When you say roller shutter door, like an industrial galvanised one? (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/chiny.gif)
Looks a lovely bit of kit though! Wish I could have that fitted to our garage, only problem is we have an 'odd' size garage door (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/sad.gif)

You can get powdered coated ones, too. I think my roller shutter is PC aluminium.

Well the new door is sort of fitted (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/chiny.gif)
(http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c294/fbody007/Garage%20Door%20July%202013/IMAG1196_zpsb0b06037.jpg)The door itself is quite good for £199 :
(http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c294/fbody007/Garage%20Door%20July%202013/IMAG1199_zps34e10ad3.jpg)However I was strongly warned not to attempt fitting it myself, because firstly it weighs 120kg and secondly is a real git to fit. So I paid the supplier to do it (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/tongue.gif)
It took five fitters and a little over 6 hours (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/shame.gif) Could be the best £100 I've spent (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/chiny.gif)
The end result is very poor, so poor in fact that I refused to pay them (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rtfm.gif)
Main support bracket on the left side has four rawl bolts :

(http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c294/fbody007/Garage%20Door%20July%202013/IMAG1201_zps51249e94.jpg)The new fascia is just crap, not level and the ceiling plasterboard is exposed (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rtfm.gif)
(http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c294/fbody007/Garage%20Door%20July%202013/IMAG1197_zps668da5ea.jpg)This gap is apparently to let you leave the keys in when your raise the door (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rolleyes.gif)
(http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c294/fbody007/Garage%20Door%20July%202013/IMAG1198_zps677734ff.jpg)The left hand locking bar is doing sweet FA and the hole is so big it jams the door when closing :
(http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c294/fbody007/Garage%20Door%20July%202013/IMAG1202_zpsc7dfaf79.jpg)So they are returning on Saturday to do it properly, I've been out and bought a UPVC soffit to match the door for £13 (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/wink.gif)
(http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c294/fbody007/Garage%20Door%20July%202013/IMAG1182_zps2e5facee.jpg)If they want paying they have to fix the R/H bracket, replace the L/H track and cut a proper smaller locking hole in it, replace the soffit level with the door, close off the ceiling and fit a brush strip between the soffit and top of the door (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rtfm.gif)
NB : Since the door and remote control opener is now cluttering up my garage I'm open to any reasonable monetary offers (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/wink.gif)
good on ya marty ...(http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/up.gif)
looks like a couple of monkeys been doing the fitting(http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/smirk.gif)
Wow - I think, from memory me and Titsy fitted my door (in about 3 hours) - It looks Identical to that but no way weighed 120kg . . . more like 40kg.
Even a galvanised industrial shutter that size doesn't weigh that (I know, I've put in plenty).
I think I got mine from Glideroll or someone like that. Good door, been up for 7 years this month.
(mid-fitting)

EDIT - The cut-outs for the locks look shit - It'll be rattling around something rotten on a breezy day.
I cut my holes, then filed them so it was a snug fit . . . I then hammered the side rails in to close the gap to further keep the wind out.
EDIT EDIT - In pictures 3 & 4, it shows the top of the vertical tracks . . . they're too high. They should have a small "lead in" to stop the door jamming. It looks like they've just cut the lead-ins off entirely because they didn't trim the bottoms properly.

I don't think they did anything properly (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/cowboy.gif)

Saturday's return visit should be fun
Well moved all the cars and emptied the garage at 09:30am, they said that they would arrive after 10am.
Had the Camaro outside with it's cover on, but it was so windy it wouldn't stay on (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/down.gif)
Finally had a phone call at 14:30pm from the Garage Door Company telling me that they were too far away and couldn't make it today (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rtfm.gif)
Then it started to rain heavily on the Camaro (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/cloud.gif)
F'ing Muppets, gonna finish the job myself next weekend (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rtfm.gif)
You still haven't paid them have you? I would hold off, then send them a bill for your own time and materials.
You have to give any company sufficient time to put right any defects in their work. I think you've complied with that by arranging a return call for a second day to rectify their initial work. They failed to turn up.
I suspect you will have to fabricate the bits you need, I wouldn't bet on them supplying it for you.
I always use John Brier doors in MK for replacement doors, we do between 5-10 a year. A bit pricier than other suppliers but I've never had to call them back yet, other than to one door which had developed a fault that was down to the manufacturer.
5 fitters and 6 hours sounds extreme - were they foreign by any chance?

UPDATE : Had a phone call from Management at 09:30am and they just turned up without warning (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/dontknow.gif)
Said that they were going to sort the front soffit out but nothing else (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rtfm.gif)
Phoned the company and suggested that it might be a better solution to do all the repairs at the same time (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/chiny.gif)

Looks OK, level and matches the door :
(http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c294/fbody007/Garage%20Door%20July%202013/IMAG1210edit_zpsb828ecfe.jpg)Smaller gap at top now fitted with a brush strip :
