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

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

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