About our company

Manufacture, installation, motorisation, servicing and repair

Roller Door South Africa manufactures the doors it installs. Curtains, guides, boxes and bottom rails are produced at our own works under an ISO 9001:2015 approved quality system and fitted by our own installation teams rather than subcontracted. Every door is built to the opening our technician has measured, and the gauge and coating are specified for the conditions the door will operate in. Salt-laden air, wash-down areas, cold rooms, heavy forklift traffic and quiet residential driveways all affect a door differently, and specifying correctly at quotation stage is considerably cheaper than replacing early. Where the original hardware is no longer produced we fabricate replacement guides and bottom rails to profile rather than replace a sound door.

Our services cover manufacture, installation, motorisation, maintenance and repair. We supply and fit roller shutter doors, security, perforated, galvanised and fire-rated shutters, industrial and warehouse doors, and all types of garage door. Motorisation and automation are carried out with the operator sized to the finished door weight rather than inherited from the previous installation, and manual release and battery backup are fitted where required. We also provide scheduled servicing and maintenance contracts, spares and replacement parts, and safety and compliance inspections, and we operate a 24-hour emergency repair service on any make of door, including doors installed by others.

All work is quoted in writing before it begins. Site surveys are free, and the quotation itemises the door, the operator, the installation and any preparation required so that each cost is clear. The quoted figure is fixed once the work is approved. Where a repair is a realistic alternative to replacement we quote both and give our recommendation. Workmanship carries a twelve-month warranty and the terms are supplied with the quotation. We have more than twenty years in the trade, and our Gqeberha team works the metro daily, so a survey is normally booked within a day or two and a breakdown attended the same day.

What we make

A roller shutter door for every opening in Gqeberha

Every door is built to the opening we measure and to the exposure it faces — the same shutter is specified differently for a Coega bay and a Summerstrand garage.

Industrial Roller Shutter Doors

Struandale, Deal Party, Markman, Coega

Heavy-duty galvanised shutters for the automotive belt and the IDZ, built to the cycle count and to the wind load, with openings to 8 000mm.

  • Openings to 8 000mm wide
  • 0.8mm–1.2mm galvanised slat
  • Chain hoist or motorised

Commercial Roller Shutter Doors

Beachfront trade and CBD frontages

Shutters for shopfronts and hospitality premises from Humewood to Newton Park, coastal-finished and quiet enough to close behind a trading street.

  • Sized to your actual cycle count
  • Powder-coated to brand colour

Security Roller Shutter Doors

Cash offices, stock rooms, wholesale premises

Heavy-gauge security shutters with anti-lift locking and corrosion-resistant hardware, so the security specification is not undone by rust in two seasons.

  • Anti-lift bottom rail with bolts
  • Alarm and access control integration

Residential Roller Shutter Doors

Summerstrand, Bluewater Bay, Walmer

Garage doors for coastal homes in galvanised or aluminium, because painted mild steel within sight of Algoa Bay is a short-term saving.

  • Insulated aluminium, quiet running
  • Battery backup for load shedding

Fire-Rated Roller Shutter Doors

Plant compartments and IDZ facilities

Certified fire-rated shutters for compartment walls, plant rooms and stores, supplied with the drop-test documentation the facility file needs.

  • Fail-safe gravity descent, no power needed
  • Fire panel integration and drop testing

Perforated Roller Shutter Doors

Airflow where an open bay is impractical

Perforated curtains that let a building breathe while staying closed, which matters here because the wind makes a standing-open bay unworkable.

  • Punched galvanised slat, mixed options
  • Openings to 6 000mm wide

What we do after the sale

Roller shutter and garage door services in Gqeberha

Repairs, servicing, motorisation and compliance checks across Nelson Mandela Bay, on doors we built and on doors we did not.

How a job runs

From your first call to the handover

Six steps, no surprises in the middle of them.

You call or send the opening size

A width and height starts it. Tell us how exposed the opening is and how far it sits from the sea, because both change the specification.

We survey the site

We measure the structural opening, check headroom and side room, and look at what salt and wind have already done to the frame and fixings.

You get a costed quote

Itemised: door, motor, installation and any corrosion or fixing work the opening needs first, so nothing appears afterwards as an extra.

We manufacture

Built at our own works to the measured opening, with the galvanising, coating and wind retention this coastline actually needs.

We install and hand over

Fitted by our own team, limits set, safety devices tested and the manual release shown to whoever closes up at night.

We service it afterwards

Serviced on a coastal interval afterwards, because salt and wind take a door apart faster than ordinary use ever does.

Before you call

The questions we are asked most

Price follows the opening size, the slat specification, and whether the door is manual or motorised. A single domestic garage door sits at the bottom of the range; a wide motorised industrial shutter with wind locks and safety devices sits at the top, and the gap between them is large. We quote per opening after a site survey rather than publish a figure that turns out to be wrong for your building. Send us the width and height and we can usually give you a budget range on the phone.

For a standard door on a straightforward opening, expect roughly two to four weeks from accepted quote to installed door. The survey happens within a few days of your call, the quote follows within one working day of measuring, and manufacture takes the bulk of the remaining time because each door is built to your measured opening rather than pulled from stock. Fire-rated doors and unusual sizes take longer. If you have a hard deadline, say so upfront and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet it.

All of them. We cover all 27 Gqeberha suburbs: Gqeberha Central, North End, South End, Humewood, Summerstrand and 22 more. Because we work Gqeberha daily rather than driving in for a booking, a survey and a callout are usually the same trip rather than two.

Across greater Gqeberha and Nelson Mandela Bay we aim for same-day attendance on emergency breakdowns, and our standby number is answered around the clock on 082 333 9999. Our standby vehicles carry the components that fail most often, so a large share of breakdowns are fixed on the first visit. Where a door cannot be fully repaired on the spot, we secure the opening before leaving so you are not left with an open building overnight.

Yes, and most of our service work is exactly that. We repair and maintain all common makes of roller shutter, sectional and high-speed door on South African sites, and we stock or can source the usual wear parts. Where a component is proprietary and genuinely no longer available, we tell you immediately rather than stringing out repairs on a door that cannot be kept going. Send a photo of the door and the motor plate and we can often identify what is needed before anyone travels out.

Every motorised door we install has a manual override, so you are never locked in or out when the power goes. Beyond that we can fit a battery backup that keeps the door operating normally through an outage, typically for dozens of cycles before it needs mains power again. Mention load shedding when we quote and we will include the backup priced as a separate line so you can decide. On commercial sites where trucks need to keep moving, it is usually worth it.

A roller shutter door curls the curtain around a barrel above the opening, so it needs almost no ceiling space behind the lintel. A sectional door lifts panels flat against the ceiling on horizontal tracks, which needs several metres of clear headroom but seals better and insulates better. If your building has low headroom, obstructions above the opening, or services running across the ceiling, a roller shutter is usually the only option. Where headroom allows and thermal performance matters, a sectional door may be the better door. We will tell you which suits your opening at the survey.

A well-specified industrial roller shutter door that is serviced regularly will run for well over a decade, and often considerably longer. The limiting factor is usually the spring assembly, and spring life is measured in cycles rather than years — a loading bay door opened forty times a day wears out far faster than a store room door opened twice. This is exactly what a service contract is for: springs and limit switches are replaced on a planned visit at a fraction of what the same work costs at 22:00 on a Sunday with a truck waiting.

Doors are manufactured to your measured opening rather than to stock sizes, up to roughly 8 000mm wide depending on the slat gauge and drive selected. Unusual openings, non-square openings and awkward headroom are normal work for us — in fact most replacement jobs involve an opening that is not quite square, which is why a door cut down from a standard size tends to leave gaps at the guides that let in rain and dust. Send the width and height and we will confirm what is achievable.

Talk to a person

Send us the opening size. We are in the bay every day.

A width and height is enough to price it, and tell us how exposed the opening is — wind and distance from the sea change the specification more than anything else here. Surveys are free across Nelson Mandela Bay.
