The most convenient, financially profitable and optimal option to close the entrance hole in the fence are roller shutters, or so-called roller gates. The main advantages of this format are compactness, quick convenient opening and resistance to damage. Modern manufacturers offer various options for protective roller shutters made of various materials, including their installation in a turnkey format.

Design and other features of installing roller shutter doors

The choice of this format is most often due to certain advantages that are worth noting separately. These include minimal installation requirements - such models do not require much effort and time. They provide compactness, since in the open state, energy-efficient gates do not take up much space. And when raised, their aluminum roller shutters roll up into a small roll.

Roller lifting gates cope well with their direct functions - they protect against penetration by strangers, have a simple compact design and do not allow snow, rain, and dirt from the street to get in. In addition, such garage roller shutters have a high level of fire safety. In emergency situations, they open quickly and easily.

Structurally, roller gates provide for the following features:

• the presence of a canvas made of aluminum or other materials with a thickness of up to 20 mm;
• a protective box into which roller shutter slats are wound, which ensures reliability and durability in operation;
• side covers to fix the entire structure and prevent distortions and deformations;
• movable carriages and reinforced consoles on the side covers to reduce loads on the hanging elements;
• guide rail, with which the roller blinds are securely fixed to the desired surface;
• roller shutter control system of manual or automatic format for convenient operation of the gate.

Aluminum profiles are usually used to create the canvas. The main element is made in the form of a roller roll, filled with soft or hard foam. The materials are prepared for installation in the required size in height and thickness. For each individual project, a separate option for dimensional indicators is selected.

Features of roller shutter door control

Gate control is given special importance, and most often this service is also included in the stages of their installation. There are two types of control - manual and automatic gates. The list of manual control elements includes:

• Spring-inertia type mechanism. It allows balancing the canvas due to the spring embedded in the roller shutter shaft. Such options are capable of lifting a weight of up to 100 kg.
• Tape type. Adjustment is carried out using a rope or a special tape that is wound on the stacker. This option is recommended for roller shutters weighing up to 20 kg.
• Gate. This system includes a gate drive, which is located on the roller shutter shaft and the gate itself. Similar designs are capable of lifting a weight of up to 35 kg.
• Cord type. In terms of the principle of operation and composition, it resembles a rope control, but differs in more durable components, having a steel cable and a cord stacker. It can easily lift roller shutters weighing up to 80 kg.

Automatic gates can be equipped with an electric drive or an NHK drive system. The first option is considered the most popular, the second provides for opening the gate even in the event of a power outage - the emergency unlocking option will help solve the problem of opening the gate.

Turnkey rolling gates: why is it so important?

Another significant advantage of such gates is their quite affordable cost. The final price of the project will depend on the type of control and the brand of the selected material. It is advisable to entrust the installation of such a structure to professional workers who are well versed in the specifics of this work. Most often, they recommend a turnkey service that includes the following stages:
