SeceuroDoor 75 (22g) Chain Driven Industrial Shutter
The SeceuroDoor 75 (22g) Chain Drive represents the most popular industrial roller shutter specification in the UK market. It combines the industry-standard 22 gauge (22swg) galvanised steel curtain with a premium, heavy-duty GfA 3-phase electric motor.
This configuration offers the perfect balance of value and performance. While the curtain remains lightweight enough for standard commercial openings, the upgraded industrial motor ensures longevity, reliability, and the ability to handle frequent daily operation cycles that would burn out lesser single-phase motors.
Standard Construction (22 Gauge)
Designed for the majority of commercial and light industrial applications, this door features a tried-and-tested curtain specification:
- Curtain Material: 22 Gauge (approx. 0.7mm) Galvanised Steel.
- Profile: 75mm traditional scrolled lath.
- Suitability: Ideal for standard height openings where the extreme rigidity of a 20-gauge curtain is not required.
- Finish: Supplied in natural galvanised steel as standard (guides and endplates included), providing a durable, rust-resistant finish.
The GfA Advantage (3-Phase Power)
Unlike budget shutters that use tubular motors, this door is powered by a GfA 415V 3-Phase Industrial Chain Drive Motor. This puts industrial-grade reliability at the core of your security:
- High Frequency Use: The 3-phase motor is designed for "medium to high" usage, allowing for significantly more operations per day than a standard single-phase door.
- Smooth Operation: The chain drive system delivers consistent torque, reducing strain on the door components and extending the lifespan of the shutter.
- Manual Override: Includes a haul-chain manual override system, allowing the door to be easily operated by hand during power failures.
Installation Requirements
This door is designed for a Traditional Internal Face Fit, typically mounting behind the structural opening to a steel or masonry frame.
Motor Positioning
The industrial motor is substantial and is typically installed in an "outboard" configuration (projecting beyond the guide width).
Important: Please ensure you have sufficient side room on the drive side to accommodate the motor unit. While chain drives offer some flexibility, checking the sideroom dimensions is critical for these industrial units.

Motor Control and Operation Options
This door is powered by a high-torque GfA 3-Phase (415V) Chain Drive Electric Motor. We offer three distinct control logic options to suit your site's safety requirements and operational style:
1. Hold-to-Run (Basic / 'Deadman')
The most economical control method, ideal for sites with strictly controlled access.
- Operation: The user must press and physically hold the button on the internal wall station. The door stops immediately if the button is released.
- Safety: As the operator is present and controlling the movement, additional safety edges are not legally required.
- Note: This method requires a separate pedestrian door for building access, as the shutter cannot be operated from the outside.
2. Impulse Operation (Standard Automatic)
Designed for convenience, allowing "one-touch" automatic operation via a wall-mounted control panel.
- Operation: A single momentary press of the 'Up' or 'Down' button fully opens or closes the door.
- Safety Compliance: Includes a mandatory Safety Edge on the bottom rail. This sensor detects obstructions and automatically reverses the door to prevent injury or damage.
3. Remote Control (Advanced)
The standard solution for vehicle access and busy logistics areas.
- Operation: Offers full automatic operation via handheld radio remotes (2 supplied as standard) or the wall control panel.
- Safety Compliance: Includes the mandatory Safety Edge system.
- Recommendation: For doors opening near public footpaths or high-traffic zones, we strongly recommend adding Infra-Red Photocells as a secondary non-contact safety device.
Finish and Colour Options
The standard finish for this door is Natural Galvanised Steel, which provides a tough, industrial zinc coating. For enhanced aesthetics, the following options are available:
- Powdercoat Finish: A polyester powder paint applied to both sides of the curtain slats. This is the best option if you require a specific colour match on the internal face.
- Plastisol Finish: A high-performance leather-grain coating applied to the external face only (internal face is standard primer). This provides superior weather resistance for external applications.
Note: Custom colour matching and mixed specifications (e.g., painted curtain with galvanised guides) are available on request.
Quality and Compliance
All SeceuroDoor commercial roller shutters are manufactured in the UK to strict quality and safety standards.
- Compliance: Fully CE or UKCA marked. Purchasing compliant products is a legal requirement for commercial use in the UK.
- Manufacturing: Produced within an ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified facility.
- Fit: Made to measure as standard for a perfect fit.
- Components: Built using only high-grade steel components and genuine GfA electric drives.

Measuring and Ordering Guide
Important: Unlike domestic roller doors, the pricing and ordering dimensions for industrial electric shutter doors are based on the Opening Width (Daylight Opening) and the Guide Height. Please read the definitions below carefully.
Ordering Width = The Daylight Opening Width (The clear distance between the guides)
Ordering Height = The Guide Height (The distance from the floor to the underside of the endplate)
1. Understanding Widths and Side Room
While the Ordering Width is measured between the guides, you must ensure you have sufficient side room for the operation mechanism at high level. The overall width at the top of the door (where the endplates and motor are fitted) will be wider than the guide width.
- Endplate Width: The mechanism extends past the guides on both sides.
- Motor Arrangement: The total width depends on whether you choose an Inboard or Outboard motor setup.
- Drive Side Clearance: An outboard electric motor requires significantly more side room than the non-motor side. This varies depending on whether a chain drive or direct drive motor is specified.
- Manual Override: The emergency manual override is standardly located on the same side as the motor, accessed directly underneath the endplate. (Alternative positions available on request).
2. Headroom and Endplates
The size of the endplates (and therefore the headroom required) is not fixed; it varies depending on the specific door model and the total height of the door. Taller doors require a larger roll of curtain, which necessitates larger endplates.
Installation Methods
Traditional build roller shutter doors use steel guides and angle profiles. These can be specified to suit different fixing locations.
Face Fit - Behind the Opening (Recommended)
This is the standard installation method for traditional industrial doors. The guides are fixed to the inside face of the wall.
- Sizing: In a perfect scenario, your Daylight Opening dimensions equal your Ordering Width (between guides) and Ordering Height (under endplate).
- Hangdown Warning: Please be aware that ALL roller shutters have a degree of 'hangdown' (the bottom slat remains visible in the opening) even when fully open. This makes the final drive-through height slightly lower than the Guide Height.
- Critical Heights: If your drive-through height is critical, please speak to us first so we can advise on the best Ordering Height to ensure full clearance.
Reveal Fit - Between the Opening
It is possible to install these doors between the structural opening (within the reveal), although this is generally better suited to tube motor doors where components are contained within the barrel.
- Challenges: Industrial motor-driven models have bulky motors and components at the ends. To fit these between an opening, additional steel work/angles are usually required to create a sub-frame.
- Width Reduction: Installing between the opening will significantly reduce your drive-through width due to the guides and motor mechanism taking up space within the aperture.
