Popping off when raised means springs need more tension. Height of door divided by circumstance of pulley and add a half turn. Should fix it
Without actually seeing the cables and springs, I would say the new springs are tighter than before and pull more weight slacking up the cables, it's very dangerous but if you put them on I'm sure you know that, but try to take some of the tension off the springs and then it will tighten the cables. Or you can adjust the door travel distance at the actual motor

to tell you how to fix this is tricky your limit switch is not working, if it is a liftmaster, or sears craftsman take the cover down, if it is a older allistar it is a dog limit on the chain, if a genie check the cherry switch in back of operator behind cover.
SOURCE: How do you replace the cable that holds the door open
There is a plastic plug where the cable goes into the door. Take a putty knife or flat screw driver. slide it in between to plug and door. Then pop the plug out. The plug it's self is what holds the cable to the door. Do the same on the unit end. I use a putty knife because it's easier to get behind the plug.

Hi Rylee
Thanks for using FixYa. As you have already replaced everything else so
the issue is with the door switch going bad and should be replaced however, if
that switch is fine then it is the control that is bad and should be replaced. Please
accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further
assistance.
Thanks

Try adjusting the door catch, this is the hook that comes out from the top of the machine and clips into the door switch when closed, it can be adjusted further out by loosening the screw. If not then you may need to replace the door switch. This is done by unscrewing th front panel and removing it. The switch is held on by 2 screws and 2 wires. Hope this helps.
