That bang was the spring — leave the door down — across Evans, Martinez, Grovetown, Augusta, North Augusta, Aiken, Hephzibah.
Springs do the lifting; the opener only steers. When one lets go it cracks like a rifle shot in the garage, and from that second the door is several hundred pounds of dead weight no opener should fight and no back should lift. Leave it down and call — spring failures jump our queue, and our 20-60 minute arrival matters most on exactly these mornings.
We weigh the actual door rather than trusting a chart — insulated and reinforced doors run heavier than they look — then install a matched, coated pair wound to that number. Drums, bearings, and cables get inspected while the shaft is open, because a violent break rarely travels alone.
Georgia humidity keeps spring steel honest — moisture works the coil surface all year, pollen season packs the shaft hardware, and cold snaps after warm spells are exactly when tired springs let go. Coated, high-cycle pairs cost little more and push retirement out where it belongs; on this side of the river they're our standard, not our upsell.
