How much does a garage door cost in Melbourne?
A new automatic roller door for a double garage in Melbourne typically costs $3,350 fitted, inside a band of $2,100–$4,725, while an automatic single roller door runs $1,250–$3,675. Sectional panel doors sit higher, at $2,625–$7,900 for a double. If the door is sound and only the opener has failed, a replacement motor is $420–$1,050. Melbourne housing is a mix of separate houses (67.8% of dwellings) and semi-detached homes and townhouses (16.2%, ABS 2021 Census), so quotes come in both single and double widths; measure your opening and check which row matches it. Prices cover supply, fitting and GST.

Roller vs sectional in Melbourne: a roller door is one curtain of steel that coils above the opening, the cheapest door to buy and install ($1,250–$3,675 single, $2,100–$4,725 double, with the motor). A sectional door is hinged panels on tracks along the ceiling, $2,425–$5,250 single and $2,625–$7,900 double, with more profiles and colours and a quieter run.
Replacement and repair: swapping an old door for new, with the old one removed, is $1,575–$5,800 for a single and $2,625–$8,400 for a double. A minor repair (rollers, cables, a door off its track) is $125–$420, a damaged panel $315–$945 each, and a new motor $420–$1,050 fitted.
What moves a garage door quote in Melbourne:
- Size: a double door is more steel and a stronger motor; non-standard heights or widths are made to order.
- Door type and finish: a plain roller door in a standard colour is the base; sectional profiles, timber-look finishes and insulation cost more.
- Motor: a basic opener is included in the installed bands above; a quiet belt-drive, battery backup or smartphone control is an upgrade.
- The opening: new tracks, a new lintel or an opening that is out of square add labour.
- Removal: taking away the old door and motor is a separate line when it is not a like-for-like swap.
Comparing budget garage doors in Melbourne? The low end of the single roller band is the floor for a new installed door; anything under it is usually door-only or second-hand.
Servicing a garage door, and single or double, in Melbourne
What a garage door service costs in Melbourne
An annual service or tune-up is $160–$370 in our Melbourne table, typically $210. If the service turns up worn springs, a pair of springs is $295–$580, and a minor repair is $125–$420.
A single or a double door in Melbourne
A double roller door is $2,100–$4,725 installed in our Melbourne table, against $1,250–$3,675 for a single, so at the typical prices the double costs $1,050 more. For sectional doors it is $2,625–$7,900 for a double against $2,425–$5,250 for a single, $950 more at the typical prices.
These answers use the prices in the table on this page.
What Affects Garage Doors Costs in Melbourne
Roller or sectional
A roller door coils into a drum above the opening and is the cheaper style: $1,250–$3,675 for an automatic single. A sectional door rises in hinged panels along tracks under the ceiling and costs $2,425–$5,250 for a single with a motor. Sectionals seal more closely at the edges and need no roll drum over the opening, which is what you pay the extra for.
Cold winters and an attached garage
July is the coldest month at the Melbourne Regional Office, with an average top of 13.5 °C and an overnight low of 6.0 °C (BOM averages), and the city sits in NCC climate zone 6. A plain steel door passes that cold straight into a garage that shares a wall with the house. An insulated sectional costs more, but it is the version worth pricing if the garage doubles as a gym, laundry or workshop.
When only the motor has died
Plenty of Melbourne searches ask about the opener rather than the door. A standard chain-drive replacement is $420–$1,050, typically $820, and a belt-drive unit is $580–$1,250. The belt version runs noticeably quieter, which is worth it where a bedroom sits above or beside the garage. A lost remote or a worn keypad costs $84–$230 to supply and program.
Springs, cables and tracks
Wear parts cost a small slice of a new door. A single spring is $190–$370 and a pair $295–$580; a frayed lift cable is $115–$420, and a door that has jumped its track is $105–$370 to set right. Springs carry the weight of the door under high tension, so leave them to a technician rather than trying the job yourself.
Repair or start again
One dented panel can usually be swapped on its own for $315–$945. When a door needs several panels, new springs and a motor all at once, add those up and set the total against a full replacement: $1,575–$5,800 for a single or $2,625–$8,400 for a double, opener included. Ask whether taking away the old door is part of that price.
Registration on bigger jobs
In Victoria a builder or tradesperson doing work worth more than $10,000 must be registered with the Building and Plumbing Commission (Consumer Affairs Victoria). The top of our double replacement band, $8,400, sits under that line, but a door fitted as part of a larger garage build or conversion can cross it, so on a job of that size ask for the registration number before work starts.
How to Save Money on Garage Door Cost in Melbourne
Melbourne roller door price list (2026)
Roller doors are Melbourne's most-quoted door type, so here's the roller door price list at a glance, drawn from the table above:
- New single roller door, automatic, installed: $1,250–$3,675 (typically $2,300)
- New double roller door, automatic, installed: $2,100–$4,725 (typically $3,350)
- Motor or opener upgrade on an existing roller door: $580–$1,250
- Spring pair replacement: $295–$580
- Annual roller door service: $160–$370
Roller door prices in Melbourne move mostly on width, motor quality and whether old-door removal is included — confirm the quote covers removal and disposal, or a new roller door can grow by a couple of hundred dollars on install day.
A roller door in Melbourne is priced as a whole job, not a sheet of steel: $1,250–$3,675 for a single automatic door installed, typically $2,300, and $2,100–$4,725 for a double, typically $3,350. These match the Melbourne price table above, and each row includes the motor on an automatic door. A garage roller door quote should read as one number for door, motor and fitting.
Width, drive and the old door move the price. A double needs a heavier curtain and a stronger spring, so it costs more than a single at every point in the range. Both rows are automatic doors, so the drive variation is a standard motor against a quiet or smart motor with a battery backup, which sits toward the high end of each row. Removal and disposal of the old door is rarely in the base price, so ask for it as its own line.
Roll-A-Door is the brand name most people use for a roller door, so that quote should land inside the same rows. Pick a roller door when headroom is tight or the garage is narrow; pick a sectional door, priced in the table above, when you want insulation or a wider opening. Get quotes from local installers on the same door width, and have each one state whether the motor and old-door removal are included.
- Single roller door (auto, installed): $1,250–$3,675 installed, typically $2,300
- Double roller door (auto, installed): $2,100–$4,725 installed, typically $3,350
Industrial roller door prices
Industrial roller doors — warehouse, factory and loading-dock shutters — are a different product class to residential rollers: bigger curtains, three-phase motors and compliance requirements push prices well past the domestic ranges above. For those, see the commercial garage door cost guide.
A Craigieburn homeowner needed a double roller garage door removed and replaced. Estimated at $2,100–$3,350.

Garage Motor Cost in Melbourne: Garage Door Motor Prices
A garage door motor in Melbourne costs $420–$1,050 installed, typically $820, for a standard replacement opener on an existing door. A quiet belt-drive upgrade runs $580–$1,250, typically $840. These match the Melbourne price table above, and both rows assume the door itself is sound.
What moves the price is the drive type and the door weight. A chain-drive opener is the cheapest and the loudest; a belt-drive costs more and is the one to pick when a bedroom sits above or beside the garage. A double or heavy sectional door needs a higher-torque unit, which is where the top of each range comes from. Remotes, a wall button and a battery backup are usually inside the typical figure but not always, so check the quote lists them.
Pick a garage motor replacement when the door runs freely by hand but will not lift on its own, or when the remote and the safety reverse no longer work. If the door is bent, the springs have gone or the tracks are worn, a new door from the rows above is the better spend. Get a quote that names the motor brand, the drive type and the warranty, and ask whether the old unit is removed.
- Garage door motor / opener: $420–$1,050 installed, typically $820
- Motor upgrade (belt-drive quiet): $580–$1,250 installed, typically $840
Garage door replacement cost in Melbourne (2026): full door, panels and springs
Replacing a garage door in Melbourne costs $1,575–$5,800 for a single door with a new motor (typically $2,950). By door type, a single roller door is $1,250–$3,675 installed, a single sectional $2,425–$5,250, a double roller $2,100–$4,725 and a double sectional $2,625–$7,900. Most jobs quoted as a "replacement" are smaller: a damaged panel is $315–$945 and a pair of springs $295–$580. The bands are the Melbourne table on this page, GST inclusive.
| Job | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full door replacement, single (with motor) | $1,575 | $2,950 | $5,800 |
| Single roller door (auto, installed) | $1,250 | $2,300 | $3,675 |
| Single sectional door, with motor | $2,425 | $3,200 | $5,250 |
| Double roller door (auto, installed) | $2,100 | $3,350 | $4,725 |
| Double sectional door, with motor | $2,625 | $4,150 | $7,900 |
| Panel replacement (per panel) | $315 | $525 | $945 |
| Spring replacement (pair) | $295 | $420 | $580 |
What moves the quote:
- Roller or sectional: a sectional door costs more than a roller door of the same width and needs ceiling tracks; a roller door suits a low-headroom garage.
- What stays: sound tracks, motor and frame can usually be kept, which is where a replacement quote drops; a motor that is more than ten years old is often replaced with the door.
- Melbourne weather and age: a faded, dented or rusting door on an older home is the common trigger; a repair quote first tells you whether the door is worth keeping.
- Removal and disposal: taking the old door down and away is usually a separate line; ask for it.
Before you buy a new door, get a repair quote for the part that failed: a panel, spring or cable job is a fraction of a replacement. For replacement quotes in Melbourne that compare, ask for the door model, the motor model, the finish, and whether removal of the old door and any track or frame work is included.
