Service intervals explained

How often should a garage door be serviced?

Service intervals depend on the door: roller doors every two years, custom, tilt and sectional doors yearly.

Standard residential use

Standard roller doors in everyday use benefit from professional servicing every two years to stay reliable.

Coastal homes

Salt air accelerates corrosion, but the interval is the same as inland. A service flushes salt from tracks.

High-use households

Homes using the garage as the main entry often benefit from more frequent servicing to reduce wear.

Ongoing maintenance

Regular track cleaning and lubrication can help reduce wear and keep your door operating smoothly.

Common Questions

Garage door servicing FAQs.

Questions homeowners usually ask before booking a service.

Common signs include unusual noise, slower operation, jerky movement, vibration, difficulty opening or closing, or simply not having been serviced for several years.

Standard roller doors are generally on a two-year cycle, coastal or inland. Custom, tilt and sectional doors are worth servicing yearly.

While servicing can't prevent every fault, it can identify worn components before they fail and help reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns.

A standard garage door service typically includes lubrication of moving components, inspection of springs and cables, safety testing, motor checks, adjustments and a general assessment of the door's overall condition.

A standard garage door service costs $180, with any required replacement parts being extra. We’ll always assess your door first and explain any component recommendations before carrying out additional work.

Yes. Roller doors contain moving components that experience wear over time. Regular servicing helps maintain smooth operation and identify issues before they become larger repairs.

Lubrication requirements vary depending on usage and environment. Homes closer to the coast generally benefit from more frequent maintenance due to increased exposure to salt air and moisture.

Yes. We inspect motors, automation systems, remotes and safety features as part of a comprehensive service where applicable.

We recommend the same interval as inland homes. Homes in areas such as Torquay, Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads can experience accelerated wear from salt air, so keeping to that interval matters more. A service flushes salt build-up from the tracks before it causes lasting damage.

Regular servicing helps identify wear early, maintain safe operation and reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns. It's often far more cost-effective than waiting for a major component to fail.

In many cases, yes. Even older garage doors can benefit from regular maintenance. If we identify components that may be nearing the end of their lifespan, we'll explain the available options and recommend the most practical solution.
