Hello,
I need to replace the whole double garage door in a rental property as it is beyond repair, costing $2700
Do I claim it as depreciation plant or expense?
Thanks in advance.

Repair (expense) vs Replacement (capitalise and depreciate) - see here
In short - if you replace the whole thing, you generally capitalise and depreciate. If you are only replacing / repairing part of an asset then its repair.
For you - it sounds like you need to capitalise and depreciate.
