Not every garage door
uses the same type of motor.
Roll-up garage doors operate very differently from sectional and tip-up garage doors, which means they require a motor that’s designed specifically for the job.
The doorman RD02 is built to automate roll-up garage doors, providing smooth, reliable operation, modern safety features and optional battery backup for continued operation during load shedding.
Whether you’re automating a new roll-up garage door or replacing an older motor, we’ll recommend the right solution and install it properly from the start.
Why We Recommend
the RD02
We’ve installed a lot of garage door motors over the years, and when it comes to roll-up garage doors, the doorman RD02 is the motor we recommend most often.
It’s designed specifically for roll-up garage doors, which means there’s no trying to adapt a motor that was built for a different type of door.
What we like about the RD02 is that it combines smooth, reliable operation with the features most homeowners are looking for, including modern safety features, battery backup and convenient remote operation.
Matched to the right roll-up garage door and installed properly, it’s a motor that simply gets on with the job it was designed to do.
What We Like
About the RD02
Designed specifically for roll-up garage doors
The RD02 isn’t a sectional garage door motor that’s been adapted for a different job. It’s purpose-built for roll-up garage doors, giving you smooth, reliable operation that’s matched to the way the door works.
Built for load shedding
The optional 24v lithium battery backup keeps your garage door operating during load shedding and power outages, so you’re not left locked in or out of your garage.
Smooth everyday operation
Soft start and soft stop help the garage door open and close smoothly, reducing sudden jolts and unnecessary strain on the motor and door.
Smarter safety
The RD02 includes anti-crush and automatic reverse safety features. If the door detects an obstruction while closing, it stops and reverses to help protect people, pets and property.
Ready for the future
The RD02 is wifi ready, allowing you to add smartphone control and monitor your garage door remotely when fitted with the optional wifi module.
