Seceurodoor Steel Roller Shutter – 240V Tube Motor Drive
Product Overview
Low to medium use, high quality, industrial 'Traditional' build and commercial specification roller shutter door using a single phase 240V electric tube motor for operation. This economical solution is specifically designed for low-frequency applications where simplicity, space efficiency, and cost-effectiveness are priorities.
240V Tube Motor Technology
Electric tube motor roller doors are typically specified for low usage openings with minimal daily use, as they do not have the high operational ratings required for multiple daily cycles. However, they offer several distinct advantages for the right application:
Tube Motor Benefits and Features
- Completely Hidden Installation: Motor is neatly integrated and built inside the barrel for the roller curtain, creating a clean, concealed appearance
- Space-Saving Design: No external motor housing required – ideal for installations with limited headroom or sideroom
- Minimal Visible Components: Only limit settings and cabling for power and controls are visible externally
- Standard UK Power Supply: Operates on single phase 240V – no three phase electrical installation required
- Cost-Effective Solution: Lower equipment and installation costs compared to chain drive or direct drive alternatives
- Quiet Operation: Compact tubular design produces minimal operational noise
- Simple Maintenance: Fewer external moving parts reduce long-term maintenance requirements
Operational Limitations and Considerations
240V electric tube motors cannot be used on very high openings as they do not have the required pulling force for large or heavy curtains. This motor type is specifically engineered for low-frequency use and is most suitable where door operation is intermittent rather than continuous.
Typical Applications
Ideal use would be on factory units, farm buildings, workshops, or warehouses where there may be 10 to 20 operations per day or less. Perfect applications include:
- Agricultural buildings with seasonal or periodic access requirements
- Workshop and storage units with infrequent daily operation
- Small warehouses with limited traffic flow
- Industrial units requiring secure closure overnight with minimal daytime access
- Retail back-of-house storage areas with controlled access
- Factory units with low-frequency loading bay usage
Internal Manual Override System
This roller shutter includes an internal manual override facility as standard, ensuring operational continuity during power failures or electrical faults. The system uses a winding handle with the exit for attachment located underneath the roller curtain, integrated with the motor on the same side as chosen during installation.
This backup operation method provides essential building access security and compliance with safety regulations requiring alternative means of operation.
Curtain Construction Options
This door features a strong single-skin galvanised steel profile curtain, available in multiple gauge options to suit your security and budget requirements:
- 18 gauge (1.2mm): Maximum security and strength – Price on application (POA)
- 20 gauge (0.9mm): Standard commercial specification – excellent balance of security and value
- 22 gauge (0.7mm): Economy specification for lower security requirements and budget-conscious installations
All curtain gauges are manufactured from galvanised steel as standard, providing reliable corrosion resistance and longevity across all UK weather conditions.
Colour and Finish Options
- Galvanised Steel Finish: Natural protective finish as standard
- Powder Coat: Can be powder coated to any RAL or BS colour specification
- Plastisol Colours: Durable plastisol coating options available for enhanced weathering performance
Manual Spring & Lock Option
When there is no power available for electric operation, or the shutter will not be opened very often, a manual spring and lock operation provides a practical alternative. This solution is available for shutters up to 2.8m tall, offering complete independence from electrical supply.

240V Tube Motor Control Systems
The electric door tube motor can be controlled by two main methods, each offering different levels of convenience and safety features:
Option 1: Internal Push Button Station (Hold-to-Run)
The most basic and standard method is an internal wall-mounted push button station with hold-to-run logic. The operator stands and holds the button firmly for the duration of the opening or closing cycle. With this configuration, no safety edge or beam systems are legally required, keeping costs to a minimum. Please note: you must be able to enter the building via another door for this method to be practical.
Option 2: Wall-Mounted Control Panel with Remote Handsets
The second option is a wall-mounted control panel with the addition of remote control handsets. This system provides significantly enhanced convenience and flexibility:
- Standard Supply: Two remote control handsets supplied as standard
- Expandable: Additional handsets available as required for multi-operator sites
- Safety Edge Detection: Built into the bottom T-rail section to stop if an obstacle is encountered during operation
- Enhanced Safety: If the door is adjacent to any public pathway or road, we recommend additional safety with infra-red beams to further enhance protection
- Operational Flexibility: Operate from distance, ideal for busy access points or where multiple operators need access
Colour and Finish Options
This roller door is available with the curtain pre-finished in multiple coating options to suit your building's aesthetic and environmental requirements:
Powder Coat Finish
The curtain can be pre-finished in a powder coat which provides the same colour on each side of the slat, ensuring consistent appearance and enhanced durability.
Plastisol Coated External Finish
Available in a plastisol coated external finish, which has a standard off-white internal paint finish, providing excellent weathering performance and durability in exposed locations.
Natural Galvanised Steel
As a totally standard option, and used by many customers depending on the roller door location, you can have the steel curtain in its natural galvanised steel finish. This provides excellent corrosion resistance and a clean industrial appearance.
Custom Colours and Mix-and-Match Options
We can offer the door in special colours beyond those shown in our online shop options. You can also mix and match the guides, hood cover, and curtain finishes if required to create a bespoke appearance matching your building's colour scheme. Please email or call for details and pricing on custom colour specifications.
