What’s included in the standard installation

• Free on-site measure
• Removal and disposal of the old door
• New door supply (selected brand, size, colour, finish)
• Tracks, hardware (hinges, rollers, brackets)
• Springs (torsion or extension as applicable)
• Motor and opener with two remotes
• Wall-button installation and wiring
• Final commissioning, force-and-limit settings, manual-release walk-through

What’s typically extra

• Smart-opener app setup and home-network pairing: $80-$160 if not part of bundled spec
• Keypad install (exterior wall-mount): $80-$140
• Additional remotes beyond the standard pack of 2: $60-$140 each
• Heritage / planning consent support: time-and-materials
• Custom Colorbond colour outside standard range: +5-15% on door cost

• Disposal of an unusually heavy or asbestos-suspect old door: case-by-case

What drives where you land in the range

• Door size. Single 2,400mm vs single 2,700mm changes the panel cost.
• Insulation grade. Polyurethane R3 is the current premium-residential default; polystyrene R1.5 is the budget call.
• Brand. B&D and Steel-Line carry warehouse stock at scale; some premium-brand custom doors carry both supply premium and longer lead time.
• Motor. Smart Wi-Fi vs basic chain-drive is the biggest motor-cost lever.
• Suburb. Inner-metro is at the lower end; Mount Barker, Aldinga, Strathalbyn and outer-Hills carry small travel premiums.
• Existing-door condition. A like-for-like swap on existing tracks is faster than a re-frame for a different door type.

Lead times

• Standard sectional or roller in stock colour: 1-3 weeks from on-site measure to install date.
• Custom Colorbond colour: 3-5 weeks.
• Custom timber sectional: 4-8 weeks.
• Bushfire-rated custom: 6-10 weeks.

Whether to replace

• Replace if your existing door is over 18 years old and you’re hitting the second major-repair cycle.
• Replace if cumulative repair cost over the next 24 months would exceed 40% of replacement.
• Replace if you’re renovating the property and the door’s the only thing dragging the front-of-house aesthetic.
• Repair if the door’s under 15 years old, sound, and a single component has failed.
