What a garage door spring replacement actually fixes

The spring — a torsion bar mounted above the door, or a pair of extension springs run along the tracks on older installs — carries almost all the weight of the door itself. The opener only guides it along that path. Once the spring breaks or winds down, the door is dead weight, and no adjustment to the opener changes that. The only fix is putting a correctly matched spring back in, sized to the door's actual weight and mounting.
