More about this in Kingwood

A broken garage door extension spring rarely fails alone

Extension springs stretch and relax with every open-and-close cycle, and the pulleys, cables, and end brackets around them take that same repeated load. When one spring lets go, the sudden slack usually yanks on the pulley and cable on that side hard enough to leave marks worth checking before a new spring goes on. Replacing the spring by itself and skipping that check is how a second failure shows up a few weeks later.

The door should sit until both springs and the cables around them are checked together.
