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

The technician arrives with what's needed in Moriarty, NM.
The opener cannot lift a door that has lost its spring counterbalancing force in Moriarty, NM. Running the opener against the full door weight strains the motor, the drive gear, and the trolley mechanism in Moriarty. In the best case, the opener's force limit trips and the motor stops before damage occurs in Moriarty, 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 Moriarty. Do not run the opener with a broken spring in Moriarty, NM. And do not try to manually lift the door in Moriarty. A door without spring counterbalancing weighs its full 150 to 400 pounds with no mechanical assistance in Moriarty, NM. It will not hold a raised position without being held in Moriarty.
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 Moriarty.
EZ Open service vehicles carry torsion springs across the range of common residential door heights and weight configurations in Moriarty. In most broken spring situations throughout Moriarty, NM, the correct replacement spring is on the vehicle and the repair is completed on the first visit in Moriarty.

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

All pricing confirmed upfront before work begins in Moriarty.
The number of springs replaced is the primary driver in Moriarty. Whether cable replacement is also needed adds to the scope in Moriarty, NM. After-hours service carries an additional charge in Moriarty. High-cycle spring upgrades add to the cost but extend the service interval from approximately 7 years to 17 or more years in Moriarty, 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 Moriarty, NM. High-cycle springs cost $50 to $100 more per spring than standard springs in Moriarty. That additional cost extends the next replacement interval from approximately 7 years to approximately 17 years at typical usage rates in Moriarty, NM. Doing the upgrade during the current repair avoids a second call-out cost for the upgrade visit in Moriarty.
