Tension is off the external spring when the door is open on these slab doors. When these things break, they shoot off. Newerish ones ran a wire through the middle as a safety to catch flying spring parts. Usually back a truck in the hole with the door open. Starting unhooking everything so can drop the door on top of the ladder rack & drive it out. Heavy doors.
