Roller garage doors are one of the most popular replacement garage door types installed within the UK.
We advise that although they may all look the same, please do ask a lot of questions when it comes to the basic build, components, security and safety features as well as the guarantee periods and get it in writing. There are a lot of low quality, even illegal roller garage doors selling on the UK market which have been purely manufactured down to the lowest possible specification and they will potentially waste your money.
Roller garage doors fall into two main categories - Steel single skin and double skin aluminium and this steel roller door type is perfectly suited for a lower security budget application, especially if you only want a manually operated door.

Single Skin Steel Roller Door
Single Skin Steel Roller Door
A basic single skin steel roller shutter garage door is a great option for when you are either on a budget or there is little requirement for any performance from the garage door.
The principal of this type of roller garage door is very simple in that a single sheet of rolled and profiled steel is connected to a lightweight skeleton barrel and steel shaft and the roller curtain simply rolls up and down with this spring balanced system. The steel curtain is coated in a tough plastisol colour finish with options on solid and woodgrain colours.
Each door is made to measure to the millimetre and the simple system fits behind either the brickwork opening or a timber frame fitted to suit. The curtain roll is larger than most roller doors, requiring about 400mm to give a clear opening but the whole roller door is so simple and forgiving on out of square openings and unlevel floors.
The definition for a ‘single’ width size with these doors is any size up to 3.4m wide.
Price
Expect to pay between £950 and £1,200 inc. VAT installed for a one off installation with a choice of colours and a good guarantee period. Details such as trimming around the door frame, weather seals on the floor and upgrades on the guides will push the price up slightly and you should always be aware of exactly what you are getting as a finished job to compare like for like.
To keep the installation basic we would expect there to be a separate pedestrian door access to the garage, power supply available nearby and sufficient hanging points on the garage ceiling for the door tracks and the operator boom.
For a single width door we are talking about somewhere in-between 2.2m wide and 2.5m wide with a height around 2.2m generally. This steel roller door is designed primarily to fit to the inside face of the brickwork opening without any sub frame and then this gives the maximum width and potentially maximum height when the door is opened fully.

Features
Colours
For this price example we are using one of the standard 16 solid colour options available.
There are 3 woodgrain laminate foil options also available at a small surcharge.
Security
There is a 2 point steel rod locking system at around waist height consisting of a handle and key lock which throws 2 rods internally into the steel side channels.
The bottom rail on this door is an extruded profile offering great resistance to force.
Ease of Use
Being a lightweight roller door it is simple to operate manually.
There is no need for any oiling or greasing as the runner system is a dry running principal. There are minimal moving parts as the entire curtain is one sheet.
With an electric operator, the press of a button on one of the 2 hand transmitters supplied, or via the mounted control station which sits inside your garage.
If there is a power cut then you have to enter the garage by another door and release the motor drive to operate the door manually which will be quite effortless. If there is no other access then there is a release mechanism, which is attached to the handle or drilled into the panel as a key release mechanism with cable attachment.
OUR VIEW: from 35 years of experience...
The real beauty of this roller door is its simplicity and lightweight design, and components keeping the safety of the door guaranteed and every door is compliant with all the latest regulations concerning a door of this type. With the electric motor option you automatically get a safety reverse based on resistance from an obstruction. There is no requirement for complicated infra red beams or bottom edge detection systems as the external motor drive uses a whole different method for obstacle detection.
There are so many roller garage doors on the UK market right now and the major problem is that the majority of the so called ‘insulated aluminium’ roller doors sold purely on a headline price are absolutely shocking in their quality and safety.
So many doors are simple being made in small workshops and sheds and then sold as a luxury electric insulated roller door but in fact are far from it.
This simple steel single skin roller door can hold its own in terms of quality and reliability and will only be beaten by higher end aluminium roller doors in terms of performance and security. Take it from us if you just want a simple low cost roller door for your garage then you would be better off using one of these single skin steel roller doors rather than a badly made electric insulated aluminium roller door..
This roller door is super simple and forgiving when the structural opening isn’t so good. It has plenty of tolerance and as already mentioned very few moving parts in reality.
