Measure your door...width first then height. You then go to your store and tell them you have for example an 8 x 7 overhead and need extension springs... or they may have a rack of springs labeled for the varying sizes of doors. Chances are if the door is very old the paint has worn off the spring and you will just have to measure the door.

They have a stripe of color painted on them (green, red, etc). Look on your broken one or on the other unbroken one if you need a replacement for one of those springs.
Each spring size supports a certain weight (marked on tag in store) but color is the easiest thing to check.
