Why It Happens Here
Conway sits 13 miles inland from our shop in Myrtle Beach, and that drive shapes how a call here actually goes. It's a straight run, not a detour through beach traffic, so a truck heading to Conway isn't fighting the same congestion as one headed to the boardwalk side of the service area - but it's still real windshield time before a wrench touches your door.
The houses themselves tell you what usually fails. Most of Conway went up in the mid-1990s, right in step with the broader area's 1986-2006 building boom. That means a lot of original torsion springs and openers pushing past their rated cycle count, and steel hardware that's been through three decades of this region's mild-with-occasional-freeze swings.
Springs don't like temperature swings any more than they like age - the metal fatigues faster when it's expanding and contracting instead of sitting at one steady temp. A door that's opened fine for twenty years can let go on the one morning it happens to be forty degrees.
How Long You Are Without the Door
We don't have a branch in Conway - every job here is a dispatch from Myrtle Beach, 13 miles out. That's not a long haul, but it's not zero either, and it means the honest answer to "how fast can you get here" depends on where the truck already is when you call, not on a fixed number we can promise you in writing.
What we can tell you is that a stuck door in Conway doesn't sit any longer than the drive itself takes, plus whatever's ahead of you on the schedule that day. If your car is trapped inside and you need it out for work, say so on the call - that changes how a job gets slotted, not how far the truck has to travel.
The Complications
A door built around 1994 usually means a single opener running a two-car door on a torsion spring sized for the original panel weight - fine until someone swaps in a heavier insulated door later and the spring is still the old one, quietly overworked. We see that mismatch a lot in houses from this era.
Safety sensors are another one. Photo-eye sensors became standard well after 1994, so some original Conway installs may have been retrofitted at some point, or not - and a sensor that's been bumped out of alignment by a bike or a garbage can will stop the door from closing at all, which looks like a broken opener but isn't.
We'll also be straight with you here: if the track is bent badly enough, or the door itself is warped from age, a spring or cable fix isn't going to solve the real problem, and we'll tell you that instead of patching around it.
What You Are Seeing
The door won't budge and there's a loud bang from earlier - that's usually a torsion spring letting go. The opener runs, the light comes on, but the door doesn't move - check the cable at the bottom bracket before anything else. The door reverses right before it closes - that's almost always a sensor alignment issue, not a motor problem.
One corner of the door sags lower than the other - a cable's likely off the drum on that side. None of these need you to force the door by hand; forcing it usually turns a repair into a replacement.
Getting It Booked In
Tell us what you're seeing - bang and dead stop, or opener running with no movement, or door reversing on close - and roughly when it happened. That helps us bring the right spring size and cable length instead of guessing on-site.
Because every Conway call is a drive out from Myrtle Beach, having your address and a good phone number ready when you call saves a callback. See our Conway area page for what we cover nearby, or check the full emergency repair page for other Myrtle Beach area service details.
What Is on the Truck
Standard torsion spring sizes for the door weights common to 1990s builder-grade installs, extension springs, cable, and the usual roller and hinge stock - that covers most of what a Conway call turns out to be. What we don't always have on the truck is an oddball spring wound for a heavier custom door someone installed later, or an opener part specific to a brand that's since been discontinued. If that's the situation, we'll say so on-site and get the right part ordered rather than force a fix that won't hold.

Why Conway Calls Us
Frequently Asked Questions
How far out is Conway from your shop, and does that affect the call?
Conway is about 13 miles from our Myrtle Beach base. It's a straightforward drive, but every job here is a dispatch, not a walk from a local branch, so the timing of your call relative to the day's schedule matters more than a fixed promise would.
Why did my spring snap with no warning?
Most Conway homes date to around 1994, putting original torsion springs well past three decades of cycles. Combine that with this area's mild-but-not-freeze-proof winters, and the metal fatigues faster than owners expect, especially on doors that get heavy daily use.
Can you fix a door that reverses right before closing?
Usually, yes, and it's often simpler than owners think - a misaligned photo-eye sensor, not a broken motor. We check that first before touching springs or cables.
Do you keep a truck stationed in Conway?
No. We run out of Myrtle Beach and cover Conway as part of that service area. There's no local depot here, so response depends on the day's schedule and where the truck already is.
