ATDC is a leading supplier of security doors and roller shutters for chemists and pharmacies nationally across Australia.

Chemists and pharmacies are particularly vulnerable to break and enter attacks as many of them stock the commonly known pseudoephedrine which is used in the manufacture of the drug Speed.

Security Shutters and Roller Shutters

Security for Chemists and Pharmacies

ATDC has installed its security doors, security shutters and roller shutters for many of Australia’s well known branded chemists and pharmacies with household names like Amcal, Priceline, Discount Pharmacy Warehouse, Chemmart, Discount Drug Stores and many others.

ATDC’s trellis security doors are particularly appealing to chemists and pharmacies as they provide formidable security when locked and closed, given their high performance anti-jemmy 3 point locking system, full surround metal frame and heavy duty mesh inserts. When unlocked and opened, they retract sideways so as to be almost out of sight and invisible and so preserve display windows and merchandising displays.

 

Added Defence Options

These trellis security doors can also be installed in combination with bollards which serve as an added line of defence against attempted ram raids. ATDC’s S06 trellis security door has recently passed the stringent testing requirements for anti-jemmy and dynamic impact under Australian Standard 5039, which sets the benchmark for security doors in this country.

Available in a wide range of professional powder-coated finishes, ATDC’s engineers have developed a range of differently designed security doors which can also be manufactured in a curved configuration to meet the design requirements of curved apertures.

New Requirement for Medical Scripts for Codeine Leads to Upsurge in Break and Enters and a Focus on Pharmacy Security

Codeine is an opiate and is typically used to treat mild levels of pain, and is also used in the treatment of diarrhoea.  Pharmacy security has become increasingly important as a result of many recent break-ins targeting medicines containing Codeine.

From 1 Feb 2018, new government legislation came into effect requiring all products containing codeine to be sold in pharmacies with a medical script. This affects many well known household brands such as Panadeine and Nurofen Plus, for example, which now require a doctor’s script.

This decision was made by the Therapeutic Goods Administration on the basis that Codeine is an opioid drug and, as such, can cause opioid tolerance, dependence and even death.

Pharmacy Security

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC), a leading national Australian security door and barrier specialist supplier has recently seen a significant rise in enquiries for its shopfront security doors as a direct result of break and entry into pharmacies across the country.

Pharmacy clients are frequently commenting that this is a direct result of the new codeine related legislation making these codeine related products more valuable on the street for re-sale by criminal elements.

The sheer number of these enquiries has been noticeable, mainly involving pharmacists seeking advice on methods of deterring forced entry through the pharmacy shopfront doors/windows. Typical methods of forced entry include traditional smash and grab attempts, but also the more recent ramraiding technique using vehicles.

Pharmacies have traditionally been a natural target for criminals, given the nature of their stock, with high-value drugs such as pseudoephedrine being a typical example.

ATDC’s Solutions

ATDC has supplied its shopfront security doors to secure the premises of countless pharmacies across the country, having previously been a preferred supplier to the Pharmacy Guild of Australia.

ATDC’s S06 shopfront security door is compliant with the Australian Standards for Sliding security doors, having been tested in an independent NATA laboratory against dynamic impact, anti-jemmy and pull force testing.

This security door is top hung with a full metal frame, secure locking and high tensile strength material. It folds back out of sight when not in use during trading hours and, as such, is an added bonus to retailers wishing to maximise visual display of merchandise.

ATDC has certain innovative side stack storage options to minimise the impact on retail space.

ATDC’s full range of shopfront security doors are available for sale in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra and across all regional towns in Australia. They are also available for export to the Pacific Islands, South East Asia, the Asia Pacific and the UAE. See further information on ATDC’s export business.

Last Updated: April 2026

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has recently installed its latest heavy-duty roller shutters at the prestigious Moriah College, a leading private school in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. These heavy duty security roller shutters are large and can span a wide space.

ATDC’s Latest Installation at Moriah College

RS6 High Density Security Roller Shutters

These quality RS6 high-density roller shutters are complete with slimline overhead pelmet boxes and span six metres in one section without the need for unwieldy removable mullions.

Working closely with project managers Northcliff Construction Group, ATDC installed these heavy duty security roller shutters with their 77mm gauge heavy profile in a white powder-coated finish to blend in with the surrounding décor of the school premises. (A full powder-coat range is available to match the Dulux range.)

Advanced Features and Safety Precautions

Electrically operated with secure key switch operation, ATDC installed parachute safety brakes as an operational precaution given the large sizes of the shutters in a school location.

The shutters can also be remote-controlled for ease of convenience where this is a requirement by utilising high-tech satellite motors, satellite transmitters, and receivers. The shutters were installed with partly solid slats as well as some punched slats in order to achieve the necessary ventilation and free flow of air required for the application. Read on for further technical information.

Unique Advantages of the RS6 Shutters

ATDC’s RS6 High Density security shutter is the only security roller shutter on the Australian market with an enclosed pelmet box that can span such wide expanses in a single span. This is both an operational and cost-saving advantage for the customer. It also saves the customer from the cost of building in expensive bulkheads to conceal the otherwise unsightly open overhead roll. For further applications, read the article.

The Strongest Security Roller Shutters specified for Centenary Park Pavilion

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has successfully installed its double-walled extruded aluminium security roller shutters at Centenary Park Pavilion, a Glen Eira City Council managed property in Melbourne’s Bentleigh East. These Strong security roller shutters have many benefits.

Successful Installation of Strong Security Roller Shutters at Centenary Park Pavilion

Project Specifications

ATDC’s security roller shutters were specified by Mantric Architecture and were installed over both doorways and windows to the Pavilion as both a security device and as a means to protect the glass windows from the possibility of being damaged through impact from balls from the sports ground.

 

Compliance Requirements

Mantric Architecture had certain complying requirements before specifying ATDC’s RS3 shutters. The RS3 was capable of meeting all Mantric’s requirements as listed below:

1. They had to provide maximum strength and durability; the shutters are a double wall extrusion with a 44mm blade and heavy-duty extruded side rails to contain and secure the shutters.
2. The security roller shutters had to have the slimmest possible overhead pelmet boxes.
3. Shutters installed on corners were to have removable corner mullions.
4. They had to be electronically operated with group controls to permit multiple shutters to operate sequentially in banks or individually.
5. For access control purposes, these shutters had to have the ability to interface with Council’s internal computer security system, enabling their connection to the system management software used by Council.
6. The shutters needed to be powder-coated to match the colour scheme of the aluminium window frames at the Pavilion. (For further information on the RS3’s technical features, see ATDC’s website at RS3 Technical Features)

 

Wide Range of Applications

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) security roller shutters have been widely specified on Council Pavilions across Victoria for the very reasons listed above. They are also suitable for securing commercial and industrial applications, retail shopfronts and shopping centres, banks, medical centres, reception areas, canteens, bar counters, commercial and government buildings. They are also ideal for securing residential properties, particularly for windows, sliding doors, French doors, and patio doors.

 

 

Nationwide Availability

These cutting-edge security roller shutters are now available for supply and installation in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth, as well as Newcastle, Geelong, Townsville, and all regional towns across the country.

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has recently installed its high grade S06 security gates to secure the shopfront at Repco Penrith.

S06 Security Gates Provide Security for Automotive Retail Store

Who are Repco?

Repco is one of Australasia’s 25 most recognized brands. With more than 400 stores in Australia and New Zealand and employing more than 2000 staff, Repco is Australia’s largest reseller and supplier in the automotive parts and accessories aftermarket.

 

The Project

Working closely with Repco’s specifying architects as well as shopfitter Storebuild Pty Ltd out of Melbourne, ATDC were tasked with the challenge of designing a security gate solution that was compact and space efficient when unlocked and opened for trade. This security gate had to fold back and occupy a side storage area which was only 6% of the opening span of the shopfront.

 

ATDC’s Security Solution for Repco

ATDC’s design engineers were able to offer up their innovative side-by-side parallel top track configuration which literally halved the normal stacking sizes of their security gates. Further, by designing the doors in a bi-parting double leaf arrangement ATDC was able to neatly resolve the limited storage space challenge. By utilising a series of intermediate up/down locking mechanisms which alleviated the need for any floor tracks, a seamless lock up solution was provided. The scissor doors installed by ATDC were the ideal security option.

 

Other Options from ATDC

In addition ATDC are also able to offer up their unique side-by-side configuration for curved and angled shopfronts as well straight-line applications and this provides customers with further innovative design options when considering maximising visual display of merchandise for their retail stores. The maximum curve/angle that is operationally achievable is a 90 degree turn through a 600mm radius curve. See our recent project for DFS Group to learn more.

 

Customisable Security Options

ATDC’s compact security gates are available in standard black satin and white pearl powdercoated finishes although any finish is available from the standard Australian Dulux powdercoat range.

 

Global Availability

ATDC’s security gates are now available for sale in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra as well as all regional towns across the country including Newcastle, Geelong, Townsville, the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast. In addition, the gates are exported internationally throughout South East Asia, the Pacific Islands and The UAE.

Pope Francis’ most recent visit to Kenya was his first visit to the African continent and he was the Roman Catholic Church’s second Pope to visit that country after Pope John Paul II who made three such visits to Kenya. ATDC doors can be seen trusted to protect this high-profile figure.

ATDC Security Showcased in Kenyan Church

What was the event?

During the visit, Pope Francis met the Kenyan President and he held an open mass at Nairobi University including undertaking numerous other activities. In the above photograph he can be seen conducting a religious ceremony on that Kenyan visit whilst in the background the Trellis Security Doors are clearly visibly locked, closed and secure.

 

Which ATDC doors are on display?
The Trellis Security Doors in full view are the cutting edge S09 Alumax Style retractable aluminium security doors. These security doors are fully framed for extra strength and are extremely robust and secure with a high grade 3 -point locking system and their heavy duty marine grade extruded sections.

With a clear anodised finish and a professional powdercoat application these security doors have an extremely sophisticated finish-the perfect choice security product for the discerning homeowner and business owner.

 

Why choose these doors?

When unlocked and opened, these security doors retract and fold back to form a neat and compact stacking factor of only 20% of the total opening span that is being secured.

Ideal for both residential applications (often folding back and concealed by blinds or curtains) and also for commercial applications providing an unobtrusive storage area so as not to impede through flow of pedestrian traffic and further to preserve visual display of merchandise in retail applications.

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) recently completed a successful installation of its attractive curved counter top security screens at the Rydges Sails Resort in Port Macquarie. This installation was part of a multimillion-dollar building refurbishment at this stunning bayside location. The screens were specified to complement the stylish and contemporary design of this iconic waterfront destination.

Successful Installation of Curved Counter Top Security Screens at Rydges Sails Resort

Architectural Excellence and Project Management

The specifying architects for the project were Hamilton Hayes Henderson, with Lipman Pty Ltd serving as the project managers. The S08 curved security screen was the chosen product for this application. Browse further technical information on our S08 Stacking Doors.

 

Why the S08 Curved Security Screen Was the Ideal Choice

The curved security screen was the ideal product for this application given that the counter top had virtually no available headroom to install overhead screens. Additionally, the need to accommodate a tight curved radius made the S08 curved security screen the product of choice since it is capable of achieving tight turns of 90 degrees over a 600mm radius.

 

Seamless Lock-Up and Easy Operation

Through the use of multiple intermediate up/down locking mechanisms along the span of the opening, a seamless lock-up capability was achieved without the need for utilising any floor tracking to secure the system in its locked position. For more details, see a recent article on ATDC’s curved screens at Kooringal Golf Club.

Heavy-duty industrial-grade top wheels with metal bearings and heavy-duty top hangars ensure a low-friction, smooth, and easy operation of the screens, assisting in retaining the longevity and functional integrity of the door. See a further recent article on our installation at a Healthcare Facility in Sydney.

 

Custom Finishes and Wide Availability

While the standard stock finishes for this screen are either a black satin or pearl white powdercoat, the special powdercoated finish for this project, as nominated by the architects, was a high-gloss Dulux Venerable Silver.

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has recently installed its high-end folding collapsible doors at the Ferrari Showroom at Star City Casino, Sydney.

ATDC Supplies High End Security

The Showroom Project
The job description was essentially to protect the high value merchandise with a smart, elegant, corporate looking collapsible door system that would complement the prestigious Ferrari brand image without costing a fortune.

 

Providing Bespoke Security

The technical requirements demanded a closure that could span a multi-curved 44 metre wide retail frontage at 3m in height which folded back to occupy a minimum amount of storage space when unlocked and opened during trading hours. And further to provide maximum visual display of the Ferraris during the limited times the shop remains closed.

 

Our FC1 Wide Panel Folding Doors

ATDC’s FC1 wide panel collapsible closure easily satisfied and even surpassed all these requirements.  The 300mm wide panel door was installed with its heavy duty top track, heavy duty industrial grade top roller wheels and interlocking heavy duty hinges. This provided a low friction, easy operation despite the expansive size of the door.

By utilising multiple intermediate keyed alike up/down locking mechanisms, a seamless lock up is achieved without the need for any cumbersome removable mullions nor any floor tracking. Browse further information about this product.

 

 

Luxury Aesthetics

The folding accordion doors at the Ferrari showroom are finished in a professional natural anodised finish which is standard for these doors although a full range of powdercoated options are available on request from the Dulux Range of powdercoated finishes.

The well reputed Kooringal Golf at Altona in Melbourne recently briefed The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) to design and install a 20 metre wide curved commercial security screen to divide a large function room at the golf club.

Function Room Division with Stylish Security Gates

The S08 Curved Commercial Security Screen

ATDC’s S08 curved commercial security screen was installed with architecturally designed special radius curves to suit this application.

Multiple keyed alike up/down keyturn locking mechanisms were fitted which lock a bolt up into the top track and down into the finished floor to achieve seamless lock up. These are keyed alike to the club’s master key system.

The absence of any floor tracking at all removed the potential risks of any trip hazards.

Read this recent article on ATDC’s curved door.

Curved to Suit All Spaces

The elegantly configured lines of this unique curved commercial security screen are ideal to secure curved radius applications including curved shopfronts and office showrooms, curved restaurants, museums and library facades.

The maximum height achievable is 4200mm from ceiling to finished floor. Note that the stock standard radius curve accommodates a 90 degree angle through a 600mm radius turn.

Figure 8 /S-bends are readily achievable where required. Parallel top tracking configurations are also possible for minimising storage size compaction, rendering this the most space efficient commercial security screen currently available on the Australian Market.

Find further information on ATDC’s S07-2 side-by-side stacking security screens online.

 

Professional Finishes

Whilst the finish of the security screen at Kooringal is in a professional high gloss pearl white powdercoat, ATDC’s alternate standard colour is black satin. Note however that the doors can be colour matched to any fitout environment by virtue of the fact that they can be matched to any finish in the Australian Dulux powdercoat range.

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has experienced a significant increase in demand for its cutting-edge expandable fencing, particularly for securing bonded warehouse facilities across Australia.

Rising Demand for ATDC’s Expandable Fencing in Bonded Warehouses

Understanding Bonded Warehouses

A bonded warehouse, or customs warehouse, is a highly secured facility closely monitored by Australian customs authorities. It serves as a storage space for dutiable imported goods that are awaiting re-export, release, or assessment and payment of duties and taxes. These goods can undergo various processes, such as cleaning, sorting, or repacking, as long as these processes do not equate to manufacturing. Businesses may re-export the goods without paying duty or withdraw them for local consumption upon paying the applicable duty.

One of the key benefits of using bonded warehouses is the flexibility they offer. Businesses can quickly move imported shipments from the wharf for short-term storage, unpacking, and deconsolidation. This avoids the high storage charges that would otherwise be incurred if shipments were left indefinitely at the arrival port or air terminal.

 

Security and ATDC’s Expandable Fencing

Security is paramount in bonded warehouses. The warehouse licence holder is responsible for the safe custody and accounting of the goods, under the supervision of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection. Traditionally, these facilities have been secured with 24-hour security personnel, CCTV cameras, and strict inventory control systems. However, there has been a recent increase in demand for ATDC’s expandable fencing to enhance security further. This fencing allows bonded warehouses to secure loading dock entries and the perimeter of the facility while keeping other entry doors unlocked and open.

 

Features of ATDC’s Expandable Fencing

ATDC’s expandable fencing is trackless and highly adaptable, ensuring it does not interfere with the controlled movement of freight trucks or forklifts. The fencing is available in standard heights of either 2020mm or 2520mm and is made from high-tensile steel sections with multi-point locking options. The fencing operates on heavy-duty 75mm non-marking rubber wheels, making it easy to maneuver, and it complies with relevant OH&S legislation and Australian Standards for Temporary Fencing and Hoarding. Additionally, it meets the deeming provisions of the BCA for emergency egress, where required.

 

Purchase and Rental Options

ATDC’s expandable fencing is available for outright purchase or for hire on a short or long-term basis. The fencing is sold in major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and Canberra, as well as in regional areas including Newcastle, Geelong, Sunshine Coast, Darwin, Hobart, and Townsville. The product range is also exported to regions across South East Asia, the Asia Pacific, and the Pacific Islands.

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) is pleased to announce the installation of its expanding barricades for Ikea’s Richmond outlet in Melbourne.

ATDC Expanding Barricades Installed at Ikea Richmond

About Ikea
Ikea is a multinational group and is the world’s largest furniture retailer, with over 400 stores in 49 countries and a sales turnover in excess of 36 billion euros per annum. Ikea sells furniture, home accessories, and kitchen appliances. It was founded in Sweden but is headquartered in the Netherlands.

 

Barricade Installation Details
The expandable crowd control barriers installed at Ikea’s Richmond store are mobile and trackless and have been configured in the most space-efficient way to prevent access to the store by sealing off entry via the escalators in the shopping centre. The barricades are generally a very effective access control measure and are often utilised in shopping centres, public and government buildings, and entertainment venues for this reason. Being trackless and portable, the expanding barricades require no overhead support structure, making them very easy and cost-effective to install since no permanent overhead structural bulkheads are required.

 

Customisable Heights and Configurations
The barricades installed at Ikea Richmond are at a standard height of 2020mm. A standard height of 2520mm is also available, and non-standard heights are also available at a premium. The width of these expanding barricades is unlimited due to their unique semi-modular design. No matter how wide the span, ATDC always assembles the barricades in manageable sections which are easy and safe to operate. This is achieved by utilising intermediate locking mechanisms to separate the barrier into sections.

 

Durable and Secure

Fabricated from hardened precision-engineered steel sections and with numerous locking options available, these expanding barricades are formidable and secure yet are lightweight to operate, running on a series of heavy-duty 75mm bottom thermoplastic rubber non-marking castors. Both steel and aluminium expanding barricades are available depending on the application, with the latter more suitable for installation in a highly corrosive marine environment.

 

Safety Standards and Applications

OH+S tested for workplace safety and with a comprehensive and independent WHS Risk Assessment, ATDC’s expanding barricades are leaders in the temporary barrier field and are also independently tested for the rigorous dynamic impact and simulated climbing requirements under the Australian Standard AS 4687-2007 Temporary Fencing and Hoardings. Further testing has been successfully completed for emergency egress under the Building Code of Australia (BCA) in applications where this is required.

 

Applications and Availability

Ideal applications for ATDC’s expanding barricades are to achieve temporary lockup for pop-up stores, kiosks, and other temporary tenancies; access control for shopping centres and government and public buildings (such as railway stations and passenger terminals for instance at airports, ferry stations); Worksafe applications such as construction sites; events; entertainment venues; securing factory warehouses and loading docks. Also very effective as a loss prevention tool against theft of merchandise. ATDC’s expanding barricades are also available for hire in instances where an outright purchase is either unsuitable or beyond one’s capex budget.

The Australian Trellis Door Companies (ATDC) xpanda mobile barriers have solved a previously  problematic security issue for Australia’s leading shopping centre group and potentially for all other shopping centres (and similar high-volume public entry points to buildings) across the nation. 

The Client: Westfield Doncaster

Westfield Doncaster in Melbourne have recently successfully trialled the installation of ATDC’s safety retractable barriers within the airlocks at the entrance to its main entrance in an effort to deter further break-ins to its shopping centre.

Compliance with BCA 

The expandable safety barriers installed at Doncaster comply with the BCA’s deemed to satisfy provisions in all relevant respects namely:

i) the barrier has a height not less than 1980mm;

ii) the barrier does not diminish the existing unobstructed egress width of exits and paths of travel to exits within the shopping centre;

iii) the barrier can slide open as well as swing open;

iv) numerous provisions relating to doorways serving as a  required exit or forming part of a required exit are not applicable since the barrier is instead a door in a path of travel to a required exit

v) it is readily openable without a key from the inside by a single downward action on a lever positioned approximately 1m from the floor; and

vi) the handle is of a type that the hand of a person who cannot grip won’t slip; and the handle has clearance from the back plate of between 35mm and 45mm

ATDC has received an independent certification of compliance. For further information on ATDC’s BCA compliance contact us.

ATDC Goes Above and Beyond to Mitigate Security Problems

A rise in the number of break and enters through the main entry doors into shopping centres in Australia has become a burning issue in recent times.

This problem is further complicated by the fact that shopping centre entry doors normally fall within the restrictive deemed to satisfy provisions of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and its emergency egress requirements.

Hence the difficulty of providing effective security screening does not fall foul of this quite onerous legislation.

 

Our Products

ATDC manufactures a wide range of crowd control barriers in both steel and aluminium depending on the particular application. These barriers are portable, trackless, lockable and free standing, and are available in either a white or black powder coated finish.

The barriers comply with existing OH+S legislation for workplace safety and in certain instances, they comply with the Australian Standards for Temporary Fencing and Hoarding including dynamic impact, foothold and simulated climbing tests.

 

Applications for Our Products

Suitable applications for ATDC’s expandable safety barriers include achieving temporary security for pop-up stores, kiosks and other temporary retail tenancies, access control for shopping centres and public buildings (such as railway stations and passenger terminals for instance at airports, ferry stations, bus terminals), Worksafe applications such as construction sites, sports stadiums, public events, entertainment venues, securing of warehouses and loading docks.

ATDC’s also offers crowd control fencing rental on a long, medium or short term basis.
