Most installation problems in Pretoria are decided before anything is manufactured. The opening is measured badly, the headroom is assumed rather than checked, or the door is specified from a drawing that no longer matches what was built. We survey the structure, not the aperture, and the door is then made to those figures at our own works.
What a roller shutter door installation survey covers
- The opening at several points. Older buildings in the CBD, Pretoria West and around Koedoespoort are rarely square, and a door built to one measurement will bind or gap.
- Headroom and side room, which decide the box size and operator position. On the older northern suburbs this is frequently the binding constraint.
- The floor across the threshold. A settled slab is why a door seals on one side and gaps on the other.
- The structure above. If the lintel will not carry the box, steel goes in first and is priced in the quotation.
- Power and access control, including whether the operator ties into an existing tag or intercom system.
Roller shutter doors made to your opening
Curtains, guides, boxes and bottom rails are cut, rolled and assembled at our own works under an ISO 9001:2015 approved quality system. Because nothing is ordered in a stock size, a narrow single garage in Villieria and a wide plant opening at Rosslyn go through the same process. Gauge and coating are chosen for the duty and the environment.
Our roller shutter door installation process
Fitted by our own crews, never subcontracted. In the Pretoria CBD and at Menlyn that usually means an early start or an after-hours slot agreed with building management. On industrial sites at Waltloo and Silverton we phase the work bay by bay so the building keeps operating, and we bring a temporary closure so nothing stands open overnight.
Roller shutter door installation and commissioning
The door is tested under power and by hand. We set and record the travel limits, check safety edges and photocells, demonstrate the manual release to whoever will need it at six in the morning, and leave you the service interval for the duty the door will see.
Roller shutter door installation lead times
Because every door is built to your measured opening, the lead time is manufacture rather than delivery. Normally a few working days from survey for a standard commercial or residential door, longer for fire-rated or large-span work, and we give you the date at quotation.

Common questions
About roller shutter door installation
A single standard door is usually a one-day fit. Multiple bays are phased so you never lose more than part of your dock or workshop capacity at once. The longer part is manufacture — roughly two to three weeks from accepted quote.
No. Our own teams install what we manufacture. It matters more than it sounds: when installation is subcontracted to whoever is nearest, nobody owns the result, and the warranty conversation a year later becomes an argument about whose fault it was.
A structurally sound opening and, for motorised doors, a power supply at the right side of it. The site survey checks both. If the opening needs steelwork or the power needs moving, that is itemised in the quote rather than discovered on installation day.
Yes, and it is included in most replacement quotes. Say so at survey stage so the team arrives with the right equipment, particularly on wide industrial openings.
