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

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

The torsion spring is wound to a specific rotational tension when installed in North Bay Village, FL. That tension is what stores the energy used to lift the door in North Bay Village. The winding process compresses the spring wire's grain structure at the boundaries between coils in North Bay Village, FL. Over thousands of cycles, microscopic cracks develop at the highest stress points in the wire structure, typically near the winding cone in North Bay Village. When a crack propagates through the full cross-section of the wire, the spring fractures in North Bay Village, FL. The stored rotational tension releases instantly through the fracture point in North Bay Village. 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 North Bay Village, FL. The bang is the sound of that energy releasing in North Bay Village.
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 North Bay Village. 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 North Bay Village, FL. Now the spring's counterbalancing force is gone in North Bay Village. 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 North Bay Village, FL. If the door is in any raised position, the cables are carrying the full door weight without spring assistance in North Bay Village. The cables are under approximately twice the tension they were designed to carry in that case in North Bay Village, FL.
This is the symptom most homeowners notice first in North Bay Village, FL. You press the opener button. The opener motor runs. The trolley travels along the rail. But the door doesn't move in North Bay Village. This is the expected behavior when the spring has broken in North Bay Village, FL. The opener is designed to provide a small net force against a door that's already counterbalanced by the spring in North Bay Village. 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 North Bay Village, FL. It can't in North Bay Village. The opener is not broken. The spring is in North Bay Village, FL.
Look at the bottom corners of the door in North Bay Village, 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 North Bay Village. The door will be visibly lower on the side with the broken cable in North Bay Village, FL. If both cables appear taut and the door is at an even height despite the broken spring, only the spring has failed in North Bay Village. EZ Open assesses both cables as a standard part of every broken spring repair service in North Bay Village, FL.
A door that's in the fully closed position with a broken spring appears completely normal from the outside in North Bay Village. It's sitting on the floor, it looks like a closed garage door, and it may seem safe to attempt to open in North Bay Village, FL. It isn't in North Bay Village. The moment anyone tries to open it, with the opener or manually, the full door weight must be lifted without spring assistance in North Bay Village, FL. The opener can't do it in North Bay Village. 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 North Bay Village, FL.
A standard single-car steel garage door panel assembly weighs 130 to 200 pounds depending on the gauge, insulation, and window configuration in North Bay Village, FL. A standard double-car door weighs 200 to 400 pounds in North Bay Village. 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 North Bay Village, FL. Without the spring, the full panel assembly weight must be lifted by the opener or by manual effort in North Bay Village. Neither is designed for this and neither can do it safely in North Bay Village, 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 North Bay Village. The spring tension exactly balances the door weight and the door stays put in North Bay Village, FL. With the spring broken, there's no counterbalancing force in North Bay Village. The door's weight pulls it downward the moment you release it in North Bay Village, FL. If you raise it manually and let go, it will drop in North Bay Village. A 200-pound door dropping from the halfway open position generates significant force in North Bay Village, FL.
The opener motor is rated for a specific torque output that's designed to move a counterbalanced door in North Bay Village, FL. Running the opener against the full door weight without spring assistance puts the motor in an overload condition in North Bay Village. The motor draws more current than its rated load in North Bay Village, FL. It runs hotter than its designed operating temperature in North Bay Village. 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 North Bay Village, FL. In some cases the force limit trips and stops the motor before damage occurs in North Bay Village. In others, the drive gear strips and the opener requires repair alongside the spring replacement in North Bay Village, 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 North Bay Village. It's not in North Bay Village, FL. The cables are under significantly elevated tension carrying the full door weight in North Bay Village. 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 North Bay Village, FL. If a cable releases or a bottom bracket fails under the elevated load, the door drops completely in North Bay Village.
EZ Open's technician arrives with springs covering the common residential configurations in North Bay Village, FL. On arrival, the door height, estimated weight, and cable drum size are confirmed to select the correct spring for the specific installation in North Bay Village.
Before any repair begins, EZ Open performs a complete system assessment in North Bay Village. Both cables in North Bay Village, FL. Both drums in North Bay Village. Both bottom brackets in North Bay Village, FL. All rollers in North Bay Village. Track condition in North Bay Village, FL. And the surviving spring on a two-spring system in North Bay Village. The assessment identifies any secondary damage the spring failure produced in North Bay Village, FL.
The broken spring pieces are removed from the shaft using correct procedures in North Bay Village, 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 North Bay Village. Full unwinding is confirmed before the spring is released from the shaft in North Bay Village, FL.
The replacement spring is installed on the shaft with the winding cone positioned correctly in North Bay Village, FL. The set screws are started but not fully tightened until after winding is complete in North Bay Village.

The opener is disconnected and the door is manually lifted to the halfway position in North Bay Village, FL. The door is released and observed in North Bay Village. Correct balance confirmed in North Bay Village, FL. Opener reconnected and full cycle test completed in North Bay Village.
Both springs were installed at the same time and have completed the same number of cycles in North Bay Village, FL. Metal fatigue is a function of the number of cycles and the stress per cycle in North Bay Village. Both springs have experienced identical cycle counts under identical stress conditions in North Bay Village, FL. The spring that broke reached its individual fatigue threshold first due to microscopic variations in wire structure in North Bay Village. The other spring has reached essentially the same point in its fatigue progression in North Bay Village, FL.
Replacing both springs during today's visit costs approximately $50 to $150 more than replacing only the broken spring in North Bay Village, 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 North Bay Village. The total of two separate repairs is consistently higher than the cost of replacing both during the original visit in North Bay Village, 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 North Bay Village, FL. In this specific situation, replacing only the broken spring with a matching specification is the correct choice in North Bay Village. EZ Open assesses the surviving spring's age and specification and advises accordingly in North Bay Village, FL.
