You usually don't forget the sound of a spring letting go. In Marietta, GA, we hear it described the same way over and over: one sharp bang, then a door that suddenly feels like it gained 200 pounds.

Garage door springs carry the door's weight. When one fails, the opener is no longer doing normal work; it is trying to lift a heavy, unbalanced door. If you are in Marietta, GA, call the Genie and describe the symptom. We route the call around the actual problem, not a generic appointment script.
Safety warning: Do not force a garage door with a broken spring, snapped cable, or off-track section. Garage doors are heavy and can be dangerous when the counterbalance system fails.
If the door feels extremely heavy or you heard a bang, choose spring repair first. If the opener hums but the door barely moves, still treat the spring as the lead suspect before replacing the motor. The trade-off is safety: spring work costs more than a reset, but it prevents a damaged opener from lifting an unbalanced door.
Marietta's 1990s and 2000s subdivisions create a steady wave of original spring and opener failures, especially around East Cobb, West Cobb, Whitlock, and Sandy Plains homes.
Spring cycle rating matters when the garage is the main entrance. A 10,000-cycle spring may be enough for light use, while 15,000- to 20,000-cycle springs make more sense when the door opens four or more times a day.
For most homes, basic torsion spring replacement is a same-visit repair; high-cycle upgrades commonly target 15,000 to 20,000 cycles instead of the roughly 10,000 cycles used by many standard springs.
These are the signs that point to a real service call instead of a quick reset:
