Default garage door lift cable loosens as door reaches fully open height

One of my garage door tension springs broke and I replaced both springs
with a set that had previously been used in a friend's garage for only 5
years. We installed, them, wound them so that the door was balanced, but
then when raising the door by hand to check it's operation manually, one
of the lift cables loosens as the door reaches the full open height.
However the other lift cable remains tight and working properly? We've
tried adjusting the tension in the spring on that side of the door to no
avail? Can you tell me what might be causing this lift cable to loosen as
the door reaches full open height so we can fix it? I will call a
professional at last resort, but we've handled everything other than this
lift cable staying tight issue so far and would like to finish the job?
Thanks, Jeff
