The builder's installation seemed very strange to me.

I had 4 spring double garage door very heavy due to siding over clap board door. no way I was going to replace all those springs when one broke. It’s’ the wind tension that balances the door. Naturally if one spring has more tension it going to go first. Reason both are replaced so they don’t get call back when old broken spring breaks has nothing to do with cycles of news spring. They break on cycle time frame. Naturally old springs break before newer springs it all things are same.
