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

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

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