What a garage door torsion spring replacement actually fixes

The torsion spring sits on a bar above the closed door and does the real work of lifting it — the opener just guides a door the spring has already balanced. Once that spring snaps or loses its wind, the opener is trying to hoist the full weight of the door on a motor that was never built for that job, which is why the door stalls, drops fast, or won't budge at all. Replacing the spring, not adjusting it, is the only thing that restores normal lifting.
