What moves the cost of a garage door service
Door type and size
A single roller door has one curtain, one spring and two guides to go through. A double sectional door has eight to ten rollers, as many hinges, two cables and two springs, so the same service takes longer on it.
How long since the last one
A door serviced yearly needs adjusting and lubricating. A door that has gone five or ten years without attention needs the sand dug out of its tracks, every bolt checked and more re-tensioning, and that shows in the time.
What the service finds
Adjusting and lubricating is the service. Worn rollers, a split seal, a misaligned sensor or a spring near the end of its life are quoted separately on the day, and most are fitted in the same visit because the parts travel on the van.
Home or commercial site
Commercial roller doors and shutters are bigger, cycle far more often and usually come in multiples. They are priced per door for the site rather than from the residential figure.
Service or inspection
A safety inspection is a look and a written report, $130, useful before a sale or for a rental. A service is the inspection plus the adjusting, tensioning and lubricating that fixes what it finds.
Time of day
Servicing is daytime work, booked any day of the year. An after-hours visit is a repair call, priced before we attend, and still with no call-out fee.
Worked examples
Yearly service on a five-year-old sectional door
Balance test, springs re-tensioned, rollers and hinges lubricated, tracks cleared, opener force and auto-reverse checked, beams tested. Nothing worn, so the visit is the $160 and the door is booked for next year.
Roller door in Scarborough, never serviced, grinding on every cycle
The service plus what it finds: the guides packed with sand, the curtain edges scraping and the bottom seal perished. New seals at $220–$450 are quoted on the spot and fitted the same visit, on top of the $160 service.
Inspection before a rental changes tenants
A $130 safety inspection with a written report covering the door, springs, cables, opener and safety beams. If it turns up adjustments worth making, the visit can become a full service on the day.
Service finds a spring at the end of its life
The door is heavy on the release cord and the spring shows the gap that comes before a break. A planned replacement at $260–$340 is quoted alongside the $160 service, instead of a jammed door and a car stuck inside some Sunday night.
Service, repair, or a new door?
A service keeps a working door working. A repair is for the part that has already failed, and a new door at $2,200–$5,500 is for a door that has had its life. The service visit is where we tell you honestly which of the three yours is.
Repair is usually better when
- The door runs but is noisy, heavy or slow: that is a service, and most of the noise goes with it
- One part has failed on a sound door: a spring, cable, roller, sensor or the opener, each quoted on its own
- The panels or curtain are straight and the steel is sound
- You want the door quieter and safer without changing it
Replacement may be better when
- Rust has gone through the bottom rail or panels, or the roller curtain has been folded
- Panels are twisted from running off the tracks and no longer seal
- Parts for the make have dried up, so each service finds something nobody can replace
- It has needed three or four repairs in a couple of years

Frequently Asked Questions
A full garage door service is from $160 plus parts, GST included, anywhere in the Perth metro area, and a safety inspection with a written report is $130. The $160 covers the visit, the balance test, re-tensioning, lubrication, track clearing and the opener's safety checks. Only parts found worn on the day add to it, and each is quoted before it is fitted.
The opener is disconnected and the door balance-tested by hand; the springs are re-tensioned to carry its weight; hinges, rollers, bearings and springs are lubricated with a dry-film spray; cables and drums are checked for fraying and rust; bolts and brackets are tightened; sand is cleared from the tracks or guides; and the opener's force limits, auto-reverse and safety beams are tested. Our service page lists every step.
Once a year suits most Perth homes. Make it twice a year on the coast, where salt gets into the springs and cables, on a door that is the main way in and out of the house, and on commercial doors that cycle all day. A new door or opener is due its first service about a year after it goes in. Our guide to service intervals explains the reasoning and what you can check yourself in between.
Against the price of the repairs it heads off, yes. A service is from $160; a spring that lets go is $260–$340 to replace, a snapped cable $260–$520, and a door that drops off its tracks $380–$750, usually at the least convenient hour. A serviced door also works its opener less, and openers on tired doors are the ones that burn out early.
A safety inspection is $130, GST included. It is a check of the door, springs, cables, drums, rollers, opener and safety beams with a written report, and no adjustments. It suits a pre-sale check, a rental between tenants, or a door you want an honest opinion on before deciding anything. If it turns up adjustments worth making, it can become a full service on the same visit.
No. There is no call-out fee at any hour, anywhere in Perth, and quoting is free. For a service you pay the service figure plus any parts you agree to on the day, and nothing else.
Fitting a motor to a manual door is $750–$1,150, GST included, supplied, fitted and programmed with remotes, provided the door is in good order. A roller door takes a drum-mounted motor and loses its manual lock; a tilt or sectional door takes a rail drive. We balance the door first, because a motor fitted to a heavy door wears out early. Our motor replacement cost guide has the detail and worked examples.
Most repairs land between $220 and $750, GST included: a single spring $260–$340, a cable $260–$520, an opener repair $250–$480, a door back on its tracks $380–$750. Smaller items are rollers and hinges at $35 each plus one $150 labour charge, and a safety sensor pair at $160–$320. Our repair cost guide prices each job, and anything found on a service is quoted before it is fitted.
