Roller Door Ranges
Types & Sizes of Roller Doors
While easy to forget, given their uniform design and recognisability, not every roller door is the same. Read on below for more information on the different types of roller doors that are readily available for installation.
Roller doors dimensions typically measure with a range of 1.2m – 5.0m wide and 0.9m – 5.2m high. On the condition your garage door opening sits somewhere within these ranges, a roller door can be installed. To simplify this, however, we categorise our garage doors according to their size and their material. These include:
Single Roller Doors
Single Garage Doors, often 2.1 meters high by 2.4 meters wide, are not always designed to fit through a single vehicle but are perfect for personnel and large equipment such as trolleys and lawn mowers.
Double Roller Doors
Double Doors, commonly sized for a space 2.1 meters high and 4.8 to 5.5 meters wide, can substitute a smaller sectional double garage door that would suit a carport designed for two vehicles. We recommend these doors for urban and industrial contexts or when the garage door cost plays a deciding factor in your purchase.
Roller Shutters
There is a common misconception that shutter doors and roller doors are one and the same. Instead they feature markedly dissimilar designs while serving the same purpose with their difference being added security. Roller Shutters are engineered with a series of interconnected horizontal steel slats that are near impenetrable without the help of major blunt force entry. They are incredibly sturdy but also heavy and can only be operated with powerful purpose-built roller shutter openers.
At Eden Roc Garage Doors, we often refer our customers seeking Roller shutters for residential and suburban contexts to purchasing standard roller doors instead due to this misconception.
Insulated Roller Doors
Unfortunately, a roller door cannot be insulated. This is due to the fact that when a roller door is opened the sheet of metal is tightly furled into a cylinder. Adding an insulating material to the door would add too much thickness to the steel which would prevent the door from furling into as tight a cylinder, preventing the door from closing.
If you would prefer an insulated door, it is recommended that you instead explore whether an insulated garage door might be a viable option for you. Panel doors do not furl into a cylinder as roller doors do. Sectional garage doors are instead made from flat panels which you can enhance by adding insulating material added to them without preventing the door closing.
Roller Door Designs
There is not a lot of custom variation in roller door style and aesthetic choices. There is one relatively standard design whose colour is the only changing variable. Roller doors are made from Colorbond steel and as such, your door can be any colour from the Colorbond steel colour range.

Roller Door Brands
There are a number of roller door manufacturers in Australia, but the main three suppliers are:
– Centurion
– B&D
– Steeline
Eden Roc Garage Doors supplies roller doors from Centurion, Steeline, and B&D for home owners right across Perth. In our experience, we have found that all three provide a great product such as reliable, good looking roller doors, for which we have no preference between these manufacturers.
While B&D do provide a ‘standard’ roller door model on par with the quality and style
of Centurion and Steeline, they also provide a series of roller doors which are of higher quality; the Delux Roll-a-Door Range. This design is more heavy-duty, durable and is quieter than their base-level roller door.
They are roughly ~30% more expensive than their standard roller door alternative. However, given the Delux Roll-a-Door is higher quality and has better longevity, if the customer has the budget for the Delux Roll-a-Door, we definitely recommend going with this roller door model.
Roller Door Prices
Roller doors start at around $1,000, but depending on the size and model and choice of roller door opener they can cost up to $6,000. While more costly we often recommend B&D’s Roll-a-door range for its added protection, strength, security and silent operation.

Roller Door Openers
Automatic openers are becoming a standard addition to roller garage doors because of their ease-of-use and brilliant value-for-cost. Here at Eden Roc Garage doors we offer our Western Australian customers a variety of brands and types of roller door openers that’ll suit all of models and environments.
When purchasing a new motor, it is important to correctly pair your motor with the size and weight of your roller door. This is to ensure that the motor is able to easily open and close the door while not being unnecessarily expensive, as the more powerful motors are generally more expensive. It is also important to ensure the motor is not strained as it moves the weight of a door heavier than it is designed to work with.
Which is the Best Roller Door Opener?
Our recommendation is the Merlin SilentDrive range of roller garage door openers. The Merlin SilentDrive range contains a number of motors of varying power that allow us to pair the appropriately powered motor with your door. These motors come with a 7-year warranty, the longest of any motor system on the Australian market and have proven themselves in the field consistently. We install the SilentDrive roller door motors far more than any other roller door motor. We believe they are the best motor on the market today, and with the ability to do away with the classic garage door remote control and be operated from your mobile phone, it’s also one of the most technologically advanced motors.

Roller Door Parts
Roller doors have a number of moving parts which will endure wear and tear. Eventually, these parts will break and require replacement. The most common roller door parts which require replacement are locks, keys and roller door tracks.
Lock & Keys
Roller door lock and keys sit in the middle of the roller door and are used to lock the roller door from the exterior and prevent the door being opened. Lock and keys do vary between roller door models, and if yours does break, the replacement lock will need to be paired to your door. We recommend taking a photo of the lock should it break and provide that image to your garage door part store or technician. They will be able to identify which roller door lock and key will pair with your door and will be able to provide you with the appropriate replacement.
Weather Seals
Preventing unwanted entry of pests, rain, wind, heat, leaves, fire embers and debris – Roller door seals provide you with greater security. Whether it be with a fixed brush or a rubber seal, these added parts can serve to block gaps and small entries in and around the edges of your door to maintain that your garage, shed or storage space remain clean – an integral addition for remote Australian residents.
Roller Door Tracks
Roller door tracks guide the roller door during the opening and closing phases to ensure that the roller door furls and unfurls correctly, preventing damage to the door. The tracks also ensure that it comes to rest in the correct position. When debris is caught within the tracks, this can cause unnecessary friction and wear down the system.
Roller door tracks are also one of the most common roller door parts to acquire rust which will eat away at the tracks. When this occurs, the tracks should be taken out and replaced. Simply by performing a regular visual inspection of the them will help you prevent these issues from occurring. If rust or debris is found on the tracks, clean away the rust with dilute acid and remove the debris.
Track Lubricant
To retain the smooth and silent operation that your Garage door had when it was first installed, be sure to periodically lubricate the tracks. Not all lubricants are made particularly for this purpose however and some will potentially make raising and lowering your door increasingly difficult and therefore dangerous. That is why we recommend only using lubricant specifically designed for use on Garage Door tracks.
Additionally, we recommend that, before use, you wipe and clean away any build up of grime or dust on your tracks. This kind of dirt always builds up faster than you’d expect.
