If you are intending to purchase and install the Seceuroglide insulated aluminium roller door then you need to start by making sure you order and specify the right size garage door. The roller door can be installed to the inside face of your opening, inbetween your structural opening or even outside if you have little or no internal headroom.
As all the roller doors are made to order then it is essential you understand the difference in the sizes depending where you intend to install it. The diagram below shows the critical dimensions and terminology to be aware of with either the standard Seceuroglide or the optional Seceuroglide Compact door.

Width Dimensions Explained
The Overall Width is also the reference for the Ordering Width when purchasing a Seceuroglide roller door and is the Drive Through Width plus the aluminium guides on each side which are 75mm each side on a door up to 5200mm total width or 90mm each on a door over 5200mm. You may also order the 90mm guides for any size of door if required and they come as standard on an Excel higher security door. Always remember to add the guide size chosen to the size required inbetween the guides for ordering.
Eg. a 2500mm wide Drive Through Width means adding a further 150mm for the 2 standard 75mm guides giving an Ordering Width size of 2650mm. If you were to order the door with the optional 90mm guides then the ordering size would of course then become 2680mm (2500 + 90mm x 2)
Standard 75mm guide width for the Seceuroglide door up to 5200mm total width.
(All width measurements to include these guides when ordering!)
Larger 90mm guide width is standard for doors 5200mm or wider or optional extra for increased stability in high exposed windy areas.

Height Dimensions Explained
The Guide Height is also the reference for the Ordering Size for a Seceuroglide aluminium roller door.
It is the height of the aluminium side guides that the roller curtain slides in without the endplate size and curtain roll added.
The Total Height is the Guide Height plus the Endplate and roll dimension which is 300mm for a guide height up to 2500mm and 350mm for a guide height over 2500mm -
with a maximum guide height of 3500mm (i.e. Total height available is 3850mm including endplates).
(Click here for table).
e.g. A guide height of 2100mm will have a total height of 2400mm by adding the 300mm endplate size, alternatively a guide height of 3150mm will have a total height of 3500mm by adding the 350mm endplate size. (Click here for table).
3 different endplate sizes
including the Compact.
The Bottom Slat Hangdown is the proportion of the bottom roller slat that hangs down in the opening when fully open and is quite normal on any roller shutter door of any kind. On the Seceuroglide range this is approximately 55mm, therefore your Drive Through Height is the Guide Height less 55mm. If you have a particularly high vehicle then be sure to check dimensions carefully or Email us for confirmation of sizes.
Installation options
Face Fitting Internally (Recommended)
Face fix installation inside the garage is the usual and most useful way of maximising your height and width for drivethrough purposes. The guide rails and end plates fit directly to the brickwork face internally. If you only have a face to fit to one side and a flat wall the other then this also is not a problem as the endplates are completely flush with the guide rails and the roll of the door curtain all contained within.
Inbetween Fitting
Installing the Seceuroglide inbetween requires much more accurate measuring or you will either have to cut brickwork or pack out guides and endplates if you do not get the measurements correct. Remember to either use the narrowest dimension and check how square the opening is or be prepared to cut brickwork.
Quite often it is also possible to install inbetween the brickwork but behind the lintel/RSJ if your lintel is not level with the back of the piers.
The guides will be seen from outside when installing inbetween so be aware of the colour finish if choosing the woodgrain curtain option.
Face Fitting Externally **
Installing the Seceuroglide outside on the face of your structural opening is unusual but useful for:
a/ Maximising width and height if you have restricted headroom or internal sideroom.
b/ Maximising length if you have limited internal length in your garage for your vehicle.
If you do install the roller door externally it is essential to include the full hood option for protecting the curtain roll and the powdercoated guides and endplates to compliment or match the chosen curtain colour. The control box receiver is not waterproof and would still need installing internally.
The manual override facility will have as standard a lockable steel plate fitted to the hood externally or you can order an optional internal low level override which is drilled through the brickwork to be operated from inside (only if you have seperate access to the garage).
**Please note that when installed externally you are viewing the internal side of the curtain roll. The woodgrain laminate options are not recommended in this case as the slats are only laminate woodgrain on othe external side, the other side is brown powdercoat.
Maximum guide height for a Seceuroglide standard 3500mm
Maximum overall width for Seceuroglide = 5400mm
Minimum overall width for Seceuroglide = 1500mm.
