More about this in Webster

A garage door extension spring replacement is what a door needs when one of the two stretched springs running along the horizontal tracks has snapped, sagged, or stretched out enough that the door is heavy, crooked, or won't stay up on its own. Extension springs don't get repaired — a worn or broken one gets swapped for a matched pair, sized to the door's actual weight.

Why a garage door extension spring replacement can't wait on just one side

Extension springs work in pairs, one on each track, and they stretch and wear at close to the same rate since they're doing the same job. When one lets go, the other is usually close behind it, worn from carrying uneven strain while its partner was already weak. That's why a garage door extension spring replacement almost always means both springs come out together rather than patching the one that already failed.

Webster's homes don't share one build era. Webdale/Old Townsite, the city's oldest subdivision, traces back to the 1930s and still fills in with small infill lots today, while Green Acres has had homes going up continuously since the 1960s. With a median Webster home built around 1991, the extension springs on any given street could be original to a 1930s lot, a 1960s build, or something put in during a much later renovation — which is why the spring pulled off one Webster door often doesn't match the one pulled off the house two doors down.
