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

The technician arrives with what's needed in Pupukea, HI.
The opener cannot lift a door that has lost its spring counterbalancing force in Pupukea, HI. Running the opener against the full door weight strains the motor, the drive gear, and the trolley mechanism in Pupukea. In the best case, the opener's force limit trips and the motor stops before damage occurs in Pupukea, HI. In the worst case, the motor continues to run against the overload and the drive gear strips or the motor windings burn out in Pupukea. Do not run the opener with a broken spring in Pupukea, HI. And do not try to manually lift the door in Pupukea. A door without spring counterbalancing weighs its full 150 to 400 pounds with no mechanical assistance in Pupukea, HI. It will not hold a raised position without being held in Pupukea.
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 Pupukea.

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