A broken garage door torsion spring stops the whole door, not just one side

The torsion bar above the door is doing nearly all the lifting; the opener only guides a door the spring has already balanced. Take that spring out of the equation and the opener motor is stuck trying to hoist the full weight of the door by itself, which is why the door drops fast, stalls partway up, or won't budge the moment the coil lets go.

What a torsion spring job checks beyond the coil itself, on a door that's been through 3 to 8 feet of water

Torsion spring on the garage door snapped in Woodloch, TX: testing the door balance

Woodloch is a three-road town — South Woodloch Street, North Woodloch Street, and Needham Road — and during Hurricane Harvey the San Jacinto River sent 3 to 8 feet of water through every home in town, with a full evacuation ordered and roughly 25 water rescues performed. Any torsion spring hardware still hanging above a door that took on that kind of water is worth checking for rust on the shaft, the bearing plates, and the center bracket before the new spring goes in, since corroded mounting hardware can strip or bind even when the spring itself is brand new. A related fault, Woodloch broken garage door spring help, has its own page.

Matching the coil on a garage door torsion spring in Woodloch

The replacement spring has to match the door's weight, the bar length, and the wind direction, or the door comes out of balance and starts working the opener too hard within weeks. That gets measured against the actual door in the garage, not pulled off a generic part number over the phone. A broken garage door torsion spring on one of Woodloch's older doors is more likely to need a full hardware check than a like-for-like swap.
