GDO Roll77 Roller Door Features
GDO ROLL 77 is our latest 2026 range of insulated, double skinned 77mm electric aluminium roller garage doors, designed to give you the widest choice of control options for almost any garage and house.
Instead of one “standard” roller door, we offer a full family of GDO ROLL 77 models so you can choose how you want to control your door:
- Simple wall button control when you mainly enter the garage on foot.
- Key switch access from outside without needing a handset.
- Remote control handsets for easy drive‑in, drive‑out convenience.
- Smartphone app control with Somfy smart home integration.
Many garages in the UK are no longer used for parking a car and are often accessed on foot. In those cases, remote controls are not always essential, and a simple push button or key switch is often the most practical and cost‑effective solution.
With GDO ROLL 77 you simply pick the control style that matches:
- How you use the garage – storage, gym, workshop, or car parking.
- Who needs access – household members, trades, deliveries.
- The level of convenience and smart features you want now and in future.
Our Somfy‑controlled models add reliable remote control and smart features, backed by a 5 year warranty on the Somfy equipment as standard, with options ranging from simple handsets through to alarmed, app‑controlled systems with auto‑close and lighting.
The Smartphone‑controlled roller doors integrate with an easy Somfy app, allowing multiple smartphones to control the door and other Somfy‑compatible products in your home – a great way to future‑proof your garage and wider property.

Remote control GDO ROLL 77 doors are the obvious choice when you keep your vehicle in the garage. Both remote models can also be used with wall‑mounted controls such as a button switch, external key switch, or even a digital keypad.
The standard remote control door uses Somfy Rollixo Optimo for the control interface and comes with 2 handsets plus an internal wireless wall switch. The Premium model uses a Somfy control panel with enhanced features including an alarm and courtesy light, and all Somfy equipment is supplied with a 5 year warranty as standard.
Both systems can be upgraded at any time with smart control equipment, and additional control options are available for further enhancement.
