A torsion spring that's worn out, unwound, or wound to the wrong tension is what makes a garage door feel too heavy for the opener or refuse to sit level in the tracks. Garage door torsion spring repair fixes that by resetting or replacing the spring so the door's weight is properly counterbalanced again, not by adjusting the opener.

What garage door torsion spring repair actually fixes

The torsion bar mounted above the door does the lifting; the opener only guides a door the spring has already balanced. When that spring loses tension, cracks, or snaps outright, the door either won't lift past a foot or two, drops fast on the way down, or leans to one side as it travels. None of that is an opener problem, and none of it gets better on its own — it takes resetting or replacing the spring to bring the door back to level.
