More about this in Mission Bend
A broken garage door extension spring snaps under the same stretched tension that lifts the door, and unlike a torsion spring's single loud bang, an extension spring failure often shows up as the door suddenly dropping unevenly or refusing to lift past a certain point.

Call (346) 220-4724 before anyone tries to lift the door by hand.
What a broken garage door extension spring looks like
The door usually still opens partway with the opener straining, since the working spring on the other side is fighting the load alone. A door that lifts crooked, higher on one side, is the clearest sign one extension spring has let go while the other hasn't.
A broken garage door extension spring and the safety cable
A properly installed safety cable keeps a broken spring from traveling loose when it snaps. If the spring failed and there's no cable in place, that's the first thing that gets corrected during the replacement, not just an afterthought.
Why a broken garage door extension spring means replacing the pair
Extension springs on either side of the door carry matched years of stretching and releasing. Once one has actually broken, the other has absorbed the same cycles and is usually close to the same point in its service life. Another page here goes into broken garage door cable in Mission Bend, TX in the same detail.
Why a broken garage door extension spring comes up across Mission Bend
Mission Bend began development in the early 1980s and grew rapidly through the 1990s, with single-family homes across its subdivisions mostly dating from that same 1970s-to-1990s window and a median build year of 1986. Extension spring setups were more common on garage doors built in the earlier part of that era, before torsion systems became the standard choice.
That's why a broken garage door extension spring still turns up regularly in Mission Bend's older original sections.
