Garage door repair and install prices in Cranbourne - 2026 guide
Garage doors in Cranbourne fall into two pricing worlds - repair (springs, motors, panels, cables) ranges $180-$1,200, and replacement (whole-door install) ranges $1,800-$8,500. Torsion-spring failure is the #1 emergency callout, and it's a hospital-trip risk if DIY'd, so almost always worth the call.
Below are realistic 2026 ranges. We carry common spares on the truck for same-day on most repairs. Call (03) 9003 0250 for an exact quote.

What changes the price on your job
The ranges above are the starting point. These five factors are what move a quote up or down within (or sometimes outside) those bands.
- Door type - sectional vs roller has different parts + motors.
- Brand - B&D, Merlin, Steel-Line, Centurion all carry different parts pricing.
- Motor capacity - light-duty for single, heavy-duty for double (different price tier).
- Wind rating - coastal / cyclone-rated areas require AS 4505-compliant panels (premium).
- Insulation - foam-core panels for liveable garages cost more.
Red flags - what to watch for in quotes
We see these patterns every week from operators we'd never recommend. If a quote you've received contains one of these, ask before signing.
- DIY torsion-spring replacement - broken springs are stored-energy bombs. Hospital trips happen.
- Cash repairs with no invoice - voids manufacturer parts warranty.
- Cheap aftermarket motors - fail at year 2-3 vs B&D/Merlin 8-12.
- Quotes that don't separate door from motor - leaves them free to swap to a cheaper combo.
- 'Free install' with door purchase - usually means inflated door price.
How to get an accurate quote in 5 minutes
Have the following ready when you call (03) 9003 0250 (or jot it on the quote form) and we can give you a real number in one call, not five.
- Door size (rough - single, double, panel count).
- Existing brand + age (look for the sticker inside).
- What's broken (won't open, slow, noisy, stuck mid-way, spring obviously broken).
- Single or double-storey home (affects rail/spring setup).
- Any remote / app integration plans.
