Currently, rolling gates are considered one of the most reliable means of protection against penetration of unauthorized persons into the garage, warehouse, hangar, industrial premises.
Roll gates got their name due to the fact that they are rolled up. Their main purpose is to protect door and doorways from unauthorized entry into the room. In fact, they are a type of blinds - shutters. Roll gates consist of lamellas, rolled into a roll and wound on a shaft, which is located in a protective box.
This type of gate has no competitors in terms of comfort and practicality. They can cover openings that are quite large - 5 m or more in width and height.
Key Features
Roll gates are moving lamellas that are wound when the roll is opened onto the shaft. The shaft itself is located in a special protective box. Installation is carried out in two ways:
- Outside the room.
- Indoors This type of installation allows you to ensure maximum security, as it does not have access from the outside.
Automatic rolling gates, as a rule, are used in private garages, trade pavilions, warehouses, to protect shop windows.
The main advantages of rolling gates
- The gates do not take up space. The canvas is folded into a box, which is located at the top of the doorway.
- Rolling gates - good protection of the room from unnecessary eyes, sunlight and such external factors as precipitation and wind. In addition, they save space because they do not need a place to open (they are opened vertically upwards). Such gates have a relatively low cost and a long operational period.
- Rolling fire doors can easily withstand temperature fluctuations, various precipitation and even significant mechanical stresses.
However, the main advantage of rolling gates is their profitability, which is ensured by the simplicity of design, the minimum number of elements, easy installation and a reliable guarantee.
disadvantages
Rolling garage doors have a drawback - the passage is limited in height. However, if the installation of the consignment note, then there are no restrictions on the height and width of the passage.
Dressing
The color of the roller shutter can be very different. If desired, they can be painted in one of the available colors, which will allow the gate to fit into any interior or exterior.
Roll gate control
Rolling gates are most often equipped with an electric drive. For remote control, you can use a special remote control.
How are the rolling gates arranged?
Rolling gates work according to a simple but rather practical system. Their canvas consists of rather narrow plates. This design allows the gate to be both durable and flexible. The movement of the canvas occurs along the guides located on both sides of the opening. Above the opening is a shaft that is driven by a special electric motor. Rolling garage doors open and close automatically. You can control them using the remote control, the size of which is the same as that of the key rings from car alarms. You can open and close such gates without leaving your car, with just one click of a button. In emergency cases (for example, if the power is turned off or the automation failed), they can be opened manually.
The door leaf is made of steel or aluminum profile. Inside it may be a special polymer thermo- and soundproofing filler. Therefore, noise does not penetrate outside and external sounds are not heard inside the garage. The benefit of the insulating property is generally difficult to overestimate. Profile height may vary. It depends on the size of the rolling gates, given that they are very durable and easy to operate.
Steel roll gates have a galvanized surface. Compared to aluminum, they are even more durable.
To arrange the entrance to the store, located inside the shopping center, as a rule, lattice roll gates are installed. The profile of the canvas of this kind is with perforation.
Opening a rolling shutter with an electric drive takes 10-15 seconds.
Installation
Installation of rolling gates with some skills can be done on their own, but errors are not allowed here. The presence of any distortions will necessarily affect the functioning and reliability of this design. Despite their seemingly fragile appearance, the compact rolling gates are actually quite durable and tough. Their installation, even in an unguarded garage, will allow you to be calm about your car. In addition, rolling gates, the price of which is pleasantly pleasing (from 20 thousand rubles), will save not only space, but also time.

- Create any obstacles or stand in the way of the movement of the canvas.
