Roller Shutter Door Manufacturing in Roodepoort

Typical response: Typical lead time 2–3 weeks

We manufacture the roller shutter doors we install, which is why a Roodepoort order can be built to the opening rather than trimmed to fit one. Openings on the West Rand are rarely standard: the older industrial stock in Stormill, Robertville and Technikon was built to imperial sizes, and the newer warehousing off Delarey and around Laser Park was built to whatever the tenant needed at the time.

Roller shutter doors manufactured for Roodepoort sites

Curtain, guides, barrel, bottom rail and drive are specified together, from the opening size and the duty the door has to carry. Nothing about the build is decided by what happened to be in stock.

• Curtain gauge and profile chosen for span, wind load and cycle count.
• Guide depth set so a knocked curtain stays in its channel.
• Barrel and shaft sized to deflection over the actual span, not a nominal one.
• Drive matched to the duty, from manual chain to three-phase tube and side motors.

Materials and finishes

Galvanised steel is the working default and takes the grit and dust that comes off the old mine ground on the western side of Roodepoort without complaint. Where a door faces the weather on the ridge, we go heavier on the coating rather than heavier on the promise. Aluminium, perforated and transparent curtains are built for the retail frontages around Clearwater Mall, Westgate and Little Falls where visibility matters as much as security.

Measuring and manufacturing lead times

We measure on site. A drawing measurement is a starting point, not a manufacturing instruction, and the difference between the two is where badly fitting doors come from. Standard galvanised doors normally run two to three weeks from approved measurements; specials, fire-rated units and unusual finishes run longer and we say so before you commit.

Replacement roller shutter doors for existing openings

Most Roodepoort work is replacement rather than new build. That means working around a structure that already exists: existing steelwork, existing headroom, existing power. We survey what is there and build the door to suit it, which is normally cheaper than rebuilding the opening to suit a stock door.

Roller shutter doors for industrial Roodepoort

Stormill, Robertville, Technikon, Industria West and the Delarey industrial belt run doors as production equipment. Those buildings get heavier curtains, deeper guides and drives rated for the cycle count the opening actually sees, because a failed door on a loading bay stops the building, not just the door.

Quality control before a door leaves

Every door is assembled and cycled before it is dispatched. Guides are checked for parallel, the curtain is checked for tracking, and the drive is run through its limits. Finding a fault in the workshop costs an hour; finding it on site costs a day and your goodwill.

Warranty and after-sales support

We warrant our own manufacture and our own installation, so there is no argument later about which party owns a fault. Spares for our doors are held locally, and a door we built ten years ago can still be repaired rather than replaced.
