Garage door torsion spring installation starts with what the door weighs

A torsion spring doesn't get chosen by looking at what came off the door — it gets sized against the door's actual weight, its width, and how many turns the shaft needs to wind to balance it. A single-car door and a heavier double-wide need different coils entirely, and a spring installed a size too light or too heavy leaves the opener straining or the door slamming down on its own.

ZIP 77086, which contains North Houston, has two distinct housing waves rather than one steady stretch of construction — 3,171 units went up in the 1970s and another 2,089 in the 2000s.

What a garage door torsion spring installation checks besides the coil

The spring itself is only part of the job. The cable drums it winds onto, the bearing plate the shaft turns in, and the cables running down to the bottom brackets all take load once the new spring is set, so a proper installation checks that hardware before calling the job finished rather than after something else fails a month later.
