We manufacture the roller shutter doors we install, which is why a Fourways order gets built to the opening instead of trimmed to fit one. That matters more here than people expect. Estate homes and complexes have openings that were built to a developer standard and then modified, and retail units at the centres are almost never the size the tenant drawing says.
Roller shutter doors manufactured for Fourways sites
Curtain, guides, barrel, bottom rail and drive are specified together, from the opening size and the duty the door has to carry. Nothing 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 on deflection across the actual span.
- Drive matched to the duty, from manual chain to three-phase tube and side motors.
Doors built to estate architectural guidelines
This is the specification question that comes up most in Fourways. Estates through Dainfern, Cedar Lakes, Fourways Gardens and Broadacres control external appearance closely, and a shutter that does not match the approved colour or profile will not get signed off. We build to the estate specification, supply the details the architectural committee needs in writing, and match existing doors on the property so a replacement does not stand out against its neighbour.
Retail and commercial doors for the Fourways centres
Fourways Mall, Montecasino, Design Quarter, Cedar Square, Broadacres and the Pineslopes and Leaping Frog strips all run their own tenant fit-out rules. Doors for those units are built to the reveal, finished to the shopfront, and installed inside the centre’s working window.
Materials and finishes
Galvanised steel is the working default for back-of-house and service openings. Aluminium, perforated and transparent curtains are built for the retail frontages where the window has to keep working after closing, and powder-coated finishes are matched to the shopfront or the estate specification rather than left raw.
Measuring and manufacturing lead times
We measure on site. A drawing measurement is a starting point, not a manufacturing instruction, and the gap between the two is where badly fitting doors come from. Standard galvanised doors run two to three weeks from approved measurements; fire-rated units, insulated curtains and specials run longer, and we say so before you commit.
Quality control before a door leaves
Every door is assembled and cycled before dispatch. Guides checked for parallel, curtain checked for tracking, drive 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 are held locally and a door we built ten years ago can still be repaired rather than replaced.
Getting a manufacturing quote in Fourways
Send the opening width and height, tell us what the door has to do and how often it will run, and we will measure. Manufacture, delivery and installation are quoted as separate lines.
Common questions
About roller shutter door manufacturing
Roughly eight metres wide, depending on the slat gauge and the drive selected. Height is generally limited by the building rather than the door. Unusual openings are normal work for us — the door is built to your measured opening, not cut down from a stock size.
Yes. Powder coating is available to any RAL colour, and we regularly match centre management or corporate specifications. Galvanised is the default where the opening faces weather, salt air or washdown, because the zinc is bonded to the steel rather than sprayed over it.
Yes, we manufacture for trade as well as supplying and installing direct. Tell us the opening dimensions, slat specification and drive requirement and we will quote on manufacture only.
Two to three weeks from accepted quote for a standard industrial or domestic door, with survey and manufacture taking most of that. Fire-rated assemblies and unusual sizes take longer because components are brought in.
