Roller Doors
The classic Roller Door is designed to complement the look and feel of any home. Made from Pre-coated material, roller doors offer a combination of strength, style and functionality, all while taking up very little space even allowing you to drive right up to them before opening. This means installing a roller door is a perfect option if you would like to make the most of every inch of your garden, garage or driveway. Roller doors work by rolling themselves up using a set mechanism – often motorized – and don’t need to open outwards, removing the chance that they will bump into something.
Our roller doors are extremely cost-effective and can be installed quickly by our team with minimum disruption to your home. They are also very easily automated with an automatic garage door opener making them extremely practical and functional.
We find that roller doors are one of the most popular choices across our customers. The strong pre-coated steel provides incredible durability in style perfect for security or weather resistance. We have a great range of roller garage doors to choose from offering you an excellent range to suit your home’s design or styling preferences.
The features that set our products apart provides our customers with peace of mind and a hassle-free experience.
Light-weight Shutters for Ease of Use
Our 0.5mm thick Roll-A-Doors are 3 times lighter than conventional rolling shutters which makes them easier to operate.
Low Maintenance Nylon Components for Durability
We use nylon gears and bearings in the drive unit and anti-friction nylon PolyGlide rope inside guide rails instead of oil or grease. This provides the smoothest, noiseless operation and lasts 6-10 years longer than grease-operated shutters.
Optimized Spring Calibration for Load-free Operation
Our springs are designed using specialized software that recommends the optimum spring combination based on weight of door to achieve next to zero torque. This ensures that the load is fully taken onto the springs and none on the door operator.
Efficient Motor for Smooth Operation
The Orbital Drive Unit is hidden within the drum of the shutter and invisible from the outside. It is highly efficient and operates the door seamlessly and silently.
Choice of Manual or Automatic
All our shutters can be configured as Manual or Automatic according to your needs.
Self-Covering Hoods
Unlike conventional shutters, our products come with in-built hood covers for a neater appearance. If required, we also provide side covers to conceal the motor and shutter assembly.
In-built Safety Mechanisms
All shutters come with 3 foolproof features to ensure safety:
– Safety Reversing: Ensures the doors roll back up in the event of an obstruction during the downward movement of the door.
– In-built Stabilisers: The wall-mounted control box comes with a stabilizer to mitigate the effects of power fluctuations

ABOUT OUR RANGE OF ROLLER DOORS
- How Long Do Roller Doors Last?
While most roller garage doors come with a product warranty for 5-10 years, you can expect your garage door to last up to 30 years, especially with a regular service.
- What’s The Difference Between Roller Garage Doors & Sectional Garage Doors?
Roller doors are made from a flexible metal curtain that rolls into a coil, while sectional garages are made from panels that are folded at the hinges. Roller doors are typically more affordable and longer lasting.
- How Do I Increase The Tension Of My Garage Door
If your roller garage door is no longer tightly rolling up, you may need to increase the tension of the springs. We recommend that if this happens you book a service from a Best Doors technician to avoid further damage to your garage door.
- What Do I Need To Do To Look After My Garage Door

- How Do I Paint A Garage Roller Door?
If your roller door requires a fresh coat of paint, you should start by removing the existing paint with an abrasive tool. When doing this, it is recommended that you wear appropriate PPE to protect your face and hands. Using a metal priming coat is also recommended if you are painting directly over steel as this will help your paint last longing. Once you have removed the old coat, ensure that the garage door is clean and apply paint. You can use a brush but it might be worth using a paint spray gun for ease if you have one available. Depending on the type of paint you are using, it may be worth applying 2-3 coats.
