Garage Door Repair Services Melbourne: At Garage Door Solutions (Vic), we believe a well-maintained garage door should last for years — keeping your home secure, your family safe, and your daily routine running smoothly. But when your door shows signs of wear, damage, or fails completely, you need trusted experts to bring it back to life.
We’ve been repairing and servicing garage doors across South East Melbourne, Mornington Peninsula, Bayside and Eastern suburbs for over 60 years. Whether your roller door won’t budge, your tilt door is misaligned, or your opener has failed — we can help.
Why Timely Garage Door Repairs Matter
Garage doors are heavy, motor-driven systems. If one part wears or breaks, the entire system can become dangerous — risking damage to property or injury to people. Even small faults — a worn spring, frayed cable or poorly adjusted motor — can:
- Compromise your home security
- Make your garage unsafe to use
- Lead to bigger, more expensive repairs later
- Shorten the lifespan of your garage door system
Prompt repairs not only restore function but protect your door’s value and your family’s peace of mind.
Our Garage Door Repair Services
We offer a full range of professional garage door repairs — for all major makes, models and door styles:
Roller doors | Tilt garage doors | Sectional (panel lift) doors | Garage door openers
General Garage Door Repairs
Our technicians are experts in troubleshooting and repairing all common faults:
- Doors not opening/closing fully
- Jerky, noisy or vibrating operation
- Doors stuck off-track or jammed
- Garage door unbalanced or sagging
- Remote controls, keypads or wall buttons not working
- Safety beam sensor faults
- Opener lights flashing or errors
You’ll receive an honest diagnosis, clear quote, and quality repairs to restore safe, smooth operation.
Broken Spring Replacement
Garage door springs carry huge tension and do most of the heavy lifting. Over time, they weaken and eventually snap — often without warning.
A broken spring may cause:
- Door stuck in place
- Door too heavy to lift
- Sudden dropping when opening/closing
We replace springs on:
- Roller doors
- Tilt doors
- Sectional (panel lift) doors
Using precision-matched torsion or extension springs for correct tension and balance.
Cable & Track Repairs
Frayed cables and bent tracks can cause serious operational problems:
- Crooked, stuck or uneven door movement
- Jamming halfway
- Grinding, squeaking or scraping noises
We repair and replace lifting cables, realign tracks, and ensure smooth door movement across the entire opening.
Garage Door Opener Repairs
If your garage door opener isn’t responding — or is noisy, sluggish or intermittent — we can help:
- Opener making noise but not moving door
- Flashing error lights
- Remotes not responding
- Motor struggles with heavy door
- Inconsistent operation
We repair Merlin, B&D, SOMMER, ATA, Grifco and other brands — from motor drives to control boards, safety beams and receivers. If your motor is beyond repair, we can recommend and fit a modern replacement.
Garage Door Remote Replacement
Lost or broken garage door remote? We supply and program replacements:
- Merlin
- B&D
- SOMMER
- ATA
- Universal compatible
Many remotes can be programmed on the spot while you wait — restoring your garage access quickly.
Garage Door Motor Upgrades
If your old motor is unreliable, noisy or lacks modern features, it may be time to upgrade:
- New energy-efficient motors
- Quiet operation with soft-start/stop
- Smart home compatibility (WiFi + phone app control)
- Improved security (rolling codes, auto-locks)
- Battery backup for power outages
We’ll match the perfect opener to your door type and usage — for years of smooth performance.

Do you carry spare parts with you for faster repairs?
Yes — our service vehicles are fully stocked with genuine parts for most major garage door brands, including springs, cables, rollers, remotes, motors and electronics. This allows us to complete most repairs on the spot, without needing to schedule a second visit.
Can I upgrade my garage door opener during a repair visit?
Absolutely. If your opener is outdated, underpowered or not worth repairing, our technicians can recommend and install a modern, energy-efficient replacement — often on the same visit. We stock quality openers from Merlin, B&D, SOMMER and others, with smart home features and superior safety.
What garage door brands do you repair?

- B&D
- Merlin
- SOMMER
- ATA (Automatic Technology Australia)
- Steel-Line
- Taurean
- Grifco

Are garage door repairs covered under warranty?
It depends. If your door or motor is still under manufacturer warranty, certain repairs (such as defects) may be covered. Wear and tear, accidental damage and component failure outside warranty are typically not covered — but we’ll always advise you clearly. All of our own repair work is backed by our 10-Year Installation Labour Guarantee.
How do I maintain my garage door after it’s been repaired?
Regular maintenance is the key to long-term reliability. We recommend:
- Booking an annual service with us
- Keeping the tracks clean and free of debris
- Listening for any new noises during operation
Testing the safety reversal mechanism regularly
We can show you the best practices at the end of your repair visit.
Can you repair older garage doors or should I replace them?
In many cases, older doors can be repaired and restored to excellent working order — saving you money compared to full replacement. However, if your door is over 20 years old, very corroded, structurally damaged, or no longer meets modern safety standards, we may recommend an upgrade. Our team will always give honest advice based on your best long-term value.
