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

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

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