What a garage door torsion spring repair actually corrects

The torsion bar above the door carries a wound spring that does nearly all the lifting work; the opener only guides a door the spring has already balanced. Once that coil cracks or loses its wind, the door's full weight lands on the opener and on whoever tries to lift it by hand. Garage door torsion spring repair replaces the spring itself and resets the balance so the door travels the way it's supposed to — there's no adjustment that fixes a coil that's already given out.
