SeceuroGlide Classic with No Hood woodgrain finish (7 Colour Options) Insulated Roller door garage door Aluminium SeceuroGlide

SeceuroGlide Classic (Original) Insulated Roller Garage Door With Woodgrain Laminate Foil Finishes

The SeceuroGlide Classic, now officially known as the SeceuroGlide Original, is widely regarded as the finest insulated roller garage door manufactured in the UK. Designed by security shutter specialists SWS, it offers exceptional strength, security, and the quietest operation on the market thanks to its patented continuous webbing system.

This specific listing is for the SeceuroGlide Original finished in one of the premium, highly durable Renolit Woodgrain Laminate Foils. If you are looking for the standard solid painted or metallic colours, you can find them on our separate standard colour listing.

The Premium Renolit Foil Finish

While many garage doors offer a basic painted wood effect, the finishes on this door are entirely different. The aluminium slats are wrapped in a high performance Renolit laminate foil. This is the exact same architectural grade material used by the double glazing industry for premium UPVC windows and composite front doors.

This means you can achieve a flawless, coordinated match between your new garage door and your home's existing external joinery. The foil is bonded directly to the aluminium, creating a textured, realistic woodgrain appearance that is incredibly hard wearing, UV resistant, and won't peel or fade in the sun.

Because of the exceptional durability of this material, SWS provides an extended 10 year warranty on the external finish of all Renolit foiled doors (compared to the standard 5 year warranty on painted finishes).

7 Standard Woodgrains With Over 40 More Available

When configuring your door online, you can choose from the 7 most popular Renolit woodgrain finishes directly from the drop down menu:

• Golden Oak
• Rosewood
• Mahogany
• Irish Oak
• Black / Brown
• Anthracite Woodgrain
• White Woodgrain

Looking for a specific match? SWS recently expanded their Renolit collection, meaning there are now over 40 different foil laminates available, including contemporary matt foils and unique solid colour grained textures. If you have a specific window frame colour to match and don't see it in the standard 7, please contact our sales team, we can almost certainly provide it.

Security Built In as Standard

Beyond the stunning finish, this door retains all the heavy duty engineering that makes the SeceuroGlide Original the industry benchmark. It achieves Secured by Design accreditation as standard, meeting the police preferred specification for crime prevention.

• Patented Auto Locking: The door automatically secures itself every time it fully closes. The heavy duty mechanism physically prevents the curtain from being forced up from the bottom.
• Heavy Duty Guides: The side guide rails are made from thick, extruded aluminium to keep the curtain firmly locked in its tracks.
• Galvanised Steel End Plates: The structural end plates holding the barrel are made from galvanised steel, providing a far stronger mounting point than standard aluminium plates.
• 100mm Fluted Axle: A larger, stronger barrel prevents the curtain from bowing across wider spans, increasing overall rigidity.

Motor, Controls, and 7 Year Warranty

Every SeceuroGlide Original is fully automated using the reliable SeceuroDrive tubular motor, which includes a manual override facility for use during power cuts. Both the motor and the SeceuroSense Plus control unit are backed by a comprehensive 7 year warranty.

The SeceuroSense Plus wall mounted control board acts as your internal push button switch and remote receiver. It features a built in LED courtesy light to illuminate your garage when you park, and allows for easy fault diagnosis without needing to remove the casing.

When you configure your door, you will be able to choose two remote control transmitters from a choice of the large tactile Plus handsets, the modern Smooth keyring fobs, or the robust Classic transmitters.

Important Ordering Information for Foiled Doors

Please note that while the external face of the door curtain features the textured Renolit foil, the internal face of the door will always be finished in a standard painted brown or white (depending on the foil chosen).

If you choose to have matching guide rails and a full hood box, these will be supplied in a complementary flat painted finish, not foiled, unless specifically requested and priced as a bespoke extra.

Configuring Your SeceuroGlide Original Online

When ordering your SeceuroGlide Original through our website, you will be guided through a series of straightforward configuration steps to ensure your new door is built exactly to your requirements. Here is how the process works:

1. Sizing and Base Price
First, select your nearest "up to" size for the overall width and overall height from the drop down menus. This establishes your base price. During the final stages of your order, you will be prompted to enter your exact, specific millimetre dimensions into the provided text boxes so the door can be manufactured perfectly to size.

2. Choose Your Curtain Finish
Select from the premium Renolit Woodgrain Foil options for the main door curtain. Please note that the textured foil finish is applied to the external face of the curtain only, while the internal face will be a complementary standard painted brown or white.

3. Choose Your Guide Rail Colour
You can choose to have your side guide rails finished in a flat painted colour to complement your woodgrain curtain, or you can select a contrasting colour to match your window frames or exterior brickwork. The guide rails are not foiled as standard.

4. Select Your Guide Rail Width
The SeceuroGlide Original comes with 75mm extruded aluminium guide rails as standard. However, you will be asked to confirm your guide size:

• 75mm Guides: The standard choice for most domestic garages.
• 90mm Guides: You can manually upgrade to the heavier duty 90mm guides if you prefer. Note: If your door is over 4600mm wide, you must select the 90mm guides, as they are a mandatory structural requirement for doors of that width (supplied at no extra cost).

5. Choose Your Motor and Override Side
Specify whether you want the electric motor and the internal manual override mechanism located on the left hand side or the right hand side. Please note: This is always determined by viewing the door from the inside of the garage looking out.

6. Select Your Fitting Position
Tell us how you are installing the door:

• Internal Face Fit: Fitting to the inside face of the garage pillars (the most common and secure method).
• Between Fit: Fitting within the tunnel of the garage opening.

7. Choose Your Remote Control Transmitters
Every electric SeceuroGlide door comes with two remote controls as standard. You can mix and match from the following styles based on what suits you best:

• Plus Transmitter (3 Channel): The largest handset, featuring large tactile buttons. Excellent for wall mounting using the included holder.
• Smooth Transmitter (2 or 4 Channel): Available in black or white. A sleek, modern fob design perfect for keeping on your car keys.
• Classic Transmitter (2 Channel): The traditional, rugged SeceuroGlide fob design.

8. Additional Controls and Accessories
Finally, you can add optional extras depending on your specific garage layout and daily use:

• Low Level External Manual Release: (Essential) If your roller door is the only way to enter your garage, you must add this lockable external override. It allows you to manually wind the door open from the outside in the event of a power cut.
• Wireless Keypads: For PIN code entry without needing a remote control.
• Surface Mounted Keyswitches: For physical key operation.
• Alarm Systems: An integral alarm system that plugs directly into the SeceuroSense Plus control board.

Ordering and Sizing Guidelines

Pricing for the SeceuroGlide Classic is based on overall door width including side guides and guide height, which is the height from the floor to the underside of the endplates:

• Example Calculation: For a clear daylight opening 2300mm wide x 2200mm high installed on the inside face of the brickwork piers, you need 75mm guides on each side (2300mm + 150mm = 2450mm over guide width) and a 2200mm guide height. For pricing, select the Up to 2600mm width bracket and the Up to 2200mm height bracket.
• Headroom Requirement: Allow 300mm of clear headroom above the guide channels for door heights under 3000mm (300mm endplates), or 350mm of clear headroom for door heights of 3000mm and above (350mm endplates).
• Drive Handing: Motor drive side (left or right, viewed from inside looking out) must be specified when ordering. The manual override eyelet and crank handle exit on the same side as the motor.
• Between Fix Notice: Because this model has no hood enclosure, installing between the opening leaves the rear of the coil exposed inside unless on site cladding is added. Internal face fixing is strongly recommended.

Optional Extras and Automation Upgrades

• Somfy Rollixo Premium IO Drive Package: Upgrades the motor and control unit to the Somfy IO platform, featuring a built in 100dB tamper alarm, high output LED light, real time status feedback, and 2 x Somfy Keygo 4 channel remote handsets.
• Smart App & Home Automation: Connects with Somfy TaHoma switch hubs for smartphone access, remote scheduling, and voice assistant integration when paired with the Somfy Rollixo IO system.
• Integral Control Box Alarm: Plug in acoustic alarm module housed directly inside the standard SeceuroSense Plus control unit.
• External Low Level Manual Release: Keyed external disconnect fitted through the wall with a 7mm hex bar (suits walls up to 500mm thick; extendable on site for deeper reveals). Essential for garages with no separate pedestrian entrance.
• Sloping Bottom Slat: Custom fabricated bottom rail engineered to sit flush against sloping garage thresholds of up to 250mm incline.
• Access Accessories: Wireless external digital keypads, surface mounted key switches, and additional handsets.

SeceuroGlide Original Hardware Assembly Guide

Installing a SeceuroGlide Original is a logical process, but because it is a precision-engineered door, getting the framework square and true is absolutely critical to how well the door will run for the rest of its life.

Here is a practical overview of the main hardware assembly steps. Always refer to the manufacturer’s full installation manual provided with your specific door for exact measurements and fixing requirements.

1. Preparing the Guides and End Plates

Before lifting anything into the opening, prepare the framework on the ground.

• Drill the Guides: You need to pre-drill the fixing holes in the extruded aluminium guide rails. The first and last holes must be exactly 120mm from each end of the guide. The number of intermediate fixings depends on the height of the door, but they should be evenly spaced.
• Assemble the Frame: Slot the heavy-duty galvanised steel end plates into the top of the guide rails. If your door was supplied with the short protective webbing strips in the accessory box, attach these to the end plate fixing plates now—they help protect the curtain as it rolls into the guides.

2. Fixing the Framework and Full Hood Back Panel

Getting the framework perfectly level is the most important part of the entire installation. If the guides are out of plumb, the curtain will crab, the webbing will wear prematurely, and the motor will strain.

• Offer the assembled guides and end plates up to the brickwork (either internally behind the opening or between the opening, depending on your order).
• Prop them securely and use a high-quality spirit level to ensure the guides are perfectly vertical and parallel to each other. Check that the back faces of the guides and end plates sit flush against the wall and are not twisted.
• Fitting the Rear Hood Panel: If you are installing the full hood version, the rear section of the hood box must be secured between the end plates and fixed firmly to the wall or lintel at this stage, before the axle goes in.
• Once you are absolutely certain everything is square, drill through your pre-made holes into the masonry and secure the framework using suitable, heavy-duty fixings. All three fixing points on the end plates must be used.

3. Installing the Axle Assembly

With the framework secure, you can install the barrel.

• Place the roller bracket bearings onto the square bars protruding from the ends of the fluted axle and secure them in place using the provided R-clips.
• Offer the complete axle assembly up to the end plates and slide the roller brackets into the tracking slots on the plates.
• Secure the axle assembly using the supplied bolts to prevent it from moving.

4. Loading the Curtain

Loading the curtain is the heaviest and trickiest part of the job. For all but the smallest doors, this is strictly a two-person task requiring two sets of step ladders.

• Protect the Axle: To prevent the aluminium curtain from getting scratched on the bare axle as you load it, wrap some of the bubble wrap from the packaging around the barrel.
• Lift and Feed: Carefully lift the tightly coiled curtain up level with the axle. Position it over the top of the barrel and gently feed the bottom of the curtain down into the guide rails on both sides.
• Lower Safely: Slowly unroll the curtain and gently lower it until the bottom slat rests on a tool box or a solid block (roughly 250mm tall) positioned between the guides. Never allow the curtain to free-fall unroll over the axle, as the sudden jolt will severely damage the slats and webbing.

5. Securing the Curtain and Front Hood Panel

With the door resting safely on the block, you can attach the top of the curtain to the barrel.

• Slide the patented locking/attachment arms onto the top slat of the curtain.
• Position the unattached end of each arm so that the fixing bar lines up exactly with the locating holes in the locking collars on the axle. (You may need to rotate the axle slightly using the manual override to get the alignment perfect).
• Slide the collars together to lock the arms firmly into the axle.
• Use the manual override to wind the door up slightly so you can remove your resting block, then lower it to fit the bottom physical stops to the bottom slat.
• Fitting the Front Hood Panel: Once the curtain is fully installed, tested, and the motor limits are set, the final step for full hood models is to lift the front aluminium fascia panel into place. Slide it into the retaining channels on the end plates and secure it with the provided fixings to enclose the roll completely, forming the finished hood box.

Industry Leading Warranty Terms

All SeceuroGlide insulated roller garage doors purchased as a supply only offering include a comprehensive manufacturer warranty provided by SWS UK. Standing out as some of the best genuine warranty terms for an electric roller garage door in the UK, this coverage ensures long term peace of mind for your investment. Because the doors are supplied without professional fitting, this is strictly a parts only warranty that covers replacement components but excludes any on site labour costs.

Warranty Coverage By Model

The SeceuroGlide range offers exceptional warranty lengths depending on the specific model and its operating mechanism. Coverage protects against defects in material and workmanship, subject to correct installation, standard operation, and regular maintenance by a trained engineer.

Extended Automation Coverage

To further demonstrate product reliability, an extended 7 year automation warranty applies to the SeceuroDrive motor and SeceuroSense Plus control unit. To activate this industry leading benefit, the customer must register the product online within three months of installation. Please note that the entry level SeceuroGlide LT model carries a standard 5 year automation warranty and is excluded from this extension, and any door supplied with an alternative Somfy motor is capped at a 5 year warranty.

Premium Finish Guarantee

Standard plain colours and painted woodgrain finishes are protected under the baseline 5 year general product warranty. For maximum durability, doors ordered with premium Renolit wood effect finishes, specifically Rosewood, Mahogany, Golden Oak, White, and Black Brown, receive a limited 10 year guarantee covering the slat finish.

Important Exclusions

As a supply only arrangement, specific environmental limitations and product restrictions apply to the warranty coverage. Notably, the highly secure SeceuroGlide Excel model cannot be fulfilled as a supply only order; it must be professionally fitted by a trained installer to retain its certification and warranty.

• Weather and Sunlight: The warranty does not guarantee against water ingress in exposed locations during extreme weather, and thermal expansion on dark coloured doors facing direct sunlight is not considered a manufacturing defect.
• Cosmetic Marking: Standard operational friction may cause unavoidable cosmetic marking on the internal side of the curtain over time, which is explicitly excluded from coverage.
• Coastal Environments: Doors installed in coastal areas face a higher risk of deterioration and require strict adherence to the manufacturer cleaning instructions to maintain valid coverage.

Measuring Guide for SeceuroGlide Insulated Roller Garage Doors

Accurate measuring is essential when ordering any SeceuroGlide insulated roller garage door. Every door in the range is precision manufactured to exact ordering dimensions and made to the millimetre without any tolerance included by the factory. Taking the time to measure correctly will ensure a smooth installation and a perfect fit for your garage opening.

The Most Common Installation Method Internal Face Fit

The first and most important thing to know is that most electric roller garage doors are installed as an internal face fit. By fitting the guide rails to the inside face of your garage wall, you maximise the drive through width and height of your garage aperture. This method also ensures the curtain roll and endplates are neatly tucked away and hidden inside the garage, protecting them from the elements and providing a clean, seamless finish from the outside.

Understanding the Ordering Dimensions

As shown in the image on this page, the two key ordering dimensions for any SeceuroGlide roller garage door are the Over Guide Width and the Guide Height. The Over Guide Width is the total external width of the door including both side guide rails. The Guide Height is the vertical measurement of the visible door opening when the door is fully closed. It is important to note that the endplates and curtain roll sit above the Guide Height, so you must ensure there is sufficient headroom above your stated Guide Height to accommodate these components.

How to Measure Your Garage Opening

• Width: Measure the structural opening width of your garage at a minimum of three points the top, middle and bottom. Record the narrowest measurement.
• Height: Measure the height of your garage opening on both sides and in the centre. Record the shortest measurement.
• Headroom: Measure the available space above the top of your opening inside the garage. The SeceuroGlide Original (Classic)l LT and Excel models require a minimum of 300 mm headroom for doors up to 2500 mm in opening height and 350 mm for doors up to 3500 mm in opening height. The SeceuroGlide Compact requires just 205 mm of headroom. This space is needed for the endplates, curtain roll and any optional hood or fascia.
• Depth: Check there is sufficient depth inside the garage to allow the guides and any fixings to be secured without obstruction. Ensure no pipework, lighting, cabling or shelving will interfere with the guide rails or curtain travel.

Fitting Between an Opening

When installing a SeceuroGlide roller door between a structural opening, you must always allow for your own fitting tolerances. The factory manufactures each door to the exact dimensions you order, with no additional tolerance built in. If you order a door at the precise measurement of your opening, it may not fit. We strongly recommend deducting a suitable allowance from both the width and height measurements to ensure the door can be installed comfortably with room for packing and levelling during installation.

Fitting in Front of the Opening Externally

If you are considering fitting the door to the external face of your garage wall in front of the opening, there will be several other important considerations. External installations require specific components, such as a full box cover to protect the roll, as well as upgraded weatherproofing measures. Additionally, the standard bottom slat transmitter must always be installed internally and cannot be exposed to excessive moisture, meaning a higher IP rated transmitter will be required. Because of these extra requirements and safety considerations, it is best to email or call us directly to discuss your project before placing an order for an external face fit.

Important Tips Before You Order

• Always use a steel tape measure for accuracy and measure in millimetres.
• Check that the wall surfaces and lintel above the opening are flat, plumb and structurally sound enough to support the door and its fixings.
• Ensure any floor surface where the door will close is level. If the floor is uneven, consider the optional SeceuroSeal for improved weather protection at the base of the door.
• If you are unsure about any aspect of measuring, please contact us before ordering. Our team is happy to advise and help ensure you get the correct dimensions for your new door.
