Spares matter more in Zimbabwe than anywhere else we supply, because the alternative to having the part is not a short wait. It is a border crossing. Most of what we do on this side of the border is aimed at making sure a routine fault never becomes a shipment.
Roller shutter door spares we supply into Zimbabwe
- Slats and curtain sections in the common galvanised and aluminium profiles.
- Guides, guide inserts and wind locks.
- Springs, shafts and barrel components matched to span and door mass.
- Tube and side motors, gearboxes and manual overrides.
- Bottom rails, seals, locks and end locks.
- Safety edges, photocells, control panels, surge protection and remotes.
The site spares kit
This is the single most useful thing we sell into Zimbabwe. For any property with several doors we put together a kit sized to what is actually installed: springs in the correct ratings, cables, rollers, bearings, end locks, seals, a photocell pair, fuses and a spare remote. It is a modest amount of money and it turns most breakdowns into a morning’s work for your own artisan rather than a wait for a shipment.
Standard profiles, chosen deliberately
We build Zimbabwean orders around common profiles and mainstream component sizes precisely so that spares are obtainable and slats can be fabricated locally if needed. It is a design decision made for your benefit rather than ours.
Identifying the right part from photographs
Send photographs of the fault, the barrel end, the guide section and any plate on the motor, plus the opening width and the location. We would rather ask for five more photographs than send the wrong item across a border.
Parts for old and obsolete doors
A great deal of Zimbabwean industrial door stock predates the current profiles and the original manufacturers are long gone. We fabricate slats, adapt guides and machine barrel components to bring those doors back into service, which is almost always cheaper than importing a replacement door.
Electrical parts and surge protection
Control boards, capacitors and limit switches fail here more often than they should because of supply instability. We supply those as spares and we supply proper surge protection alongside them, because replacing a board without protecting it is buying the same part twice.
Getting spares across the border
We crate and document spares consignments properly and quote transport, clearing and duty as separate visible lines. Where you have a preferred clearing agent we will work with them; where you do not, we can advise.
Supply only or supply and fit
Most spares we supply into Zimbabwe are fitted by the customer’s own people, and that is the right model for routine items. Spring and barrel work is worth leaving for a scheduled visit, because a wound torsion assembly is a genuine hazard for anyone without the correct tools.
Ordering spares
Send photographs, opening sizes and the location. We confirm the part, the price, the lead time and the landed cost before you commit.
Common questions
About roller shutter door spares and replacement parts
Yes. We supply springs, motors and gearboxes, slats, bottom rails, guide rails, bearings, chains, remotes and safety edges over the counter. For anything involving spring tension we would strongly suggest a technician — springs under load cause serious injuries every year.
Send a photograph of the drive and the end plate along with the opening width and height. That identifies most doors. If the make is unclear, a photo of the slat profile usually settles it.
We hold the common wear parts for most makes in circulation here, and can order in for others. Where a range has been discontinued and parts genuinely no longer exist, we say so upfront instead of stringing it out.
Yes, and it is usually the right call. A curtain with two or three damaged slats near the bottom rail does not need replacing — those slats come out individually, which costs a fraction of a new door.
