Matched spring pairs sized to the door, in corrosion resistant finish, because both springs have lived the same salt seasons and fail on the same clock.
A broken spring in Norwalk announces itself the usual way, a bang from the garage and a door that will not lift, and the coastal footnote is that its twin is usually close behind, because both springs have lived the same salt seasons. Springs are replaced in matched pairs, sized to the door's weight and height, not to whatever is on the truck. Do not run the opener against a broken spring: the opener is a guide, not a hoist, and forcing it converts a spring job into a spring and opener job.
A broken spring is a same day call when the car is trapped or the door is stuck open, and a do not use it call either way. Never try to wind or unwind a torsion spring with improvised tools: the spring holds enough stored energy to break bones, and this is the one job in the garage that injures DIYers every year.
