Fixed the Same Visit
Most repairs are done in one trip. If a part needs sourcing, we tell you that upfront instead of guessing.
How Long You Are Without the Door
Most houses in North Myrtle Beach went up around 1997, which puts a lot of garages on 16x7 steel raised-panel doors running on standard torsion springs mounted on a single center shaft - not the older side-mounted setups you find in some of the neighborhoods closer to Myrtle Beach. That matters for how fast a fix goes: torsion hardware from this era is common, so a broken spring or a snapped cable is usually a same-visit job once we're on site with the door open in front of us. We come out of Myrtle Beach, 13 miles south, so factor that drive into when you call rather than assuming a truck is parked around the corner.
A door stuck open overnight isn't ideal here - the climate is mild with some freeze risk, so it's not the frozen-track problem you'd get further north, but a wide-open garage still means humidity, salt air, and whatever gets in gets in. If the opener's dead and the door won't budge by hand either, that's usually a broken spring, not the opener itself, and it's worth saying so on the phone before we drive out.
What You Pay
We don't have a posted price list for this page, and I'm not going to make one up. What drives the number is the same thing everywhere: spring size and door weight, whether it's a single torsion spring or a pair, and whether the cable or the drum went with it.
Houses built around 1997 in this area tend to run 16x7 double doors, which need a heavier spring than the single-car doors on older stock, so a double-door spring job usually costs more than a single. If you want an actual number, ask when you call - we can usually quote it once we know the door size and what broke.
Getting It Booked In
When you call, have the door size ready - single or double - and whether the opener still runs even though the door won't move. That second detail tells us right away if we're looking at a spring or a track problem instead of an electrical one.
Since the truck comes from Myrtle Beach, 13 miles away, we won't promise a same-hour arrival on this page - that's a scheduling conversation, not something to bake into a town page. What we can tell you up front is that a torsion spring job on a standard 1990s-built door doesn't usually need a return trip; the parts for this era of door are common stock, not special order.
What Is on the Truck
For the doors typical of North Myrtle Beach's build era - steel raised-panel, torsion spring, chain or belt drive openers from the 1990s and 2000s upgrade cycle - the stock parts we carry cover torsion springs in the common sizes, standard-lift cables, rollers, and center bearing plates. What doesn't always come standard on the truck is a spring built for an unusually heavy insulated door or a wood carriage-style door someone added later; those sometimes mean a second trip once we've measured the shaft and drum on site. That's the honest limit - most of the housing stock here is standard enough that we carry what it needs, but we're not going to pretend every door in a house built in 1997 is identical.
Can You Do This Yourself
A torsion spring under tension on a 16x7 door is not a DIY repair - the spring is wound tight enough to do real damage if the winding bars slip, and that's true whether the door is five years old or twenty-five. What you can safely check yourself: whether the opener has power, whether the manual release cord is pulled (which disconnects the opener from the door entirely), and whether anything is visibly blocking the track.
If the door won't move by hand with the opener disconnected, that's spring or cable, and it's a call, not a project. Replacing rollers on an unbroken door is about the only part of this job most owners can reasonably do themselves.

Why North Myrtle Beach Calls Us
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the door size matter so much for the repair?
Houses built around North Myrtle Beach's 1997 median tend to have wider 16x7 double garage doors rather than single-car doors, and a double door needs a heavier torsion spring or a pair of springs instead of one. That changes both the part and the labor, so it's one of the first things worth knowing before you call.
Does the mild coastal climate affect the door hardware here?
The climate here is mild with only some freeze risk, so you're not dealing with the ice-locked tracks that colder regions get. Salt air and humidity are the bigger long-term wear factor on hardware and fasteners, more than temperature swings.
How far out is North Myrtle Beach from your shop?
We work out of Myrtle Beach, about 13 miles south. There's no separate depot in North Myrtle Beach, so plan the call around that drive rather than expecting an immediate arrival.
Is a broken spring the reason the opener won't lift the door?
Usually, yes. If the opener motor runs but the door doesn't move, or won't budge even by hand, a broken torsion spring is the most common cause on doors from this era, not a failed motor.
