Rolling gates are very popular. The design and types of installation have been studied for a long time. But very often, upon the technician’s arrival at the site, many comments arise on the opening, which complicates the installation of the gate, or even makes it impossible.
Zashchita Company specialists have prepared some recommendations for preparing an opening for installing rolling gates.
1. Design of rolling gates.
To begin with, let us recall the main structural details of the gate (Fig. 1). Rice. 1
Rice. 2 Please pay attention to design feature joining the side cover with the guide rail. We will need this information later.
The technical parameters of the profile do not matter for the preparation of the opening, but for information I would like to clarify that rolling gates household use supplied from 77 profile. All other profiles 45, 58 are considered roller shutters.
Box
Boxes for rolling gates for domestic use are supplied in two types:
- 300 and 375 (360) see in fig. 3
Note. 375 box consists of 3 parts, for built-in installation it comes with a back cover, for surface installation - without a back cover.
Rice. 3
E If the finished gate design is 2700 - 2900mm (including the frame), then a 300mm frame is supplied. Rolling gates over 2900m high are supplied with 375 (360) frames.
Attention! If the gate is large, then with a height of up to 2900, a frame of 375 (360) is possible. Be sure to check with specialists.
The size of the box is very important when constructing columns. The height of the passage + box + end profile (100mm).
The photo shows an example of an Alutech gate with a 360 frame (without a back cover).
Gate size, mm - w. 5210 x c. 2700(passage size - w. 5010 x h. 2240)
Complete set - 360 boxes, 102 shafts, guide bars - 100.
Depending on the size of the structure, guide bars are supplied in the following types: 83, 90, 100.
The tire size is very important when determining the type of gate installation.
With built-in installation, the guide rails cover part of the opening width.
For surface-mounted installation, the size of the tires is required when erecting columns.
2. Type of installation of rolling gates.
Basically, roller gates (roller gates) are used as entrance gates to the territory, but sometimes they are also installed on the garage.
Installation of built-in military
With built-in installation, the light opening is reduced - in width due to guide rails (166 -200mm), in height - due to the box + end profile (400 -475mm).
For correct and reliable installation, some requirements related to the opening must be met:
- openings must have a rectangular shape;
- badThe speed to which the guide bar is attached must be even and smooth;
- rejectedThe distance between working surfaces from vertical and horizontal should not exceed 5 mm.
If the walls (columns) have an uneven, convex or concave contour, in this case the gate structure cannot fit tightly to the walls and therefore gaps form. If such gaps are 2-3mm, they can be hidden using a sealing material matched to the color of the structure, but there are gaps of 10-20mm.
Installation of invoice
Surface-mounted installation is the most common and simplest type of installation of roller shutters. The box with the canvas is installed above the opening, the guide rails are on the side of it. The opening should be at the same level and have a smooth surface.
3. Preparing the opening.
If you are installing roller gates on a garage, you first of all need to decide where the gate will be located - inside the garage or outside.
If the ceiling inside the garage is 300 or 400 mm, and there are no pipes or other structures in the places where the gate is attached, then you can safely install the gate inside the garage.
Note.
In order to determine the height of the opening in the light, it is necessary to take into account the size of the box (300, 375) and the size of the end profile (approximately 10 cm with sealing rubber), which does not go into the box and also blocks the light opening.
When installing gates on columns (at the entrance), it is necessary to prepare stable columns of the required height.
Let's go back to the beginning of the article and look at Fig. 2, which shows that the side cover is inserted into the guide rail. Since the main mechanisms (shaft, drive, entire profile (in the open state)) are located in the box, the main load falls on the side covers, so they must be rigidly fixed. Therefore, when calculating the height of the entrance columns, it is necessary to take into account the finished height of the rolling gates.
Example.
Installation of roller gates at the entrance, type of installation - overhead.
If you want to travel to pure form was - shire. 3000 x h. 2700
You need the width between the columns to be 3000mm
The height of the columns must be at least 3175mm
IN in this case, the height of the light opening will be 2700 mm
Finished gate structure - 3175m.
DIMENSIONS AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE OPENING
H - opening height; B - opening width
Ceiling, when installing gates with an overlay from inside the room, from 250 to 350 mm. b1 and b2 - areas for fastening the guides, (not less than the width of the guide - 90mm).
When installing an overlay on an opening, the wall on which the gate is installed must be in the same vertical plane, without protrusions or niches. With built-in installation, the gate is located inside the opening, and the minimum dimensions of the opening are indicated.
If the wall is made of foam blocks, you should scald the inner opening with a 75x75mm corner.
Before installation begins, you must complete all finishing, plaster, etc.
And, of course, electrical wiring. It is necessary to provide electrical wiring to one of the columns to connect the gate, since rolling gates are mainly supplied with an electric drive.
I hope that this information It will be useful to you.
IN modern world mechanical systems are increasingly giving way to automated ones. In an effort to make their lives more comfortable, people use advanced devices at home.
A striking example of such devices are roller shutters. They are very often used in the production of curtains and partitions. Many motorists use roller doors for their garages.
This system has a number of advantages
Roller shutter systems are very popular today. Doors and partitions in the form of roller shutters can be found in large shopping pavilions, production premises and warehouses. Their popularity is due to the following properties:
In this video you will learn more about automatic gates:
A design with such characteristics is ideal for arranging gates. That is why garage owners are increasingly choosing garage roller doors as an alternative to conventional swing or sliding structures.
Like any other mechanism, the roller shutter system built into doorway garage, has operating features. To prevent it from being damaged by precipitation, it must be protected. Special attention should be given to cleaning from ice crust, which can negatively affect the operation of the structure.
Mechanism of action of roller shutters
The roller shutter system used in garages as a gate consists of several parts. For its production it is used:
- Canvas. The main visible part, consisting of individual strips (lamellas) made of aluminum or extruded profile. The profile has a cavity inside, but due to the stiffening ribs it is characterized good level strength. Sometimes steel, which has very high strength, can be used to produce the canvas. However, steel roller shutters are not very popular, because... They are heavy, unstable to corrosion and create a lot of noise during operation or during precipitation.
- Protective box The roller shutter cloth is retracted into it during opening. Its dimensions can vary from 250 to 405 mm depending on the size of the entire structure.
- Guide profile. The lamellas of the roller shutter move along it during their opening and closing.
- Seal. Located around the entire perimeter, it ensures silent operation and thermal insulation.
- Automatic lock. Fixes the canvas in a closed state, reliably protecting the structure from burglary.
In order for the roller shutter system to be able to roll up and unwind freely, it must have a shaft. It can be installed horizontally or movably using cantilever rails and roller carriages.
The movable shaft is considered more functional, since the lamellas wear out less in this case, the service life of the mechanism increases. Regardless of the mounting method, the shaft is always equipped with an emergency braking system.
Electric drive
In order for roller shutters to be able to rise and fall easily, force must be applied to them. Ensuring the action of such force helps electric drive. To do this, place in a special casing electric wires and connect to the network alternating current. In order for a gate weighing about 100 kg to move freely, power will be required in the range of 250-500 W.
An alternative to an electric drive could be manual control. However, it is very labor-intensive due to the heavy weight of the device. Automatic roller shutters more convenient, they come into motion with one press of a button on the control panel or stationary switch. Easy to open in the absence of electricity mechanically using the key included in the kit.
Mounting methods
Roller shutters can be installed in the garage in different ways. There are three options for mounting them:
- Overhead. A shaft is fixed in the upper part of the door passage, and vertical guides are mounted on both sides of it.
- Ceiling. The shaft is installed in a special decorative box, which forms an additional lintel, located 3-4 cm above the main one. This method of fastening is suitable for openings with a height of more than 2.5 m.
- Wall installation. Roller gates installed in this way look very beautiful, they seem to come out of the wall. However, such an installation is quite difficult to make. Even at the garage design stage, it is necessary to provide for the presence of a niche in the wall for the box, which will subsequently be covered with clapboard, brick or plaster. When choosing to mount roller shutters in the wall, you should take into account that upon completion installation work access to the drive mechanism will be completely blocked. This will make it difficult to dismantle it if it breaks.
Swing and sliding doors garages often have a special gate. With its help, people are able to get in and out without opening the massive structure completely.
It is advisable to install it on a garage yourself if there is sorely not enough space to open the gate leaves. This problem is often faced by garage owners in co-ops where the garages are located close to each other.
This garage door design is easy to use and requires virtually no hardware for installation. But, roller shutter gates also have serious disadvantages - they are easy to break into.
The principle of operation is simple - a roller mechanism and a system of cables raises and lowers the metal curtain of the gate. These are metal blinds for the garage, which can be equipped with many convenient additional elements.
When installing automation, the kit must include a gate unlocking lever. When there is no electricity, you can open the roller shutters by simply pressing the handle.
For the comfort of using garage doors with roller shutters, you can purchase additional convenient accessories:
The cost of a garage roller shutter depends not only on the selected components, but also on other important parameters.
The simplest budget set of roller shutters for a standard garage will cost 7–9 thousand rubles without installation. The cost is influenced by the following factors:
Advice. If you install Garage Doors roller shutters with your own hands, then it is more profitable to purchase a basic inexpensive package and purchase additional parts separately. For example, an automation unit for disassembly will cost half as much.
If you decide to install roller shutter garage doors with your own hands, then you need to know which design according to the installation method you need to buy:
Advice. When purchasing roller shutters, immediately calculate the height, since you need space to mount the box into which the gate leaf is rolled up.
The design principle is quite simple. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such garage doors?
This design is profitable and convenient to install in garages that are located in a protected area.
There are many options for decorating such garage doors; you can choose a spectacular and beautiful finish wood effect, fabric, with beautiful drawings and inscriptions.
If you decide to install roller shutter gates in your garage with your own hands and save up to 50 percent of the cost, then we offer detailed instructions on installation.
When purchasing roller shutters, you need to take into account that such garage doors are suitable for standard garages. Standard – aluminum structures are installed on a gate area of up to 14 squares, steel gates - no more than 49 squares.
For installation, you need a standard set of tools - a screwdriver, drill, level, hammer drill, hammer and pliers. Sealing of joints is carried out with acrylic or silicone sealants, along the perimeter of the box, when installed in the opening, we seal it with polyurethane foam.
When purchasing garage doors of this design, it is important to correctly calculate the required dimensions. Along the gate opening, the width and height of finished roller shutters should not be less than five millimeters. Be sure to check the dimensions diagonally as well; this requirement is important for old garages, where the gate opening may have been knocked down during laying.
Important. When drilling holes for fasteners, you need to retreat 10 centimeters from the edges of the guide.
Important. If we install automation, then we immediately need to make another hole to connect the electric drive.
Important. Check the horizontal and vertical several times to ensure that the frame is not skewed.
Frame fastening elements are usually sold as a set, but it must be borne in mind that for brick and concrete walls dowels and anchors 3 cm long are needed, for hollow wall blocks - 6 cm, and in metal garages Roller shutters are attached to metal screws.
We tighten the fastening of the frame alternately, checking the level horizontally and vertically. After installing the frame, you can mount the automation and fasten lifting mechanism and the gate leaf.
To correctly install roller shutters in the garage with your own hands, watch the video, so the process is more clear.
There are many various designs gates: sectional, swing, lifting. Electric roller gates or roller shutters are ideal for a garage and closing the yard from prying eyes.
Rolling gates, also known as roller gates or roller gates, are a unique locking design that allows you to close a room without any joints. The canvas in this design is rolled into a roll, which is where the name of this type of shutters comes from. They are very convenient to use in small areas, since they do not require a separate space for the diameter of the plow.

Advantages of rolling gates:
Flaws:
The gate is divided into two parts: visible and invisible. The visible one is lamellas or canvas; it is divided into several sections. Such blinds are wrapped in a protective box, and the closing process is controlled by an electric drive. It refers to the invisible part of the gate.
Automatic or high-speed roller garage doors can be made from:
Also structurally, entrance roller gates can be mechanical (which open and close with your own hands) and automatic. Each control scheme has its own advantages and disadvantages. With manual control there is no dependence on electricity or drive operation, but at the same time, automation is more convenient in everyday use.
But at the same time, the internal design of the system is practically the same regardless of the type of control. Sectional roller shutters are screwed onto a prismatic shaft. The width of the sides of the prism depends on the size of the lamellas. The shaft is mounted on cantilever rails or carriages. To protect the blades from wear, a special design is installed in which the shaft moves slightly to the side during unwinding.

Industrial and domestic roller gates can be installed in the following ways:
Let's look at how installation is carried out using all the options.
This is how street roller gates with a wicket are most often installed; insulated options for a summer house or garage are installed on the ceiling. At the same time, it should be noted that built-in ones are mounted using the same technology, but with grooved walls and installation of the shaft inside the opening.
For installation on the ceiling, special components will be required: consoles and pendants. Here the installation is not fundamentally different from the overhead method:
Let's consider where you can buy economical roller gates from Doorhan (Dorkhan) with a size of 3000x2500, and what their price is in different cities:
City | Cost, euro | City | Cost, euro |
Almaty | 445 | Bryansk | 430 |
Voronezh | 435 | Ekaterinburg | 445 |
Izhevsk | 430 | Kazan | 445 |
Kyiv | 450 | Krasnodar | 435 |
Kursk | 430 | Lipetsk | 430 |
Minsk | 450 | Moscow | 450 |
Nizhny Novgorod | 445 | Novosibirsk | 435 |
Omsk | 430 | St. Petersburg (SPb) | 445 |
Rostov-on-Don | 430 | Ryazan | 430 |
Samara | 430 | Saratov | 435 |
Tolyatti | 435 | Tula | 430 |
If the sale is made directly from the manufacturer (from a warehouse), then the price of the gate will be an order of magnitude lower. Repair of rolling gates is often carried out by specialists, since if one panel breaks, at least two adjacent panels will need to be replaced.
To protect property located in a garage or warehouse, reliable gates are needed. They should be durable, easy to use, and also blend seamlessly with the exterior. Rolling garage doors are considered the most popular.
roll mechanism
The design of the product consists of lamellas that are rolled up using a mechanism installed in the garage. The principle of their winding corresponds to the operation of roller shutters: a sheet of metal plates is wound onto a shaft located in a box, with the function of protection from external influences.
Slats for the main fabric are made from various materials:
Properties of rolling gates
The product has a number of advantages compared to standard garage doors:
Rolling garage doors do not cause any trouble even at low temperatures, since the outer part of the slats is treated polymer coating, acting as an anti-corrosion layer.
Design safety is an area that manufacturers are working to improve:
Roller shutter operation
Since few understand the intricacies technical specifications products, the cost is usually used as a guideline when purchasing. The most affordable is the basic configuration: standard type of lamellas, minimal dimensions and simple finishing. The choice of other surfaces that imitate various structures significantly increases the price of roller garage doors. Also, more expensive models use a remote control.
The following elements may become more expensive:
All these elements are optional, but make using the gate more convenient.
roller gates with doors
Installation can be carried out in two ways: outside or indoors. You can install garage doors (roller shutters) with your own hands in three main ways:
The first option is considered the simplest. For installation you will need a set of tools: tape measure, hammer, drill, wire cutters, knife, hammer drill, screwdriver and building level. If the building is made of aerated concrete or brick, you will need metal corner, which will eliminate surface unevenness.
The following components must be purchased:
The main fabric consists of narrow profiles connected using a longitudinal hook-lock. At the bottom there is an end piece necessary for a tight fit to the garage floor. A part is installed in the upper part for fixing the blade to the shaft. When choosing a canvas, it is recommended to give preference to aluminum models.
Important! The shaft, tires, casing and transmission should be chosen from the same manufacturer. Only in this case the assembly will be trouble-free.
Rolling gate components
Important! When marking, it is necessary to strictly observe vertical and horizontal positions. The quality of system installation will depend on this.
