Heavy door
A spring problem changes the weight of the whole door.
Broken torsion springs, extension springs, heavy doors, and loud snaps.
The opener is not built to lift the door without spring help. If the spring failed, repeated button presses can turn one repair into two.

Why this problem shows up here
Why springs fail
- Springs wear by cycle count, not by luck.
- Hot garages and dragging doors can reveal a spring already near failure.
- Cables, pulleys, bearings, and drums can be stressed when the spring system is weak.
Do not lift or wind it
- Do not try to wind, stretch, or clamp the spring.
- Do not make the opener lift a heavy door.
- Keep clear of cables, drums, pulleys, and the bottom edge.
Spring system checks
- Spring type, door weight, cable condition, drums or pulleys, bearings, and balance.
- Whether one spring or both springs should be addressed.
- Hand balance before the opener is reconnected.
