Your Door's Personal Security Guard
944SG & 977SG
Roll Up Door
Peace of Mind. Built In.
When it comes to protecting what matters most, the Trac-Rite® Security Guard Door sets a new standard in roll-up door security.
Perfect for self-storage, sheds, carports, barns, and commercial buildings, our SG models offer premium protection at minimal cost.
Why Choose the SG Series?
Every Security Guard Door is engineered with precision, durability, and user confidence in mind.
Our dual latch system locks from both sides, distributing force evenly for superior protection against prying and bending.
It’s like having a personal security guard on every door, ensuring your property stays safe day and night.
Trac-Rite’s windlock (WL) system provides maximum wind resistance for this model. As wind blows against the 944WL, the curtain’s windlocks (WL) engage with the door guide for a strong interlocking grip. This grip keeps the curtain securely in the guide.
The 977WL Model Trac-Rite® door is ideal for large self-storage projects such as boat and RV storage, as well as some light-duty commercial applications, including institutions and recreational facilities. Continuous curtain of solid steel is durable, attractive, and available in a variety of colors. The 977 is available in custom sizes from 8’W to 14’W x 16’H in 1″ increments. All 977 Model doors come with a 3-year material warranty.
The 944 is available in custom sizes from 2’8″ to 12’0″ widths and 2’10” to 12’0″ heights.

Door Measuring
Step 1
FOR EXAMPLE:
If your framed opening is 7’6″ wide and 8’0″ high, you would order a 7’6″W x 8’0″H (width first, height second) door. A = Width B = Height
Step 2
Measure the mounting surface areas. NOTE: all mounting surfaces must be flush.
944 Door | 944 | 944WL |
|---|---|---|
BRACKETS C = Width D = Height | 4″ 7 1/2″ | 5″ 6 1/2″ |
GUIDES E= Width | 2″ (4″ masonry) | 3″ (5″ masonry) |
Step 3
Measure the door clearance. NOTE: Insulated doors require an additional 1″ of back room and head room.
944 Door | 944 | 944WL |
|---|---|---|
F = Back Room
G = Head Room
H = Side Room H = Chain Hoist | 18″ 15″ Doors up to 7’0″ 16″ Doors 7’1” to 10’4” 18″ Doors 10’5″ to 12’ 4″ 9″ | 19″ 15″ Doors up to 7’0″ 16″ Doors 7’1” to 10’4” 18″ Doors 10’5″ to 12’ 5″ 9″ |
Step 4
Choose Model 944, 944WL, 977, 977WL, 988, or 988WL from the Door Model Selection Chart. If you are unsure of the best choice for your particular application, consider how your door will be used. The Model 944 is ideal for residential and light-duty needs. Model 988 offers the largest door dimensions. The “WL” models may be needed when building codes require a specific PSF rating.
Step 5
Once you have completed the four preliminary steps for determining your needs, you are ready to order your door.
*Trac-Rite strongly suggests contacting your local building inspector before placing an online order. The inspector will be aware of any wind load requirements for your area. Should you require certain wind loads, please contact Trac-Rite at 1-800-448-8979 to place your door order. Our Website is not able to accommodate specific wind load requirements.
