Question:

My garage door spring broke recently, so I had both springs replaced by a garage door company. They did a good job repairing my garage door, but they installed two new springs that aren’t the same length and size. Is that a problem?

Answer:

No. Two springs that aren’t the same length and size won’t affect the garage door’s performance and shouldn’t cause any problems with your garage door. In fact, some garage doors might even come this way from the manufacturer.
