16x16 roll-up door on a large commercial metal building

    16x16 Roll-Up Door

    Our largest standard size — built for maximum access on commercial buildings, large RV garages, industrial facilities, and heavy equipment buildings.

    Durable steel construction, multiple color options, and built for long-term performance.

    What Is a 16x16 Roll-Up Door?

    The 16x16 roll-up door provides a full 16-foot wide by 16-foot tall opening — the largest standard size in the TruGlide lineup. This door is built for commercial and industrial applications where maximum vehicle and equipment access is non-negotiable.

    The combined 16-foot width and 16-foot height creates the largest possible standard opening, accommodating the tallest RVs, the widest equipment, and the most demanding commercial access requirements. This is the door contractors specify when there is no room for compromise on opening size.

    TruGlide 16x16 doors feature a minimum .016" steel (27 gauge) curtain, 18 gauge galvanized steel tracks, and a heavy-duty torsion spring system engineered for maximum door weight. A chain hoist operator and 12-inch drum come standard, compatible with the Hiro electric opener.

    Headroom Requirements

    Roll-up doors require unobstructed space above the opening for the coil assembly.

    Headroom requirements vary by size and configuration. Contact TruGlide Doors for project-specific guidance.

    Side Room Requirements

    Roll-up doors require side clearance on both sides of the opening for guide installation.

    The 16x16 door requires 12 inches each side.

    Electric Openers & Operators

    Opener and operator details for the 16x16 roll-up door.

    Compatible Opener: Hiro

    The 16x16 door uses a 12-inch drum and is compatible with the Hiro electric opener. The Hiro opener is designed for 14-foot and 16-foot wide doors with 12-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 16x16 door comes standard with a chain hoist operator. All 14-foot and 16-foot wide doors include a chain hoist.

    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 16x16 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.
