Garage Roller Door 🚪 Installation 🛠️ Guide
--
PART 1: Measuring
1. Measure the width of the opening (between the columns)
2. Mark the center of the opening
3. Use the center point and mark-out the daylight opening of the door
4. This is not the roller door width, as you need to subtract the tracks widths
PART 2: Door Jambs
1. Align the door jamb with the mark on the ground
2. Place a mark where the jamb intersects rafter
3. Extend the mark using combination square
4. Cut along the lines
5. Ensure the jamb is level and on the marked concrete line
6. Tek the jamb on to the rafter
7. Step drill and then bolt
8. Tek the side girts on to the jamb
9. Repeat steps for the other side
PART 3: Footings
1. Tek the roller door footing brackets on to the door jambs
2. Measure & mark 100mm (can differ) from the slab edge
3. Drill the hole for the anchor bolt
4. Hammer in the anchor bolt
5. Tighten using a rattle gun
PART 4: Header
1. Mark the height of the roller door on to the door jambs
2. Tek the header brackets above the mark on the door jamb
3. Tek the header beam on to the header brackets
PART 5: Bracket Arms
1. Measure the radius of the door
2. Use the door radius to place a mark above the header beam
3. Tek the bracket arm in to place
4. Step drill a bolt hole
5. Bolt in to place
6. Ensure brackets are bolted securely. If done incorrectly, it is extremely hazardous
PART 6: Tracks
1. Bend up the track ends, to prevent the door from catching on them
2. Mark the track height
3. Cut to length
4. Attach track brackets
5. Tek the tracks on to the jambs
PART 7: Installing the Door
1. A duct lift is the recommended way to lift a roller door into place
2. If the door is low, muscle can also be used to lift it in to place
3. Screw the roller door in to place
4. Tighten
5. Unwrap the roller door
PART 8: Lock
1. Step drill holes for the lock
2. Check if the door locks, file the holes if it does not
3. Test the lock
DISCLAIMER
A roller door is the largest moving object in a shed. It is dangerous and critical that installation is done correctly.
If you are unsure about anything, we recommended asking a professional to install it instead.
Please take care when installing a roller door and triple check everything.
We take no responsibly for injuries, damage or incorrectly installed doors as a result of the contents in this video.

Do It Yourself (DIY) Shed Kits
If you would like to reduce costs associated with the build of your shed, we have supply only options. This can include pick up or delivery of your kit. 
How to Build a Shed Videos
To better help our customers build their sheds, we have created a series of diy shed building videos. Let us know if you have any questions or have a video request.
User Friendly Design
Designed by an engineer who has personally built well over 100 sheds, and in doing so, worked out the best way to design sheds that are user-friendly to build. We have used our experience from building sheds, to gradually refine our shed kits, making them easier to build. The end result of this refinement is a shed kit that is marginally harder to make, but much quicker to build.
Easier to Assemble, “Like Lego”
It is essential for businesses to have a goal. We decided that ours would be to make sheds that are easier to assemble on site. Putting more emphasis and care into the manufacturing phase reduces mistakes and results in less time spent on site.
What Makes Our Shed Kits Easier to Assemble?
Our shed kits use bolted connections instead of tek screws, even on our smaller sheds. We do still use teks for sheeting, to ensure that they are watertight.
- Largely Bolted together
- Purlins bolted to rafters
- Girts bolted to columns
- Less reliance on teks holding the structure together
- Bolt holes are pre-punched, minimising the need for constant measuring and reducing mistakes
To Your Unique Requirements
Your requirements and ideas are different. Seldom do two customers need the exact same shed, which is why Roys Sheds communicates with you, understands your unique requirements, and ensures that they are met.
Visualise Your Vision
To accomplish our customers’ vision, we have created a custom, in-house, interactive 3D shed design software that allows us to virtually design your shed. This ensures that our customers’ requirements are met, understood, and offers the opportunity to easily change the design. Click here to try the 3D shed designer
Structural Grade Steel
A Roys Shed is composed of structural grade steel, providing the strength to last. We only source quality materials and always use a qualified engineer to review all of our designs.
We Are Registered Builders
Roys Sheds has gone through the process of becoming a registered builder to uphold the standards conveyed by the Building Commission of Australia (#101219). This allows us to better assist our clients, offer advice and use our expertise to supply and build sheds.
