We manufacture the roller shutter doors we install, which is why a Boksburg order gets built to the opening instead of trimmed to fit one. Openings here are rarely standard. The warehousing through Jet Park was built to whatever each freight operator needed, and the older engineering buildings in Anderbolt and Boksburg North have openings that have moved since the drawing was made.
Roller shutter doors manufactured for Boksburg 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 for the Jet Park freight corridor
Jet Park runs courier depots, freight forwarders and distribution warehousing alongside the airport cargo traffic, and a lot of it operates around the clock. Doors on those bays cycle constantly, so we build them with heavier curtains, deeper guides and drives rated on measured cycles rather than on opening width. Where a cold chain runs through the building, the curtain is insulated and sealed properly.
Materials and finishes
Galvanised steel is the working default and takes the East Rand weather and the grit off the old mining ground without complaint. Aluminium, perforated and transparent curtains are built for the retail frontages around East Rand Mall, Ravenswood and the Boksburg trading strips, where the window has to keep working after closing.
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.
Replacement roller shutter doors for existing openings
Most Boksburg work is replacement rather than new build, which means working around structure that already exists: the steelwork, the headroom and the power already in place. We survey what is in front of us and build the door to suit it, which is nearly always cheaper than rebuilding the opening to suit a stock door.
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 Boksburg
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.
