Spring tension checked and adjusted. Cables inspected full-length for fraying, especially at the drum and bottom bracket. Rollers and hinges checked and lubricated. Tracks aligned. Opener force and travel limits reset. Sensors and auto-reverse tested.
That last one matters — auto-reverse is what stops a closing door on something in its path, and it drifts out of adjustment.

If a property sits empty, ask whoever checks it to run the door up and down occasionally. It does more good than any amount of lubricant.
Annually is the general advice. Within a couple of kilometres of the beach, every six to nine months is more realistic. Up on the range, the interval is driven by damp in the opener rather than salt in the cables — but it's no less frequent.

Where this job typically sits. Access is usually a bigger cost driver than size.
| Job | Indicative price | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Service call / diagnosis | $90 – $180 | Callout and assessment, usually credited against the repair. |
| Torsion spring replacement | $250 – $600 | Per spring. Two-spring doors are normally done as a pair. |

| Motor / opener repair | $150 – $450 | Boards, capacitors and gear sets, where parts still exist. |
| New opener supplied and fitted | $450 – $1,200 | Depends on drive type and whether app control is wanted. |
| Roller door repair | $180 – $600 | Curtain, drum, spring or guide work. |
| Off-track / re-alignment | $150 – $400 | Usually a cable failure underneath it. |
| Panel or section replacement | $300 – $900+ | Per panel. Colour-matching a sun-faded door is the variable. |
| Remote or keypad | $60 – $220 | Coding a new handset is often a few minutes. |
| Full door replacement | $1,400 – $4,000+ | Into an existing opening. Sectional, roller or tilt. |

Curtain, drum, spring and guide work on residential and commercial roller doors.
Doors hanging crooked in the opening, and the cable failures behind them.
Remotes that have stopped, extra handsets, and keypad entry.
