Individual owners’ garage doors in our strata are originally controlled manually and are considered Common Property and the OC is responsible for maintenance.

If an owner subsequently installs a motorized door opener with a remote control device is the repair and maintenance of the associated mechanism (springs, brackets etc) still an OC responsibility or does responsibility pass to the owner as a result of the modifications made?

If the garage door is common property then the owners needs strata committee permission before they change it (by adding an opening device).  That permission should come subject to a commitment by the owner to maintain and repair the door and the mechanism.
