Call EZ Open Garage Doors right now for same-day broken spring repair throughout Pink, OK in Pink. You heard the bang in Pink, OK. The door won't move or has dropped in Pink. Every second spent trying to operate the door instead of calling makes the situation more dangerous in Pink, OK. Call now in Pink.
Here is exactly what happened in Pink, OK. The torsion spring above your door had been accumulating metal fatigue cycle by cycle through every open and close in Pink. 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 Pink, OK. The rotational energy that was counterbalancing your door's weight transferred instantly through the shaft and disappeared in Pink. The door lost its counterbalancing force in that same instant in Pink, OK. If the door was moving when the spring broke, the side near the broken spring dropped faster than the other side in Pink. 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 Pink, OK. 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 Pink.

Broken spring repair is the single most frequent service call EZ Open responds to in Pink. Our service vehicles are specifically stocked for it in Pink, OK. Same-day repair is available throughout Pink in most cases in Pink, OK. The call gets a real person. The dispatch happens immediately in Pink. The technician arrives with what's needed in Pink, OK.
The opener cannot lift a door that has lost its spring counterbalancing force in Pink, OK. Running the opener against the full door weight strains the motor, the drive gear, and the trolley mechanism in Pink. In the best case, the opener's force limit trips and the motor stops before damage occurs in Pink, OK. In the worst case, the motor continues to run against the overload and the drive gear strips or the motor windings burn out in Pink. Do not run the opener with a broken spring in Pink, OK. And do not try to manually lift the door in Pink. A door without spring counterbalancing weighs its full 150 to 400 pounds with no mechanical assistance in Pink, OK. It will not hold a raised position without being held in Pink.
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 Pink.

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

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