**Cables and springs** — galvanised and correctly rated. This is where salt does its damage, and it's where failure is sudden rather than gradual.
**Rollers** — nylon with sealed bearings run quieter and last longer than plain steel, and the price difference is small.
**Bottom brackets** — the highest-loaded part on the door and the closest to ground-level salt spray.
Hinges, track sections and fixings are commodity items — a good brand and a cheap one behave much the same. Remotes are a compatibility question rather than a quality one.
Fine for rollers, hinges, remotes and weather seals. Not advisable for springs — the rating has to match the door's weight, and getting that wrong means a door that won't stay up or a spring that fails early. Cables likewise need the right gauge and length.

Where this job typically sits. Access is usually a bigger cost driver than size.
| Job | Indicative price | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Service call / diagnosis | $90 – $180 | Callout and assessment. Usually credited against the repair if you go ahead. |
| Torsion spring replacement | $250 – $600 | Priced per spring. Doors with two springs are normally done as a pair. |
| Cable replacement | $150 – $350 | Often done alongside springs — the two wear together. |
| Motor / opener repair | $150 – $450 | Boards, capacitors and gear sets. Cheaper than replacing the unit where the parts exist. |
| New motor / opener supplied and fitted | $450 – $1,200 | Depends on horsepower, drive type and whether Wi-Fi control is wanted. |
| Roller door repair | $180 – $600 | Curtain, drum, spring or guide work on a roller door. |
| Off-track / re-alignment | $150 – $400 | Common after something clips the door. Check the panels before assuming it's just tracks. |
| Panel or section replacement | $300 – $900+ | Per panel, and colour-matching an older door is the variable. |
| Remote or keypad replacement | $60 – $220 | Coding a new remote is often a five-minute job. |
| Full door replacement (existing opening) | $1,400 – $4,000+ | Sectional, roller or tilt, plus wind classification for the site. |
