More about this in Thompsons

A broken garage door spring takes away the door's counterbalance in an instant. One second the torsion bar overhead is carrying most of the door's weight; the next, a snapped or fully unwound spring has left that weight entirely on the opener motor, which was only ever built to guide the door, not lift it.

Why a garage door won't lift once the spring is gone

Above nearly every door in Thompsons sits a torsion bar doing the actual lifting, with the opener there only to guide a door the spring has already balanced. Take the spring out of that equation and the motor is trying to hoist the door's full weight on its own, which is exactly why the door drops, stalls partway, or won't move an inch the moment a spring fails.

Garage door spring that snapped in Thompsons, TX: replacing a torsion spring

Thompsons has run its own mayor-council government since it was first incorporated in 1979, and the town's housing has stayed small and thin on the ground ever since — only 114 units counted at the 2000 census, spread across barely 18 homes per square mile. That low density means a spring failure here rarely fits a neighborhood-wide pattern the way it might in a subdivision built all at once; each house tends to be its own case.

What a garage door spring job in Thompsons actually replaces

There's no generic spring that fits every door — wire gauge, coil length and wind direction all have to match the specific door's weight, or the replacement leaves the door out of balance and hard on the opener within weeks. With Thompsons' homeownership rate running at 91.8%, most of the doors here belong to owners who plan to be dealing with the same door again if the first fix isn't right.

Thompsons doesn't have a big-box hardware store or a builder's supply yard inside town limits, and the nearest is a drive toward Richmond or Sugar Land. That's part of why a spring replacement here gets planned as a single visit that brings the right part rather than a guess-and-return job — there's no quick second trip to swap a spring that turns out to be the wrong size.

Don't keep pressing the button on a dead garage door spring

Repeated attempts just shift the strain onto the opener's gears instead of the spring. If a loud bang just came from the garage, leave the button alone and get the spring, cable and balance checked together first, since a broken garage door spring is best judged by someone who can actually see the coil.
