FAQs | Roll-Up Doors

Getting Started

Install Questions

What size should the opening and roll-up door be?


The door is made to fit the opening. A 6×7 door is actually 6’4″ wide for the door to fit into the guides / track.

How much headroom is required to install a roll-up door?

For storage roll-ups, 13′ to 15′ of headroom is required. 18′ is recommended. Call us if you need more flexibility.

When should I cut the band when installing?

Some of our doors have a metal band. Once the door is mounted (with the U-bolt pulled away from the wall), you roll the door twice toward the opening to add tension, pull down, secure the door with a vice grip, then move the U-bolt toward the wall and finish securing the door and guides / track.

How do I frame the opening?

Make it like an “H” or a goal post and don’t cut off at the header. There is an example on our Storage Doors page.

Door Types

The Right Door

What colors are available?


We stock ‘white white’ and Mohegan White (a very light grey), but other colors are available. See which colors here.

Do custom sizes cost more?

No. Doors are priced based on set door sizes, so 6’11 or 6’6 doors are priced at 7 wide, but we do not add fees for custom orders.

What insulation options are there for roll-up doors?

Our doors can be made with insulation or we also carry a peel and stick insulation that can be installed after the fact.

How is a rolling steel door different from a roll-up door?

Roll-up doors, or sheet doors, are typically used for storage, while our rolling steel doors are heavy-duty and designed for high-usage environments.
