Garage Door Costs by Type
Garage door pricing depends on the door type, material, size, and whether you need a motor. Here's what the main options cost:
| Door Type | Single (supply + install) | Double (supply + install) | Motor Included? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roller door (Colorbond) | $900–$2,200 | $1,200–$2,500 | +$400–$1,000 for motor |
| Sectional door (Colorbond) | $1,200–$3,000 | $1,800–$4,000 | +$400–$1,000 for motor |
| Sectional door (insulated) | $1,800–$3,500 | $2,500–$5,500 | Often included |
| Tilt door | $1,000–$2,800 | $1,500–$3,000 | +$400–$1,000 for motor |
| Custom / designer door | $3,000–$8,000 | $5,000–$12,000+ | Included |
| Side-roll (space-saver) | $2,000–$4,000 | $3,000–$6,000 | Included |
Sectional doors (panels that fold up into the ceiling) are the most popular choice for new installations — they seal better, insulate better, and allow you to use the full ceiling height for storage. Roller doors are cheaper and work well for basic garages. B&D, Gliderol, and Steel-Line are the main Australian garage door brands.
Garage Door Repairs and Replacement Parts
If your existing garage door needs repair rather than replacement, here's what common fixes cost:
| Repair | Cost Range | When Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Motor replacement | $400–$1,000 | Motor burns out or stops responding |
| Spring replacement (single) | $180–$350 | Springs snap — door won't lift |
| Cable replacement | $110–$400 | Frayed or broken cables |
| Panel replacement (single) | $300–$900 | Dented or damaged panel |
| Track realignment | $100–$350 | Door jams, makes grinding noise |
| Remote / keypad replacement | $80–$220 | Lost, broken, or faulty remote |
| Weatherseal replacement | $80–$200 | Bottom seal worn — lets in water/dust |
| Full service and tune-up | $150–$350 | Annual maintenance — lubricate, adjust |
If your garage door is over 15 years old and needing multiple repairs, replacement is usually more cost-effective. A new sectional door with motor costs $2,300–$5,000 for a single, against $400–$1,000 for a motor replacement alone. New doors also improve insulation, security, and kerb appeal.
What Affects Garage Doors Costs in Australia
Door type
Roller doors ($1,200–$4,500 in Australia) are generally cheaper than sectional panel doors ($2,300–$7,500). Sectional doors offer better insulation, look, and headroom inside the garage.
Single vs double
Double doors for Australian homes cost more than a single door. If your garage has a double opening, a double door is standard — two singles side by side are an option but cost more in total.
Motor / opener
A standard chain-drive motor in Australia costs $400–$1,000. A belt-drive (quieter) motor costs $550–$1,200. Smart openers with WiFi cost extra.
Material & insulation
Steel is standard. Insulated doors cost more but reduce noise and temperature transfer — worthwhile if the garage is attached to living areas or used as a workshop in Australia.
Old door removal
Removing and disposing of an old door is usually included in a full replacement quote but confirm this. Spring-loaded doors need professional removal.
Repairs vs replacement
Minor repairs ($120–$400 in Australia) and spring replacements ($280–$550) are much cheaper than full replacement. If your door is under 10 years old and structurally sound, repair is usually worthwhile.
How to Save Money on Garage Door Cost in Australia
Roller Door Cost in Australia: Garage Door Prices for Roller Doors
A roller door in Australia is priced as a whole job, not a sheet of steel: $1,200–$3,500 for a single automatic door installed, typically $2,200, and $2,000–$4,500 for a double, typically $3,200. These match the 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): $1,200–$3,500 installed, typically $2,200
- Double roller door (auto, installed): $2,000–$4,500 installed, typically $3,200
Garage Motor Cost in Australia: Garage Door Motor Prices
A garage door motor in Australia costs $400–$1,000 installed, typically $780, for a standard replacement opener on an existing door. A quiet belt-drive upgrade runs $550–$1,200, typically $800. These match the 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: $400–$1,000 installed, typically $780
- Motor upgrade (belt-drive quiet): $550–$1,200 installed, typically $800
