Quick Answer
A garage door service in Perth from Elite Garage Doors is a full mechanical and safety tune-up: we test the spring balance, inspect the lift cables and rollers, lubricate every moving point, check the opener's safety beams, force and limit settings, and tighten the fasteners that work loose over a year of use. It costs from $140 incl. GST plus any parts, and we come to every Perth suburb with no call-out fee.
What a Garage Door Service Actually Covers
Garage door maintenance in Perth is mostly about balance and friction. Springs lose a little tension every cycle, so after a year the opener is lifting weight it was never set up for; that is how drive gears strip and logic boards burn out. Our service starts with the door disconnected from the motor and lifted by hand. If it holds itself halfway, the springs are right; if it drifts or drops, we re-tension them before anything else is touched.
Then the hardware. We run each lift cable through our fingers for broken strands and check it sits in the drum grooves, spin every roller to find flat spots and wobbling stems, and look over the bottom brackets and hinges for cracks. Hinges, roller stems, spring coils and the opener's chain or belt get the right lubricant; the tracks get cleaned, not greased, because grease in a track collects grit and makes the door louder, not quieter.
The opener gets its own checks. We block the safety beams while the door closes to make sure it reverses, test the force setting so the door stops and backs off when it meets an obstruction, and confirm the open and close limits so the door seals on the floor without straining the motor. Finally every track bracket, hinge screw and motor mount is tightened. The service is from $140 incl. GST plus parts; our service cost guide lists what common parts add. If you're not sure the door is due, read how often a garage door should be serviced.

From $140 incl. GST for a home roller, sectional or tilt door, plus any parts we find worn (a roller or hinge is $30 each fitted). A commercial roller shutter service starts at $280. There's no call-out fee and no charge for quoting the parts; you decide on each one before it goes on.
Once a year for a typical home door that opens a few times a day. Move to every six months if the door is the main entry for a busy household, if it's a heavy timber or insulated door, or if you live near the coast, where salt air attacks springs and cables; our coastal checklist covers that. Commercial doors cycling all day need a schedule set to their use.
Yes, in a good way. Capital motors we install carry a 5-year motor and drive warranty, and that cover can extend up to 7 years with annual servicing; the full terms are here. Our workmanship on the service itself carries a 12-month warranty.
Springs. Torsion and extension springs carry the door's weight, they weaken with every cycle, and when one breaks the door is either stuck or dangerously heavy. Many other failures (stripped opener gears, snapped cables, doors dropping off track) trace back to a spring that was out of balance for months. That's why the balance test is the first thing we do on a service.
Every service is mobile: the technician comes to you from Gosnells, whether you're in Willetton, Cannington or on the other side of the river. We cover the whole Perth metro area, 24/7.
Some of it. You can safely wipe the tracks, lubricate hinges and roller stems, test the safety beams with a box in the doorway, and change remote batteries. Leave the spring balance, cable seating and force settings to a technician: springs and cables hold enough tension to cause serious injury, and a badly set force limit can stop the door reversing on a person or a car.
