Samson SRD55 Compact 55 mm Insulated Electric Roller Garage Door

The Samson SRD55 is our compact, 55 mm insulated electric roller garage door, developed specifically for smaller garages where high‑end security is not the main priority and simplicity is. It is a Samson‑branded solution for customers who want a neat, reliable, great‑value roller door from a specialist they can trust.

Designed for garages used on foot – not by car

Most UK garages are no longer used to park a car, with around two‑thirds now used mainly for storage, hobbies or as utility space. If you always access your garage on foot and never drive a vehicle in, you simply do not need remote controls for your electric garage door.

With the Samson SRD55, the standard setup is deliberately simple and practical:

• Wall‑mounted internal rocker switch as standard for everyday use.
• Optional internal control board with clear Up/Down buttons.
• Optional external key switch so you can operate the door from outside without a handset.

You just press and hold the button or turn and hold the key for the full open/close movement, which keeps the controls intuitive, avoids unnecessary electronics and reduces the cost and complexity compared with typical remote‑control systems.

If you do decide you want remote operation, you can still upgrade easily to our Teleco remote control unit, with two hand transmitters and an optical safety edge for convenience and current safety compliance.

Compact insulated roller door from Samson

This superb Samson electric aluminium roller door is offered in three of our most popular UK trend colours, all at the same price, making it one of the best‑value compact roller doors in our range when you just need a single size, simple and reliable door. It uses high‑quality 55 mm double‑skinned insulated curtain sections in a compact roll design, providing a neat, space‑saving solution for single‑width garages.

The 55 mm slat we specify for the Samson SRD55 is of a higher quality than many similar doors on the market, which is why it can be ordered up to 3000 mm wide. High‑quality internal components also set this Samson model apart from cheaper alternatives, giving smooth, consistent operation and long‑term reliability.

Flexible fitting for low headroom garages

The Samson SRD55 is supplied as a compact, full‑hood or half‑hood specification (depending on version), making it ideal for garages with limited headroom. You do not have to have 205 mm of headroom to install this door.

• Simply calculate your ordering height using the total height you do have and deducting the hood/endplate size.
• The half or full hood gives you a built‑in fascia to cover the roll where it hangs down in view.

This means that even if you do not have full headroom or side room, you can still have a Samson roller garage door. The hood neatly protects the roll and provides a clean, finished appearance whether the door is fitted under the lintel or to the inside or outside face of the opening. If fitting externally, you can specify a lockable cover plate for the emergency manual release.

Simple, robust Samson control system

The Samson SRD55 is powered by a single‑phase 240 V internal tube motor, chosen for reliability and straightforward installation. As standard, the door is supplied with:

• Internal wall‑mounted rocker switch for simple open/close control.
  

You can upgrade to:

• Internal wall‑mounted control board with clear Up and Down buttons.
• External key switch to add secure outside operation.

Operation is “hold‑to‑run”: you hold the button or key for the duration of travel. This avoids the need for photocell beams or complex safety edge systems in the basic configuration, keeping the setup compliant, uncomplicated and easy to install and commission. For those who prefer remote control, the Samson‑specified Teleco system adds two hand transmitters and an optical safety edge while keeping everything fully compliant and user‑friendly.

A straightforward Samson solution

The Samson SRD55 is a straightforward, no‑nonsense, high‑quality, compact electric aluminium roller garage door for customers who do not need high‑specification security features or complex remote systems. It is designed as a reliable, efficient solution with:

• Compact 55 mm insulated curtain.
• Quality slats and components.
• Simple, sensible control options to suit garages used on foot.
• The option to add remote control if required.

Backed by a 2‑year warranty as standard, the Samson SRD55 gives you a branded, specialist roller door solution that focuses on what most single‑garage users actually need: neat looks, dependable operation and uncomplicated controls.

Domestic garage doors in single width sizes up to 3000mm wide. Light commercial use.

Specific specification for anyone who doeson need remote controls for operation. If your garage is enterd always on foot from an internal door or from the outside as it is detached, then remote control perhaps doesn't make sense? Use an internal rocker switch or external key switch, or both and do away with the complexities of remote control and the safety devices required to comply with UK law.
