12x12 Roll-Up Door
A large commercial size built for tractors, farm equipment, large shops, and metal building applications requiring wide, tall openings.
Durable steel construction, multiple color options, and built for long-term performance.
What Is a 12x12 Roll-Up Door?
The 12x12 roll-up door provides a full 12-foot wide by 12-foot tall opening — a true large-format commercial door designed for heavy equipment, tractors, large trucks, and industrial applications. This is one of the most popular sizes for metal building shops and agricultural buildings.
The 12-foot width easily accommodates most tractors, skid steers, and large trucks. The matching 12-foot height provides generous clearance for tall loads, equipment with cabs, and vehicles with overhead attachments.
TruGlide 12x12 doors are constructed with a minimum .016" steel (27 gauge) curtain, 18 gauge galvanized tracks, and a heavy-duty torsion spring system. This size requires 12 inches of side room on each side for guide installation — an increase from the 8 inches needed on smaller doors.

Electric Openers & Operators
Opener and operator details for the 12x12 roll-up door.
Compatible Opener: EasyRoller 14
The 12x12 door uses a 9.5-inch drum and is compatible with the EasyRoller 14 electric opener. The EasyRoller 14 is designed for doors 12 feet wide and smaller with 9.5-inch drums.
Motor Installation
Electric motors are typically installed on the right-hand side when standing inside the building looking outward. Installing on the opposite side can cause reverse operation and installer issues.
Chain Hoist Operator
The 12x12 door comes standard with a chain hoist operator. Chain hoists are included on 12-foot wide doors taller than 10 feet.
When both a chain hoist and electric motor are installed, the motor is placed on the right side and the chain on the left side. If only the chain hoist is used (without an electric motor), the chain is placed on the right side.

Locking Systems
Locking configuration for the 12x12 roll-up door.
Internal Kick Latches
This door uses internal kick latches on both sides. Kick latches lock into notches cut into the bottom of the guide rails. Exterior latches are not used on doors equipped with a chain hoist operator.
Optional Door Upgrades
Customize your door with additional features.
Insulated Door Option
Available with 2 mm foam insulation double-side taped to the door curtain, providing an approximate R-value of 1. Insulated doors include a header seal and side brush seals.
The side brush seal holder is extruded at a 45-degree angle to keep the door sealed tightly and reduce air intrusion.
