The Security landscape is changing throughout the world, with Australia being no exception. For the first time Australian retailers are facing new security risks that before had only been experienced in films and on TV.

The demand for increased security has seen retailers proactively investing in a number of different measures to protect their merchandise from vandalism and theft, including those retailers at airports and other public buildings across the country as well as retailers in shopping centres, strip retail shops, restaurants, clubs, hotels and gyms.

In recent years the Australian Trellis Door Company™ (ATDC™) has been successfully installing its extensive range of retailer friendly security doors and security shutters for retail stores at airports across Australia including Brisbane International, Melbourne Domestic and International, Sydney domestic and international, Cairns, Perth, Gold Coast, Port Hedland and Darwin International Airports.

Many of Australia’s leading retailers are relying on ATDC’s successful track record and extensive security industry experience and are installing their quality range of security doors and security shutters across their retail shopfronts. Leading retailers such as Purely Merino, Australian Way, RM Williams, Billabong, News Travels, Quicksilver, Flight Centre to name but a few.

Recently Heinemann, the global German-owned retailer, was awarded the duty free concession at Sydney International Airport and has installed nearly 600 lineal metres of ATDC’s portable, expandable, roll away security barriers/doors to secure its store. This is the largest single contract ever awarded in Australia to date for portable security gates.

And JR Duty Free has recently installed 60 lineal metres of ATDC’S Top hung SO6 heavy duty trellis security door at its new store at Brisbane International Airport.

ATDC’s security doors and security shutters are unique-they fold back to a mere 15% of their expanded width so as not to be visible during trading hours;they can be made to comply with egress requirements under the BCA where required; they can be manufactured to span unlimited widths and can accommodate curved apertures.

The Australian Trellis Door Co (ATDC™) has produced a quality range of economically priced door closure solutions for retailers seeking cost savings in these tough economic times.

ATDC was recently approached by Caffe Cherry Beans to provide a closure solution for their new store opening at Woden Plaza,Canberra.

Having received quotes from different door suppliers in the market to provide a suitable solution for their expansive shopfront,Caffe Cherry Beans was looking for cost effective alternatives after reviewing the expensive proposals it had received for bifold, concertina folding closures.

ATDC’s SO6 model trellis door (pictured) was selected not only for its comparative price advantage but also for its sleek lines and stunning appearance.Fully ventilated for maximum airflow,the SO6 was installed at a height of 4100mm and suspended off a heavy duty extruded aluminium top track with industrial grade hangars and metal bearings.No floor track was required in this instance and intermediate barrel bolt locking into floor sockets at regular intervals provided a practical lock up solution.And in order to reduce the depth of the side stacking of the door a parallel top tracking arrangement was implemented for space savings and stack minimization.

Also available in a curved configuration, these full height trellis security doors are proving a winner.

And for even further cost saving options ATDC’s trackless trellis barriers are worth looking at.Being completely trackless ,these barriers can be set at any height and they can span an unlimited width in a straight line or even a curved format.They are completely detachable and mobile and can be stored off the premises or back of house during trading hours.

Major shopping centre owners and their tenants are lifting their levels of security after a spate of robberies and ram raids across Australia.

ATDC the Trusted Provider for Security Uplevelling in Retail

Legal Claims Increasing

The centre owners are facing an increased number of legal claims from tenants whose outlets have been targeted after a break-in at the centre, while customers are also lifting the number of legal claims for compensation related to security and safety issues.

The NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research figures for the five years to September 2012 show that retail store theft rose by 2.8 per cent, including break-ins and ram raids.

 

ATDC Products Increasing in Popularity

One of the companies benefitting from the increased focus on security is Australia’s leading security door group, The Australian Trellis Door Co (ATDC™), whose clients include shopping centre owners Westfield, AMP, Lend Lease, Stocklands, Centro, Colonial Mutual, and Mirvac.

 

Jonathan Kaplan, ATDC Principal

Principal of ATDC, Mr Jonathan Kaplan, said “We have seen a strong increase in demand from both large and small shopping centre owners, who are keen to secure their premises and avoid legal actions from their tenants if break-ins occur.

“It is important that the owners protect the centres’ perimeters correctly to both protect their multi-million dollar investments and those of their tenants, many of whom are taking strong measures to secure their outlets,” he added.

 

Ideal Trellis Doors for Shopping Centres

ATDC’s new S06™ heavy duty trellis door is proving to be popular in the centres as it is a concertina style door that can expand across large entrances of up to 15 metres wide and 4 metres in height.

The door is custom designed to secure any door, window or passage opening, while allowing easy operation, security, build quality and flow of air and light, protecting staff at all times and preventing break-ins 24 hours a day.

 

Mobile Trackless Barriers

The company’s Mobile Trackless Barrier is also proving to be popular in shopping centres, as it is a versatile, and completely collapsible trackless barrier door system, allowing access control, securing factory loading docks when the loading dock shutter is open, securing kiosks in shopping centres, securing malls and food-courts and walkways, operating on a series of steel trolleys and rubber castors, making it great for use for the erection of temporary enclosures.

Australia’s leading security door business the Australian Trellis Door Company™ (ATDC™) has achieved outstanding results from tests undertaken by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) for its S03™ and S06™ trellis security doors.

Watch the Videos Here

Tested against the Australian Standard AS5039-2008 for Security Doors, the S03™ and S06™ Trellis Doors underwent an anti-jemmy test and a dynamic impact test for security, passing and becoming the only trellis security door products on the Australian market that have been tested against these strict conditions.

The two tests were carried out by an accredited NATA testing facility, and are two of the main testing requirements for security doors under the Australian Standards.

Commenting on the test results, Principal of ATDC, Mr Jonathan Kaplan said, “The standard is designed to provide consumers with specifications covering the general requirements and performance of security doors. Whilst the standard acknowledges that security doors are not intruder proof, it looks at the screen being strong enough to survive most attempts at forced entry and accordingly to provide the consumer with a certain degree of security.

“Our products are put through simulated break in tests to verify their strength and durability, and the results speak for themselves. This recognition is kudos to our company’s excellent manufacturing and high quality product standards for our security doors,” he added.

The Anti-Jemmy test simulates an intruder trying to break into a premise using a lever such as a screwdriver to break the lock .The test is extremely stringent with the simulated attack on the door being carried out over a lengthy period of time and with multiple attempts on each of the locking points. The ATDC trellis security door passed this test mainly due to the design of its 3- contact point lock and specially engineered anti-jemmy locking extrusion.

The Dynamic Impact test simulates a burglar kicking the security door in an attempt to break through. The test involves swinging a bag laden with 44 kilograms of heavy lead against the security door .The test is carried out 5 times in succession to see if it can sufficiently impact the security of the door. The ATDC trellis security door passed this test mainly due its specially designed fully framed surround which spreads the load of the impact. Further, the heavy steel mesh infill complements this strength.

The ATDC is an Australian, family owned business led by brothers Jonathan and Richard Kaplan, which has been operating since 1985.

It currently supplies Australasia’s most diverse range of precision engineered expanding trellis security doors in steel and aluminium, which are suitable for securing most residential, commercial and industrial applications, and has remained the market leader in this field.

With the increasing number of ram raids and robberies in pubs and hotels, security is at the forefront of the minds of shop and business owners and managers, who are looking to protect their premises and reduce the risk of unauthorised entry and theft.

Australian owned business The Australian Trellis Door Company™ (ATDC™) currently supplies Australasia’s most diverse range of precision engineered expanding trellis security doors in both steel and aluminium, and has successfully protected a number of businesses in the hospitality industry with its economical, expanding trellis door and barrier solutions.

Current businesses that have successfully utilised the ATDC range of security doors include the Solotel Group for its pubs including the Kings Cross Hotel, The Sheaf and The Regent Hotel, as well as Dan Murphy’s, The Mariott, Accor and Ibis, as well as the BWS and Liquorland chains of liquor outlets.

BWS – the Australian retail chain of liquor stores owned by Woolworths Limited – is a regular user of ATDC’s trellis security doors and has installed them at over 30 of their BWS outlets across the country.

Pleased with the product and the experiences of dealing with ATDC, Ms Karen Price, Project Manager for NSW/ACT for the BWS Group said, “The ATDC Trellis Doors are part of our specifications to builders when renovating existing stores or acquiring new stores, and we have been using the product for many years with great success. It works really well in terms of what we require for our business.

“Being a liquor outlet, the BWS stores are an common target for break-ins and thefts, and the trellis doors work as a great deterrent for thieves, while protecting our stock, and providing peace of mind and safety for staff. Our dealings with ATDC have been great, as they have always been very pleasant, efficient and most of all flexible. They are our preferred vendor for security doors,” she added.

Karen said that she is delighted to always recommend ATDC and its products to other businesses she comes in contact with.

ATDC’s popular Mobile Trackless Trellis Barrier, a system which operates on trolleys and which can be wheeled away during the day and stored out of sight, is an economical security solution which provides enormous flexibility, allowing proprietors to close off awkward openings, which are typically very difficult to secure.

These are the same barriers used by Sydney’s 24-hour pub Scruffy Murphy’s. The doors were installed here as a preventative measure. There are three bars in the pub and some are closed at certain times of the day. The doors prevent any customers from straying into the closed bars and helping themselves to drinks. The doors also take away the temptation for staff to steal stock.

Commenting on the doors, Scruffy Murphy’s Ms Cecilia Molloy said, “All in all the doors provide security and peace of mind that there is no theft from those areas/bars that are closed off at different times of the day. I recommend this product to all similar businesses as a theft prevention strategy, where sections of the business housing stock or valuables might be closed off at certain times of trading hours.”

ATDC has a range of trellis doors and screens which are suitable for securing most residential, commercial and industrial applications, and has remained the market leader in this field.
