Box type

We offer two different box types for our domestic doors:

Full box

  • The Look: Completely encloses the roll in a sleek aluminum housing.
  • The Benefit: Protects the motor and curtain from dust, grit, and nesting birds. It’s also a vital safety barrier if you use your garage for storage or as a workshop.
  • Verdict: Choose this for a "clean" professional finish and maximum longevity.

Half box

  • The Look: An L-shaped fascia that covers the front and top. The back of the roll remains visible from inside the garage.
  • The Benefit: Saves on cost while still providing a neat appearance from the driveway.
  • Verdict: Best if you are on a budget and don't mind seeing the mechanism from inside the garage.

How to measure for your door

We manufacture your door based on the "Daylight" size (the actual hole in the wall). Measurements must be taken viewing the opening from the inside looking out.

Step 1: The Width

Measure the width between the brickwork at the top, middle, and bottom. Use the narrowest measurement.

Step 2: The Height

Measure from the internal floor to the underside of the lintel. Ensure the floor is level.

Step 3: Right space

Measure space from opening to the first obstacle.

Step 4: Left space

Measure space from opening to the first obstacle.

Step 5: Headroom

Headroom from the start of the lintel and lowest part of the ceiling.

Clearance requirements

  • 77mm Slat: Needs 300mm above the lintel.
  • 55mm Slat: Needs 205mm above the lintel.
  • Sideroom: You need 90mm on each side for the guide rails for fixing behind the openings

Side profile

Please note that when the roller door is fully open, the bottom slat will always hang down by approximately 70mm from the top of the guide rails.
