The Australian Trellis Door Company™ has recently installed its folding security gates for Queensland Rail for the recent upgrade at Townsville Railway Station, replacing similar gates that ATDC had installed at the same premises nearly 20 years prior.

Train Station Security for Townsville

The Project

The general job description for ATDC was to supply folding security gates that not only enhanced the qualities of this heritage listed government building but also did not impede the flow of people in this public space.

Pivoting S07 Folding Security Gates

ATDC’s pivoting S07™ folding security gates met all the requirements for this project. The S07™’s appearance is similar to the old style gates which were used in lifts and elevators in the days gone by and on this project were powder coated in a heritage green finish to match the ornate wrought iron steelwork suspended directly above it.

Further, these security gates were designed in such a way that they hinge aside 90 degrees away from the opening thereby maximizing the free flow of public foot traffic through the entries and exits of the railway station. The absence of floor tracking was an added feature to enhance people flow.

 

Top Quality and Warrantied 

The folding security gates are precision engineered with triple contact point locking and come with a 10 year installation warranty. In this instance the gates – which are galvanized and powder coated, had survived in good order on the external of the railway station for nearly 20 years.

 

Our Range

Australian Trellis Door Company™ supplies a comprehensive range of cutting edge folding security gates for the commercial, industrial and residential markets. These doors are available for sale in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Newcastle and Geelong and in all regional locations across Australia.

ATDC’s range includes gates that comply with Australian standards for sliding security doors – the only folding security gates in the country that are security standard compliant.

Our Retractable Security Doors Deemed Compliant with BCA 

Our trellis doors have been reviewed against the relevant Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions of Part D1 & D2: Construction of Exits of the BCA 2011 pertaining to its use as an egress door.

ATDC Compliance with Security Door Provisions

Australian Trellis Door Company™ (ATDC™), Australia’s leading supplier of retractable security doors, has recently had its retractable security doors tested against various Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions of the BCA to enable their use in shopping centres when installed in a path of travel to a required exit.

 

Analysed by Expert Greg Murrow

Accredited certifier Greg Murrow of Murrow Consulting, an expert in the field of BCA fire safety provisions and building regulations in NSW, has, after thorough analysis concluded that, subject to certain conditions, ATDC’s retractable security doors do in fact comply with the Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions of the BCA, namely:

1. BCA Clause D1.6 (a): The subject prototype retractable security door has a height of no less than 1980mm

2. BCA Clause D2.21 (a)(i):
a. The subject prototype retractable security door is readily open-able without a key from the side that faces a person seeking egress, by a single hand downward action on a single device which is located between 900mm and 1.1m from the floor.
b. The subject prototype retractable security door lever handle is such that the hand of a person who cannot grip will not slip from the handle during the operation of the latch; and has a clearance between the handle and the back plate or door face at the centre grip section of the handle of not less than 35mm and not more than 45mm

 

Limiting Conditions:

The proposed retractable security doors:

1. BCA Clause D.1.6 (g):
a. Shall not diminish the existing unobstructed egress width of exits and paths of travel to exits within shopping centres.

b. Shall be cut back on the side that faces a person who is seeking egress, to maintain the unobstructed egress width during a swinging door action, when the door is open or in the process of being opened.

Australian Trellis Door Company™’s (ATDC™) unique security door is ideal for retailers of valuable merchandise which by their very nature require strict protection and control; namely firearms, alcohol, cigarettes and pharmaceuticals.

Commercial Inventory Protected with ATDC Products

Efficient Security Doors

ATDC’s security door is robust and strong, being constructed from heavy duty steel; it is fully framed if required. This enhances impact absorption. It also has multi-point locking options.

ATDC’s security door can be configured to form a functionally strong and decorative security cage (as depicted in the above image) allowing the retailer to both protect merchandise and clearly display the goods for customers to see. With only limited numbers of employees receiving keys to the security cage, inventory control is further enhanced.

 

Ideal for Commercial Applications

Being fully retractable, this versatile and space efficient security door folds back to only 15% of its expanded size allowing the retailer to quickly access the products when needed. The blend of security and ease of use makes these doors perfect for retail environments.

 

Customisable Options

Further, this security door is also available in a double diamond configuration where the lattice is tightly interwoven resulting in a 65mm pitch between the metal cross links. This prevents persons from being able to reach through the security door to grab the valuable items behind it. View more information on the double diamond security door.

The Australian Trellis Door Co (ATDC™) has recently successfully adapted a retractable flyscreen to its concertina style security screens.

Innovative New Ideas with ATDC

High Quality Solutions

It has been a perennial challenge for The Australian Trellis Door Co (ATDC™)’s engineers, trying to successfully adapt flyscreen mesh to collapsible style security screens due to the potential of the insect screen mesh becoming intertwined amongst all the moving parts of the security screens.

The Australian Trellis Door Co (ATDC™) has overcome these issues by utilising a high quality spring loaded flyscreen which retracts in tandem with the security screens and slides along a fully captive extruded aluminium top and bottom track, rolling into a concealed slimline pelmet box on the side of the opening. These insect screens are similar in colour to the security screens and so are almost invisible and unnoticeable, blending into the surrounds.

This innovative idea meets a growing customer demand for The Australian Trellis Door Co (ATDC™)s security screens namely to provide formidable security screens whilst also providing protection from insects and other vermin.

 

Domestic Security Doors

Typical domestic applications for The Australian Trellis Door Co (ATDC™)’s security screens including securing sliding glass doors, patio doors, alcoves, carports, French doors, windows, passageways, front doors and bi fold glass doors.

Unique to The Australian Trellis Door Co (ATDC™)’s security screens is that whilst providing a formidable security barrier, they fold out of sight when not in use behind curtains or blinds so as to be practically invisible.

 

Modern Aesthetics and Reliable Security

When locked, The Australian Trellis Door Co (ATDC™)’s security screens permit maximum sunlight to filter into the room they are securing allowing the free flow of fresh air and ventilation, keeping the room light, fresh, bright and breezy and now also preventing flies and other insects from entering the premises through the screen.

Precision engineered from marine grade aluminium or toughened steel, The Australian Trellis Door Co (ATDC™)’s extensive range of security screens have multi point locking options, full frames for extra strength and either stainless steel rivets or brass rivets providing that extra level of home security.

 

Our Service Areas

The Australian Trellis Door Co (ATDC™)’s extensive range of security screens are now sold in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Newcastle, Geelong, Townsville and in all other regional towns and centres across Australia.

What maintenance do insect screens need over time?

ATDC has recently completed a large installation of commercial retractable barriers at CSL Behring’s Melbourne head office. 

ATDC is Trusted for Major Installations to Improve Quality Control

CSL Behring is a global leader in the plasma protein therapeutics industry and is the chosen national plasma fractionator for Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.

CSL utilised ATDC’s retractable aluminium barrier at each end of the production lines in their Melbourne production facility to assist management in maintaining a clean, sterile area and so assisting their strict quality control and OH+S requirements.

 

Retractable Barrier Systems

ATDC’s trackless retractable barrier was CSL’s preferred product to resolve their OH+S and quality control. The retractable barrier is formidable and strong given its rigid steel construction and its multi-point locking mechanisms provide a secure lockup solution whilst its trackless construction means it’s economical and flexible.

Furthermore the retractable barriers fold back to a mere 12% of the opening width they are securing making them extremely space efficient. Read more about our retractable barriers.

ATDC’s retractable barriers are also available in a double diamond mesh configuration meaning the cross linkages are tightly woven together resulting in a 65 mm pitch between the steel sections making it virtually impossible for a person to put their hand through the door to reach objects on the other side of the barrier. Read more about Double Diamond Security Gates.

With ATDC’s retractable barrier having keyless egress locking in cases requiring emergency exit, BCA compliance can be achieved in most applications.

 

Additional Security Applications

Additional applications for ATDC’s retractable security barrier include providing access control, securing elevated work platforms, assisting in loss prevention and inventory control and securing warehouse loading areas and despatch docks.

Australian Trellis Door Company™’s (ATDC™) industry leading safety barrier was recently installed at a Liquorland site situated within a Coles Supermarket at Gungahlin in the ACT. The project manager and builder on this site was Mainbrace Constructions.

Safety Barrier Complies with Strict Licensing

ATDC’s safety barrier was deemed sufficiently compliant under the ACT’s strict licensing laws to secure the Liquorland store when locked and closed whilst the Coles Supermarket (which trades for longer hours) itself remains open for trading.

ATDC’s safety barrier at Liquorland is approximately 25 lineal metres in width and 2020mm high; it is portable, completely trackless and requires no overhead support structure. It is able to span Liquorland’s 25 metre shopfront without the need for any removable mullions. The safety barrier is fully retractable and collapsible and folds out of the way and out of site when not in use.  Refer Mobile Trackless Security Barrier.

ATDC’s Safety Barrier

ATDC’s safety barrier is steel constructed and is robust and strong-with its multi-point locking mechanisms it provides an excellent deterrent against would be intruders and a very effective loss prevention tool. It is also available in an aluminium version for particular use in installations in a marine environment. Refer Aluminium Trackless Barrier

ATDC’s safety barrier is unique in that it is both OH +S rated for safety and it also complies with Australian Standard 4687-2007 Temporary Fencing and Hoarding (in certain circumstances) Refer Mobile Trackless Security Barrier.  It can also be supplied in a double diamond configuration which prevents persons from putting their hands through the barrier to reach goods or products being secured behind the barrier.  Refer to our Double Diamond Trackless Barrier.

For Sale and Rent

ATDC’s safety barrier is now available for sale in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Darwin and all regional towns across Australia.  In circumstances where customers require a safety barrier for short term temporary use, ATDC’s safety barrier is available for rental for a fixed period Refer to Mobile Trackless Barriers for Rental.

BWS SELECT QUALITY PORTABLE FENCING

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) is proud to announce that it is the preferred supplier of portable crowd control fencing to the BWS liquor group nationally across Australia.

ATDC: Preferred Supplier of Portable Fencing for BWS

 

About BWS

BWS (or Beer, Wine & Spirits) is an Australian chain of liquor stores owned by Woolworth’s Endeavour Drinks, which also owns Dan Murphy’s, Cellarmasters and Pinnacle Liquor. It is Australia’s largest retailer of liquor with well over 1,400 stores across Australia.

 

Applications of ATDC Portable Fencing

ATDC is supplying and installing its portable fencing in differing applications – first and foremost as BWS shopfront door closures inside shopping centres, and secondly as store dividers within Woolworths supermarkets where it is being used to separate BWS stores from the supermarket area of Woolworths. The latter is often a requirement of the prescriptive liquor licencing laws, which vary from state to state.

 

Recent Project: BWS Chadstone

The above image shows a recent installation at a new BWS store at Chadstone in Victoria. The fencing systems installed at Chadstone are at a standard height of 2020mm (note that 2520mm is an alternate standard height) and are mobile and free-standing, requiring no headroom. Their width is unlimited due to their semi-modular design.

They are manufactured from precision-engineered steel sections and have wall-mounted and floor-mounted locking options. They are compact and stable but easy to operate, running on a series of heavy-duty 75mm rubber non-marking bottom wheels. Discover more about ATDC’s mobile crowd control fencing.

 

Loss Prevention Applications

ATDC’s portable fencing systems are also being installed across the liquor display aisles in Woolworths Metro stores, where it is being used as a loss prevention tool to deter theft of alcohol. In these applications, ATDC’s double-diamond mesh portable fencing systems are being utilised.

These systems have the door mesh very tightly interwoven so as to reduce the pitch between the cross-links, making it more difficult for would-be thieves to reach through these barriers to access the liquor on display. Learn more about ATDC’s double-diamond mesh barrier.

 

Wider Applications of Portable Fencing

ATDC’s precision-engineered portable fencing is also being used by many other blue-chip corporates across Australia, including Coles Supermarkets and Liquorland stores.

Other suitable applications for ATDC’s portable fencing include securing pop-up stores, kiosks and other temporary retail tenancies; access control for shopping centres and public buildings (e.g. railway stations, airports, ferry stations, bus terminals); Worksafe applications such as building sites; sports stadiums; public events; securing bonded warehouses, factories, and loading docks.

ATDC Provides Bespoke Security Options for all Commercial Applications, including Countertops and Bars

Why Choose ATDC’s Doors for Commercial Security?

ATDC’s security doors are extremely versatile; they concertina sideways out of the way and out of sight when not in use making them almost invisible during trading hours.

Security Doors for Counter Tops

These security doors are suitable for securing counter tops for many reasons. For example, they can accommodate curved shaped counter tops. These security doors can traverse a 90 degree angle over a tight 600mm radius turn (View Curved Trellis Doors).

They can also meet at right angles (or in fact at any angle) and in this way can secure an L-shaped configured bench top. The up and down keyturn shootbolt locking mechanisms provide a seamless unobstructed lock-up solution that requires no unsightly permanent lock posts and no clumsy and cumbersome removable mullions.

Can They Be Trackless While Still Providing Robust Security?

Trackless security doors are also an option in instances where no support structure is available to fix to. These security doors are also available in a double diamond lattice which pitches the cross metal linkages very tightly together which restricts persons reaching through the security door to reach valuable items behind the door.

Constructed from precision engineered steel sections and finished in a high quality powder coated finish these unique security doors are robust and strong and provide a formidable deterrent against attempted break and enters, and is a valuable inventory control tool for loss prevention.

Where Can I Buy Security Doors?

Security door providers are a dime a dozen in the current market, but not all companies are built the same. With a multitude of options available, it can be difficult to find a reputable supplier that you feel comfortable with.

Luckily, the team at The Australian Trellis Door Company™ have put together this article to help you navigate the pool of potential competitors. By following a few simple steps, you’ll be able to find your perfect match, putting you well on the way to safeguarding your home or business.

 

Can You Search Online for Security Door Companies?

The first step in your search for a security door should be a detailed Google search. You shouldn’t just look for the first company that pops up on your search, but rather you should dig deep into forums, websites and review sites. Gathering information from as many sources as possible will help make your decision easier in the long run. Search for companies with a good reputation, a strong financial standing and an impressive warranty that you can rely on. This will help you make a great final decision.

 

Is it Worth Visiting Security Door Company Showrooms?

You can narrow down your search using Google, but nothing beats physically visiting showrooms. By visiting various showrooms and assembly plants, you’ll start to get an idea of how companies operate and just what they have to offer.

You want to look for successful manufacturers that produce great products and deliver friendly customer service. Serious security door companies should be prepared and ready to show visitors around their showroom, providing a great atmosphere for potential customers.

At The Australian Trellis Door Company™, we always ensure that visitors walk away with a wealth of knowledge about our products and our company culture.

 

How Do You Look for Established Security Door Companies?

Turn away from the typical “one-man shows” that the security industry has become renowned for. These shady operators have garnered a poor reputation in industry circles for bad workmanship and questionable business practices. We cannot stress enough that it is always advisable to choose a well-known, well-trusted security door and screen manufacturer.

Try to find companies that have been in business longer than the warranty on their products. These companies are more likely to be dependable and legitimate than newer, unknown companies.

The Australian Trellis Door Company™ (ATDC™) has completed a very large installation of its S08™ and S05™ retractable steel security doors at the prestigious Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School in Melbourne’s Keilor East.

Grammar Schools Protected by ATDC Doors

What Did This Security Project Include?

ATDC were specified for the project by Melbourne based architectural firm McBride Charles Ryan, who worked closely with ATDC in detailing all aspects of the security door installation for this large school project. Challenges that had to be overcome included securing very wide curved apertures with pronounced sloping floors as well as the absence of walls to lock the security doors onto.

 

Retractable Steel Security Doors

ATDC were able to recommend both their S08™ and S05™ retractable steel security doors for the school, which helped overcome all design and installation challenges including the provision of seamless up/down keyturn shootbolt locking mechanisms which were easily keyable to the school’s restrictive master key system. The 4 metre high overhead fixing points were well within the height specification of ATDC’s retractable security doors.

 

How Did ATDC Complete This Job Successfully?

Working closely with project managers Construction Engineering, ATDC assisted in achieving timeous lock up under very tight deadlines. ATDC’s retractable steel security doors were installed over school entries, hallways, passageways, alcoves, doors, windows, classrooms, playground access areas, school hall, library and service desk areas.

 

Security for Institutions

ATDC’s retractable steel security doors are also suitable for securing many educational institutions such as technical and trade colleges, universities, schools, kindergartens, daycare centres as well as other government and public buildings such as museums, exhibition centres and art galleries.

 

Sold Across Australia

ATDC’S retractable steel security doors are now sold in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and Canberra as well as all regional centres across Australia.

ATDC also has a thriving business with its export security doors now being sold throughout South East Asia and the Asia Pacific region (including Vietnam, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Indonesia), as well as to the UAE, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
