ATDC has launched a new version of its concertina folding door system, which is a see through folding door, now available to the Australian commercial, retail and hospitality sectors.
Ideal for Commercial Security
Unlike the conventional concertina doors that are currently available with solid curtain infills, this new bar grille design version is a refreshing departure from the norm.
It has an open grille style of vertical 12 mm round aluminium rods, which are reinforced for extra strength with an internal full height threaded steel rod. Natural benefits of this door include the ventilation, light and through vision that it offers.
Recent Project
A recent installation at Cignall Tobacco at Macquarie Park near Sydney highlights these benefits. In this project managed by Younis Shopfitting, this 200mm wide panel concertina door is powder-coated black and offers seamless up/down locking.
This is a great example of how these doors can be functional while looking amazing for storefronts. They drive away potential crime without minimising the welcoming feeling for customers. Customers can see into the store at all times, and the doors don’t get in the way during open hours.
Gold Coast Westfield Shopping Centre
The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) had a significant share of the work supplying and installing a wide variety of its range of shopfront closures at the redevelopment of Westfield Coomera near Queensland’s Gold Coast.
Westfield Coomera is a $470m development and is Scentre Group’s first Greenfield development. It is a joint venture with QICGRE. The project spans in excess of 59,000 square metres and will offer 140 specialty retail stores once completed.
ATDC’s Shopfront Security Used
ATDC’s shopfront closures were specified across many of the specialty stores throughout the shopping centre by the Westfield Design team, and ATDC will individually feature some of these unique projects in a series of news releases over the upcoming weeks.
Types of Doors
Some examples of the different types of doors installed on these specialty retail shopfronts included ATDC’s FC1 Folding Closures, S08 curved trellis Doors, S06 straight line trellis doors, S04-1 trackless barriers, as well as the S07-2 side-by-side space minimising closures.
Pictured is a photograph of an installation at Elite Supplements. The Project Architect was Kevin Snell Architects, and the project manager for the job was Jeff Graham.
An assortment of photographs of different ATDC retail closure installations at Coomera is also shown.
The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) recently installed its quality commercial grade stackable doors to a large commercial and retail project at South Village, Kirrawee in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire.
Specified by architectural firm Turner Studio out of Darlinghurst, Sydney, the project involved installing ATDC’s 300mm stackable doors, which were finished in a special Interpon Charcoal Matt powdercoat.
These perforated mesh infill doors covered two shopping centre entries at the South Village project and covered very large expanses in excess of 15m wide x 4m high.
Special emergency breakout doors were incorporated within the doors for BCA egress compliance.
ATDC’s unique up/down locking mechanisms assisted in achieving seamless lock up for the customer and alleviated the need for any floor track to achieve lock up.
Project managers for the job was Redfern based Deicorp.
Hancock Library in Canberra
The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has recently installed folding doors for security at The Australian National University’s Hancock Library in Canberra.
Unique Aspects
Specified by The Mill Design Company, the project involved the installation of ATDC’s wide panel 300mm folding door in a black powder-coated finish. Unique to this project was the special radius curved aperture as well as the specification requiring the top half of the door to have a perforated mesh infill for ventilation, whilst the bottom half had a polycarbonate infill.
Sloping Floors
Like so many of ATDC’s projects, the company had to deal with the challenge of sloping floors. Here again, the adjustability in the throw of ATDC’s down locking mechanisms assisted in achieving seamless lock up for the customer. See further technical information on these doors.
Project Managers
Project managers for the job were Boss Projects Group out of Kingston in the ACT.

ATDC is working on other prestigious university projects across Australia, including at Deakin University in Burwood, Melbourne (specified by Ian McEwan Designs) and at the University of Geelong (specified by Baade Harbour Australia Architects)(for Barwon Health).
