Australian Trellis Door Co (ATDC™) recently completed the installation of a heavy-duty concertina door at The University of Western Australia (UWA) in Perth. The installation was designed to secure the university canteen, separating it from the adjacent library for after-hours use by students. This innovative solution ensures that students can access the canteen while the library remains securely closed, providing convenience and security in a single, elegant design.
Spanning Large Areas with Ease
The UWA project presented the challenge of securing very large openings, with spans measuring 9700mm and 6500mm wide. ATDC met this challenge by installing its S06 heavy-duty concertina door, a robust and versatile security solution that is well-suited for large spaces. The door’s scissor-action cross-linkages allow for maximum ventilation, ensuring that the canteen remains well-ventilated even when the door is closed. This feature is particularly important in environments where air circulation is crucial for comfort and safety.
Seamless Lock-Up and Minimal Storage
One of the key features of ATDC’s concertina door is its seamless lock-up system. The door is suspended from a heavy-duty top track, which is supported by a structural overhead beam, eliminating the need for a floor track or removable mullions. This design not only ensures a secure lock-up but also allows the door to concertina sideways into a minimal storage compaction size, making it virtually invisible when not in use. The absence of a floor track also means there are no trip hazards, further enhancing the safety and usability of the space.
The installation at UWA was managed by Subiaco-based builder Fairweather & Sons, who ensured that the project was completed to the highest standards.
Apparel Group, home to iconic fashion labels Sportscraft, Saba, Willow and more recently Jag which was acquired from Fusion Retail Group, has opened a large clearance outlet store in Sydney’s Alexandria.
Apparel Group have installed Australian Trellis Door Company™’s (ATDC™) ultra deluxe SO8 concertina security door to secure all the glass doors and windows to these new premises.
Dragan Jovanovski from That Retail Company, project manager for the fit out of the new factory outlet said the owners, who were concerned about the risk of break and enters, wanted the shopfront security doors to stand out clearly to the high volume of passing traffic in the busy area corner of Botany Road and McEvoy Street. The ultra sleek lines of the precision engineered SO8 concertina security doors and their professional bright white high quality powdercoated finish have had the desired effect. The SO8 concertina doors fold back out of sight during trading hours yet at night they present a formidable yet attractive barrier to would be intruders.
Alexandria has become a hub for factory clearance stores for the country’s major fashion and footwear brands. A relatively high level of crime has crept into the neighbourhood with numerous break and enters recorded in the last few months. Canterbury Clothing recently installed ATDC’s heavy duty SO6 concertina security doors after repeated break ins at their Botany Road clearance store with great success.
