Roller Doors
There
are four main dimensions you need to check for
a roller door: Opening width, opening height,
side clearance, and headroom clearance.

measurment form
The
minimum side clearance required
is 130mm on each side of the
opening. If an electrical operating system is
to be fitted, the sideroom required can increase
depending on the type used. The most common
operating systems require an extra 80mm
on the side to which it is to be fitted. Manual
doors can be fitted to a minimum of 100mm
- Special Order.
The
minimum headroom clearance (i.e. between the
underside of the lintel and the ceiling) is
330mm. To get the full use
of the opening height however, 460mm
clearance is required. This clearance must extend
for a minimum of 500mm back
from the opening. Inquire about our special
order "Mini Roll" door
if you have limited headroom in your garage.
Please
ensure that the area around the opening is strong
enough to support the door. The surface where
the door is to be fitted must be flush and reasonably
smooth. Small irregularities in brick work will
be acceptable. The lintel must not protrude
backwards or forwards from the brick piers.
