Those are torsion springs, and yes, likely since one has failed, the other isn't far behind. Much easier to replace both at the same time.
That said, it's not usually considered a DIY project. They are under a LOT of stress and if you do something wrong, the energy can be released dangerously. I personally would recommend having a garage door person come out to replace them.
There are online tutorials if you feel comfortable doing it yourself. It's not complicated, but you do need to be careful, and get the correctly sized spring - they are usually color coded based on the strength.
Hi. I have a garage service door that leads out to a concrete slab that is higher than the garage floor. Needless to say, any rain and the garage floods. I am looking to replace the door and solve for the height difference. Any advice gratefully received! Thanks.
