Double Roller Garage Doors

A double roller garage door is designed to cover a wider opening, such as for a garage that accommodates two vehicles side by side. Unlike two separate single doors, a double roller door operates as one continuous unit that rolls up into a compact box above the opening. This provides a seamless appearance, easier operation with a single motor, and often proves more cost-effective than installing two individual doors. Double roller doors are ideal for garage openings ranging from 14 to 16 feet wide.

For a double roller garage door, you’ll usually need around 300mm (12 inches) of headroom for insulated aluminium models, while single-skin steel doors typically need a bit more, between 420-450mm.

Yes, modern double roller garage doors offer excellent security features. Our doors come with automatic locking systems that engage when the door closes, and the slats interlock to prevent forced entry. Additional security features include anti-lift devices, reinforced bottom slats, and smart locking mechanisms. When combined with a quality motor and optional security upgrades, double roller doors provide robust protection for your vehicles and belongings.

Professional installation of a double roller garage door usually takes up to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the installation and whether any preparatory work is needed. This includes fitting the guide rails, mounting the roller box, installing the motor system, and testing all safety features. Some installations may also require electrical work for the motor, which could extend the timeframe. We’ll provide you with an estimate before beginning work, so you know what to expect.

Double roller garage doors are relatively easy to maintain compared to other garage door types. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the door slats every few months with mild detergent, checking and lubricating the guide rails annually, and ensuring the motor and safety sensors are functioning correctly. It’s recommended to have a professional service once a year to check the motor, springs, and safety mechanisms. Quality roller doors come with warranties covering parts and motor for several years, providing peace of mind.

Yes, we offer electric roller garage doors that carry official Secured by Design accreditation. Secured by Design is a long-standing UK police-backed initiative that certifies building products meeting rigorous security standards. When a garage door holds this accreditation, it has been independently assessed to offer strong, reliable resistance against criminal attempts.

A good double roller garage door offers space-saving vertical operation, quiet performance, delivers strong levels of security, and excellent insulation. It should feature high-quality aluminium slats, a reliable motor with safety features (including obstruction detection), smooth-glide rollers, and have integrated tension springs for durability and easier manual use.
