How a garage door spring wears out on a one-story house
A torsion spring above the door carries the full weight of the door on every cycle, while the opener only guides a door the spring has already balanced. Spring Valley Village's original zoning ordinance, adopted April 2, 1956 by a Zoning Commission established that January, kept the entire city to single-family, one-story construction, and two-story homes weren't allowed until a 1981 zoning change. A spring on one of those original one-story garages has been carrying a full door's weight since long before most manufacturers' cycle ratings were designed to last this long.
Bigger doors, bigger springs
Estimated median home value in Spring Valley Village runs higher than 99% of Texas neighborhoods, and the housing stock leans toward large four- and five-bedroom houses. Bigger houses in this city tend to carry bigger two-car garage doors, and a wider door puts more strain on a torsion spring than a single-bay door does, which shortens the number of years a given spring holds up under daily use.

A tight, mostly full city of garage doors
There were 1,478 housing units in Spring Valley Village at the 2020 census, with only 3.9% sitting vacant. In a city this small and this fully occupied, almost every one of those garage doors gets opened and closed daily rather than sitting idle, and that steady cycle count is exactly what wears a torsion spring down to the point where it lets go.
Why a broken garage door spring means stop pressing the button
Once a spring is gone, the opener is lifting the door's full weight alone on every press. That strain burns out gears and motors fast on the larger doors common in this city, turning a spring repair into a spring-and-opener repair. If a bang just came from the garage, leave the button alone until someone has looked at it.
