing weighs its full 150 to 400 pounds with no mechanical assistance in Iyanbito, NM. It will not hold a raised position without being held in Iyanbito.
EZ Open's broken spring service covers a complete assessment of the door system including cable condition on both sides, drum condition, bottom bracket and roller condition, and track condition, identification of the correct replacement spring specification for the specific door, safe removal of the broken spring using correct winding bars and procedures, installation of the correctly specified replacement spring, winding to the correct turn count for the door height and drum size, cable inspection and replacement where the spring failure also caused cable damage, balance test with opener disconnected, and complete door operation verification before we leave in Iyanbito.

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

The number of springs replaced is the primary driver in Iyanbito. Whether cable replacement is also needed adds to the scope in Iyanbito, NM.

High-cycle spring upgrades add to the cost but extend the service interval from approximately 7 years to 17 or more years in Iyanbito, NM.
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 Iyanbito, NM.
