Fort Myers' Trusted Spring Replacement Specialists
Garage door springs are under enormous tension — they bear the full weight of your door every time it moves. When a spring breaks, the door becomes inoperable and potentially dangerous. Low Cost Garage Door Repair technicians are trained to handle both torsion springs and extension springs safely and quickly.
We service all Fort Myers neighborhoods — Downtown, Gateway, South Fort Myers, Cypress Lake, McGregor, and beyond. Our trucks are stocked with springs in every common size so we rarely have to make a second trip.
Call for Same-Day ServiceTorsion Springs
Mounted above the door on a horizontal shaft. Found on most modern residential doors. Provide balanced lifting and typically last 10,000–20,000 cycles.
Extension Springs
Run along the horizontal tracks on each side of the door. Common on older and lighter single-car doors. Must always include safety cables to prevent injury if they snap.
Never DIY a Spring Replacement
Garage door springs store hundreds of pounds of tension. A mistake during replacement can cause serious injury or death. Always call a licensed technician — it is not worth the risk.

Spring Replacement FAQs — Fort Myers
How much does garage door spring replacement cost in Fort Myers?
Most standard spring replacements in Fort Myers range from $150 to $300 depending on spring type (torsion vs. extension), door size, and whether both springs need replacing. We provide a free estimate before starting any work.
How long does a spring replacement take?
The average job takes 45–90 minutes. Our technicians arrive stocked with the most common spring sizes so there is rarely a need to order parts.
Should I replace both springs at the same time?
Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Springs are sold and installed in pairs. If one has broken, the other is close to the end of its lifespan. Replacing both at once saves a second service call and keeps the door balanced.
Is it safe to use my garage door with a broken spring?
No. A garage door without a working spring relies entirely on the opener motor, which is not designed for that load. Continued use can damage the opener, bend the tracks, and create a serious safety hazard. Stop using the door and call us immediately.
Do you offer emergency spring repair in Fort Myers?
Yes. We are available 24/7 for emergency calls throughout Fort Myers and the greater Lee County area. Call (239) 438-3577 any time.
What type of spring does my door use?
Most modern residential doors in Fort Myers use torsion springs mounted above the door on a horizontal shaft. Older doors and lighter single-car doors may use extension springs that run along the horizontal tracks. Our technicians identify the correct type on arrival.
