Roller Shutter Door Manufacturing in Benoni

Typical response: Typical lead time 2–3 weeks

We manufacture the roller shutter doors we install, which is why a Benoni order gets built to the opening instead of trimmed to fit one. Openings here are rarely standard. Apex carries industrial buildings that have been in service for decades, the smallholdings run agricultural openings that were never built to any catalogue size, and the retail units are never the size the drawing claims.

Roller shutter doors manufactured for Benoni sites

Curtain, guides, barrel, bottom rail and drive are specified together, from the opening size and the duty the door has to carry. Nothing is decided by what happened to be in stock.

• Curtain gauge and profile chosen for span, wind load and cycle count.
• Guide depth set so a knocked curtain stays in its channel.
• Barrel and shaft sized on deflection across the actual span.
• Drive matched to the duty, from manual chain to three-phase tube and side motors.

Doors for the Apex industrial belt

Apex and Benoni South carry engineering, manufacturing and warehousing, much of it in buildings that predate the current door profiles entirely. We measure what is actually there, assess the structural steel around the opening as part of the job, and build a door to suit the building in its present condition rather than the one on the original drawing.

Doors for smallholdings and stables

Benoni Small Farms, Brentwood Park and Putfontein run a great deal of equestrian and agricultural building: stables, feed stores, tack rooms, implement sheds and nurseries. Those openings are wide, dusty, often without three-phase, and they are used around animals. We build for the span and the dust, and we specify quiet, controlled operation because a door that bangs is a door that spooks a horse.

Coating and corrosion near the water

Benoni sits among its lakes and the humidity shows in the doors. On sites near Homestead Lake, Kleinfontein, Rynfield Dam and the low ground around them, we specify a heavier galvanising and coating than we would inland, and better hardware to go with it. It costs a little more once instead of a repair every second year.

Materials and finishes

Galvanised steel is the working default. Aluminium, perforated and transparent curtains are built for the retail frontages at Lakeside Mall, Northmead and the CBD trading streets, where the window has to keep working after closing.

Measuring and manufacturing lead times

We measure on site. A drawing measurement is a starting point, not a manufacturing instruction. Standard galvanised doors run two to three weeks from approved measurements; fire-rated units, insulated curtains and specials run longer, and we say so before you commit.

Quality control before a door leaves

Every door is assembled and cycled before dispatch. Guides checked for parallel, curtain checked for tracking, drive run through its limits. Finding a fault in the workshop costs an hour; finding it on site costs a day and your goodwill.
