The innovative security doors and screens from The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) have multiple unique applications in commercial environments.

ATDC recently installed its smart range of security doors and screens at the BWS store in Clifton Hill near Melbourne.

Dewhurst Building Services Pty Ltd, based in Bayswater, served as the project manager for the installation.

ATDC’s smart range of security doors and screens is a delight for both end users and specifiers alike in that they can resolve many challenging installation applications where other security barrier systems would simply not work as effectively.

Some of these unique advantages include:

1. They require very little headroom and are suspended from a slimline 40mm heavy duty extruded aluminium overhead track (which requires an overhead support beam), thereby requiring only minimal headroom as compared to roll up shutters.

2. They can be manufactured with removeable floor track or alternatively with recessed floor track so that there is no potential trip hazard. A further alternative is to supply the system with no floor tracking at all as in the case of the Clifton Hill installation, and instead using intermediate up/down locks along the span of the system, thereby providing seamless lock up without any floor tracking.

3. Curved configurations can be achieved to follow curved or angled leaselines – the maximum radius is a 90-degree bend over a 600mm radius turn.

4. The span of these doors can be limitless allowing lock up over massive widths without the need for any cumbersome removeable mullions.

5. They can be manufactured with pivoting, hinge-aside stack back sections so as not to obstruct the active leaseline at all, making them a merchandiser’s dream.

6. They can be fabricated on multiple tandem parallel top tracks to minimise the side compaction, thereby reducing the storage space once folded back to an absolute minimum.

7. They can be made to comply in certain circumstances with the emergency egress provisions of the BCA.

8. They can comply in certain circumstances with the Anti-jemmy, Pull and Dynamic Impact Testing Requirements under Australian Standard 5039.

9. Through-vision and ventilation are key advantages of these screens and they also optimise the extent of the merchandise on display, both during trading hours and overnight,

10. They are often specified by architects for heritage building applications.
