Roller Shutter Door Sizes

A guide to roller shutter door sizes and dimensions in South Africa, and how to measure your opening for a quote.

Roller Shutter Door Sizes and Dimensions

There is no single standard roller shutter door size, because most openings are slightly different. That is why Affordable Group makes every door to measure. However, the table below shows common opening sizes in South Africa as a starting point.

OpeningTypical size (width x height)
Single garageabout 2.45 m x 2.1 m
Double garageabout 4.9 m x 2.1 m
Shopfrontvaries, usually 2 m to 6 m wide
Warehouse or loading bayvaries, made to measure

These are common openings only. Every door we make is built to your exact measurements.

Measure the width

Measure the opening between the walls at the top, middle and bottom. Then use the smallest figure.

Measure the height

Measure from the floor to the underside of the lintel on both sides, and use the smallest figure.

Check the headroom

The door rolls up into a barrel above the opening. Therefore, measure the space between the lintel and the ceiling.

Check the side room

The guides need space next to the opening on both sides. Measure the wall space on the left and right.
