GDO Roll 55 Electric Button Control Half Hood (15 Colour Options) Insulated Roller door garage door Aluminium GDO

NEW from GDO, this simple, high quality, electric aluminium roller garage door is designed for single width garages and when you are not bothered about remote controls and all the electronics that go with it. This roller door is best used where you have a separate pedestrian access door to the garage or the garage is integral to the house so access to the internal controls is guaranteed and part of the daily routine for entry and exit when using the door.

GDO insulated roller doors are manufactured in the UK by the leading garage door supplier SWS/ AlluGuard. Their decades of manufacturing experience ensure only the highest quality materials and production techniques are used, whilst the simplified design helps keep costs as competitive as possible.

A hold to run wall mounted switch as standard gives you the door control internally and you can also have an external keyswitch for operating the door from outside if required (hard wired) when ordered with the optional control panel for internal operation. The Genesis wall mounted control system dimensions are 140mm h x 120mm w x 50mm d.

Made to measure sizes up to a maximum width of 3000mm including the guides either side.
Maximum height is 2225mm plus the height of the roll and endplates which is 205mm

Available in 3 very popular and striking colours with white guides and hood when ordered.
Optional 12 premium colour finshes at small surcharge.

The door also has an internal manual winding handle system to operate in the event of a power failure. This facility is incorporated into the motor drive so is always the same side as the motor side.

The ‘half hood’ version of this roller door has a folded aluminium hood cover which forms a front facia when fitting behind or inbetween any opening to give a neat finish and better sealing when closed. The full hood version just gives even more protection all round by fully enclosing the curtain roll. The hood cover is fitted to the endplates on either side of the roller barrel which the curtain rolls around.

Domestic or light commercial applications.

The GDO ROLL 55 is manufactured from high quality 55mm deep double skinned aluminium slats with a foam filled insulated core. It is a made to measure, 240V, electric tube motor operated, roller garage door, manufactured to the exact millimetre in width and height as standard.

The door is electrically operated as standard and incorporates an internal emergency manual release in case of a power failure. This is a winding handle process using a winding handle provided attaching via a hook to the eye of the motor drive. This can be specified as either on the left or right as viewed from inside the garage (same side as motor).

The curtain of this door rolls around a steel barrel which is supported either side by steel endplates which have a dimension of 205mm x 205mm, which is the headroom required if you wish to hide the roll. Always allow for a maximum 50mm of curtain ‘hang down’ when the door is opened if the opening height is critical to you. This is the same on all roller garage doors.

The guide height as used for ordering size, does not included the endplate size above it and the loss of drive through height with the bottom slat hang down when open.

Door guides either side are 60mm wide and 34mm deep and the door is ordered using the ‘OVERGUIDE’ width from the curtain and guides combined.  These newly updated guides feature brush seals making the door quieter and improve the seal against the weather.

The door can be fitted BEHIND or INBETWEEN the structural opening as required, but always check you have order the correct dimensions to take into account the guides and endplates (full hood cover, if ordered, is the same dimensions)

Full installation details are provided with each door.

This is one of the simplest roller doors to install due to not having remote control and safety sensors to adjust and set up.

PLEASE NOTE:  In April 2024 the guides for all GDO Roll 55 doors changed from a previously supplied 66mm guide to 60mm guides. This will affect the ordering size of your door, please contact us if we can help with any clarification on previously quoted doors. 

Ordering sizes are the Over Guide Width (OGW) x Guide Height (GH).

Doors have 60mm wide guides*

These measurements are correct for behind fit installations, please contact us for guidance inbetween fit installations.

Clear opening height = guide height - 50mm (to allow for the bottom slat hand-down into the guide). The 205mm endplates incorporating the motor and barrel are to be added onto the guide height to give your total height required (Overall Height)
