The counterbalance job
As the door closes, the spring system stores energy. As the door opens, that energy helps offset the door's weight. Cables, drums, pulleys, and related hardware transfer that force depending on the spring system.
What happens when a spring breaks
The door can become suddenly heavy, the opener may strain, and lift cables may lose normal tension. A visible spring gap is a common clue on torsion systems.
