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

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

The torsion spring is wound to a specific rotational tension when installed in Pebble Creek, FL. That tension is what stores the energy used to lift the door in Pebble Creek. The winding process compresses the spring wire's grain structure at the boundaries between coils in Pebble Creek, FL. Over thousands of cycles, microscopic cracks develop at the highest stress points in the wire structure, typically near the winding cone in Pebble Creek. When a crack propagates through the full cross-section of the wire, the spring fractures in Pebble Creek, FL. The stored rotational tension releases instantly through the fracture point in Pebble Creek. 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 Pebble Creek, FL. The bang is the sound of that energy releasing in Pebble Creek.
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 Pebble Creek. 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 Pebble Creek, FL. Now the spring's counterbalancing force is gone in Pebble Creek. 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 Pebble Creek, FL. If the door is in any raised position, the cables are carrying the full door weight without spring assistance in Pebble Creek. The cables are under approximately twice the tension they were designed to carry in that case in Pebble Creek, FL.
This is the symptom most homeowners notice first in Pebble Creek, FL. You press the opener button. The opener motor runs. The trolley travels along the rail. But the door doesn't move in Pebble Creek. This is the expected behavior when the spring has broken in Pebble Creek, FL. The opener is designed to provide a small net force against a door that's already counterbalanced by the spring in Pebble Creek. 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 Pebble Creek, FL. It can't in Pebble Creek. The opener is not broken. The spring is in Pebble Creek, FL.
Look at the bottom corners of the door in Pebble Creek, 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 Pebble Creek. The door will be visibly lower on the side with the broken cable in Pebble Creek, FL. If both cables appear taut and the door is at an even height despite the broken spring, only the spring has failed in Pebble Creek. EZ Open assesses both cables as a standard part of every broken spring repair service in Pebble Creek, FL.
A door that's in the fully closed position with a broken spring appears completely normal from the outside in Pebble Creek. It's sitting on the floor, it looks like a closed garage door, and it may seem safe to attempt to open in Pebble Creek, FL. It isn't in Pebble Creek. The moment anyone tries to open it, with the opener or manually, the full door weight must be lifted without spring assistance in Pebble Creek, FL. The opener can't do it in Pebble Creek. 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 Pebble Creek, FL.
A standard single-car steel garage door panel assembly weighs 130 to 200 pounds depending on the gauge, insulation, and window configuration in Pebble Creek, FL. A standard double-car door weighs 200 to 400 pounds in Pebble Creek. 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 Pebble Creek, FL. Without the spring, the full panel assembly weight must be lifted by the opener or by manual effort in Pebble Creek. Neither is designed for this and neither can do it safely in Pebble Creek, 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 Pebble Creek. The spring tension exactly balances the door weight and the door stays put in Pebble Creek, FL. With the spring broken, there's no counterbalancing force in Pebble Creek. The door's weight pulls it downward the moment you release it in Pebble Creek, FL. If you raise it manually and let go, it will drop in Pebble Creek. A 200-pound door dropping from the halfway open position generates significant force in Pebble Creek, FL.
The opener motor is rated for a specific torque output that's designed to move a counterbalanced door in Pebble Creek, FL. Running the opener against the full door weight without spring assistance puts the motor in an overload condition in Pebble Creek. The motor draws more current than its rated load in Pebble Creek, FL. It runs hotter than its designed operating temperature in Pebble Creek. 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 Pebble Creek, FL. In some cases the force limit trips and stops the motor before damage occurs in Pebble Creek. In others, the drive gear strips and the opener requires repair alongside the spring replacement in Pebble Creek, 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 Pebble Creek. It's not in Pebble Creek, FL. The cables are under significantly elevated tension carrying the full door weight in Pebble Creek. 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 Pebble Creek, FL. If a cable releases or a bottom bracket fails under the elevated load, the door drops completely in Pebble Creek.
EZ Open's technician arrives with springs covering the common residential configurations in Pebble Creek, FL. On arrival, the door height, estimated weight, and cable drum size are confirmed to select the correct spring for the specific installation in Pebble Creek.
Before any repair begins, EZ Open performs a complete system assessment in Pebble Creek. Both cables in Pebble Creek, FL. Both drums in Pebble Creek. Both bottom brackets in Pebble Creek, FL. All rollers in Pebble Creek. Track condition in Pebble Creek, FL. And the surviving spring on a two-spring system in Pebble Creek. The assessment identifies any secondary damage the spring failure produced in Pebble Creek, FL.
The broken spring pieces are removed from the shaft using correct procedures in Pebble Creek, 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 Pebble Creek. Full unwinding is confirmed before the spring is released from the shaft in Pebble Creek, FL.
The replacement spring is installed on the shaft with the winding cone positioned correctly in Pebble Creek, FL. The set screws are started but not fully tightened until after winding is complete in Pebble Creek.
The spring is wound to the calculated turn count for the specific door height and cable drum size using professional winding bars in Pebble Creek. The set screws are tightened to the correct specification in Pebble Creek, FL. The cables are reattached to the drums with correct tension in Pebble Creek. The opener is disconnected and the door is manually lifted to the halfway position in Pebble Creek, FL. The door is released and observed in Pebble Creek. Correct balance confirmed in Pebble Creek, FL. Opener reconnected and full cycle test completed in Pebble Creek.
Both springs were installed at the same time and have completed the same number of cycles in Pebble Creek, FL. Metal fatigue is a function of the number of cycles and the stress per cycle in Pebble Creek. Both springs have experienced identical cycle counts under identical stress conditions in Pebble Creek, FL. The spring that broke reached its individual fatigue threshold first due to microscopic variations in wire structure in Pebble Creek. The other spring has reached essentially the same point in its fatigue progression in Pebble Creek, FL.
Replacing both springs during today's visit costs approximately $50 to $150 more than replacing only the broken spring in Pebble Creek, 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 Pebble Creek. The total of two separate repairs is consistently higher than the cost of replacing both during the original visit in Pebble Creek, 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 Pebble Creek, FL. In this specific situation, replacing only the broken spring with a matching specification is the correct choice in Pebble Creek. EZ Open assesses the surviving spring's age and specification and advises accordingly in Pebble Creek, FL.
EZ Open recommends replacing both springs when both are at the same fatigue progression in Pebble Creek, FL.
