Radio Rentals’ quality range of high-value products are a natural target for persons wishing to profit through theft by break and entering through the various storefront entries.

The Group has for many years turned to the high level of security provided by The Australian Trellis Door Company’s (ATDC) security doors to protect their stores and their merchandise. The above photograph shows a recent typical installation at the Group’s Penrith Store in Sydney’s outer western suburbs.

Protecting High-Value Products with ATDC

The History of Radio Rentals

Radio Rentals was formed in 1930 in Brighton, Sussex, UK, with a turnover in the first year of £780. It later moved into televisions and ultimately video recorders. Growth of a public TV service after the war encouraged more people to want TV sets, but they were expensive, leaving an opportunity for Radio Rentals to offer them out as an affordable monthly rental. Video recorders and a range of white goods came next as the business took off.

 

The Radio Rentals Story in Australia

The Radio Rentals story in Australia began with a single shopfront in Market Street, Sydney, in 1937. Today, it is Australia’s leading household appliance, technology, and furniture rental company, with over 70 stores in Australia and nearly 30 stores in New Zealand and more than 500 employees. The parent company is Thorn Group Limited.

 

The S06 Security Door: A Flagship Solution

ATDC’s flagship shopfront door is their model S06 security door, which is compliant with the Australian Standards for Sliding Security Doors, having successfully passed the stringent testing requirements for Dynamic Impact, Anti-Jimmy, and Pull Testing.

 

Why Leading Retailers Choose ATDC

Many of Australia’s leading retailers are installing ATDC’s shopfront security doors to protect their stores against break and enter as it is a relatively inexpensive yet effective deterrent and a favourite choice for both loss prevention managers and insurers alike.

 

A Unique Approach to Retail Security

ATDC is a well-renowned security-licensed company with a solid trading record dating back to 1984. The company installs shopfront security doors that enhance the customer-friendly retail experience without presenting a harsh, jail-like image.

ATDC’s shopfront security doors are unique in that they concertina and slide back neatly out of the way during retail trading hours to be almost invisible. However, when the store is closed for trade at night, they provide a formidable deterrent while at the same time permitting retailers to maximise the visibility of their products on display.

Additional Features and Benefits

ATDC’s shopfront security doors have other unique features that make them appealing to both retailers and other commercial customers. These include their ability to offer special emergency egress where required under the BCA—this includes the ability to implement keyless locking on exit from the premises while still retaining the security provided by these doors.

Further advantages include ATDC’s ability to significantly reduce side stacking by implementing innovative storage minimisation techniques. This is achieved by altering the configurations in which their shopfront security doors are installed. Read about our S07 scissor doors.

 

Architectural Appeal and Availability

In addition, these doors, with their sharp jagged lines and angled metal parts, have an eye-catching, edgy look and feel to them. This results in many customers selecting them when wishing to make a statement or merely keeping up with the latest architectural trends. Certainly, a standout and something different from the often staid and more common appearance of traditional roller shutters and folding doors that have graced retail store design in this country for decades.

 

National and International Reach

ATDC’s shopfront security doors are currently sold in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and Canberra, as well as in all regional towns across the country, including Newcastle, Geelong, Wollongong, Townsville, Darwin, Hobart, Sunshine, and Gold Coast regions.

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has successfully installed its double-walled extruded aluminium security roller shutters at Centenary Park Pavilion, a Glen Eira City Council managed property in Melbourne’s Bentleigh East.

Successful Installation at Centenary Park Pavilion

Project Specifications

ATDC’s security roller shutters were specified by Mantric Architecture and were installed over both doorways and windows to the Pavilion as both a security device and as a means to protect the glass windows from the possibility of being damaged through impact from balls from the sports ground.

 

Compliance Requirements

Mantric Architecture had certain complying requirements before specifying ATDC’s RS3 shutters. The RS3 was capable of meeting all Mantric’s requirements as listed below:

1. They had to provide maximum strength and durability; the shutters are a double wall extrusion with a 44mm blade and heavy-duty extruded side rails to contain and secure the shutters.
2. The security roller shutters had to have the slimmest possible overhead pelmet boxes.
3. Shutters installed on corners were to have removable corner mullions.
4. They had to be electronically operated with group controls to permit multiple shutters to operate sequentially in banks or individually.
5. For access control purposes, these shutters had to have the ability to interface with Council’s internal computer security system, enabling their connection to the system management software used by Council.
6. The shutters needed to be powder-coated to match the colour scheme of the aluminium window frames at the Pavilion. (For further information on the RS3’s technical features, see ATDC’s website at RS3 Technical Features)

 

Wide Range of Applications

ATDC security roller shutters have been widely specified on Council Pavilions across Victoria for the very reasons listed above. They are also suitable for securing commercial and industrial applications, retail shopfronts and shopping centres, banks, medical centres, reception areas, canteens, bar counters, commercial and government buildings. They are also ideal for securing residential properties, particularly for windows, sliding doors, French doors, and patio doors.

 

National and International Availability

ATDC’s shutters are now sold in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, and Brisbane, as well as in all regional towns across Australia including Newcastle, Geelong, Townsville, Darwin, Hobart, Sunshine Coast, and Gold Coast regions. They are also exported throughout Southeast Asia, the Asia Pacific region, the Pacific Islands, and the UAE. (For more information, visit ATDC Exports)

Drummond Golf is the largest golf retailer in Australia with over 50 owner-operated stores across the country having started out as a small retail shop in 1974 in Bendigo, Victoria.

 

The Client: Drummond Golf

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has been installing its extendable barriers at various Drummond Golf stores across Australia, particularly in locations that house Drummond’s Big Swing Golf simulators.

These simulators are a great add-on to Drummond Golf’s business as it allows the company to expand beyond the boundaries of strictly retail trade and permits their customers to hold events, including both staff and social functions all based around simulating the great social game of golf, carried out in airconditioned and licensed premises.

Drummond are also able to conduct in-house golf coaching clinics at these premises and are able to conduct these out of hours.

 

The Barriers

By installing ATDC’s flexible, expandable security barriers, Drummond can protect its stock when the retail side of its business is closed whilst their Golf simulator and event business is open and functioning out of hours. An excellent loss prevention tool.

 

Strategic Placement

Further, by strategically placing these mobile retractable security barriers in convenient areas of the premises, Drummond can guide the path of travel (ingress and exit) of its out-of-hours customers, thereby serving as an effective access control device.

 

The Specs

These extendable barriers are trackless, portable and mobile. They can span unlimited width apertures and are available in standard heights at 2020mm or 2520mm; they run on a series of heavy-duty non-marking thermoplastic bottom castors and have numerous wall-mounted and floor-fixed locking options.

ATDC’s barriers are now sold throughout Australia including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra as well as in all regional towns across the country including Newcastle, Geelong, Townsville, Sunshine and Gold Coast regions.

In addition they are exported throughout the Asia Pacific, South East Asia, The Pacific Islands and the UAE.

The City of Sydney is working with leading private developers to create a new and sustainable £13 billion, 14-hectare urban renewal project, Green Square, with world-class community facilities and extensive infrastructure. ATDC provided extendable safety barriers to the new library. 

ATDC Trusted by the City of Sydney to Provide Safety Barriers to Green Square

It is projected that by 2030 Green Square will house 61,000 people and 22,000 new workers, only 3.5 km from the CBD in Sydney’s Inner South and 4 km from the International Airport at Mascot.

 

Green Square Library Benefits from ATDC Security

A small part of this investment includes construction of a new community library, and The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has recently installed one of its unique extendable safety barriers at the library entry.

Specified by Sydney architect, Stewart Hollenstein, ATDC worked closely with project managers John Holland in delivering a custom-made lock-up door solution to this prestigious project. ATDC’s S04-1 DD Double Diamond mesh extendable safety barrier was the door of choice for the project architect since it provided a freestanding yet economic security solution and was able to be installed in the absence of any available support structure.

 

Compliant with Rigorous Standards Worldwide

In addition, ATDC’s unique barriers not only comply with the Australian Standards for Temporary Fencing and Hoardings but are also compliant with the emergency egress requirements of the BCA, allowing keyless egress in the event of an emergency. Being installed at the entry to the public library, it was essential that this emergency egress facility was incorporated into the design of the barrier system. ATDC installed a similar system for the State Transit Authority at Barangaroo at the entry to the new ferry terminal.

 

Library Project Specifications

The crowd control barrier system was installed at the foot of the stairs to the library entry and was formatted in a U-shaped configuration to completely surround the balustrading on the stairs. (See photograph of the installation above).

Supplied at a standard height of 2020 mm, the mobile and portable extendable safety barrier was installed on a series of heavy-duty non-marking thermoplastic castors and was finished in a satin black powder coat. Intermediate shoot bolts, which engage with the finished floor, were used to stabilise the barrier system.

Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC)’s premium grade security doors were recently installed for a prestigious project at Melbourne’s RMIT University, (project managed by Lendlease).

ATDC Provides Security for Prestigious University Applications

What Were We Tasked With?

The designers for the project, Lyons Architects, specified both ATDC’s S06 heavy duty concertina security door as well as ATDC’s  S04-1 DD Double Diamond Mesh portable security barrier to different parts of the same project.

The S06 concertina security door was specified and installed to numerous locations on this project including over the canteen area where it spanned a very wide 13 metre opening.

 

What Were the Challenges of this Project?

There was extremely restricted headroom due to numerous overhead services and the available daylight opening height was quite limited at  1200mm. In this application the S06 concertina security door was ideal for a number of reasons.

This door requires no headroom at all as it runs off a heavy duty extruded slimline aluminium top track (suspended by an overhead support beam). The S06 retracts and folds sideways to occupy just a negligible amount of storage room at only 15% of the overall span being secured.

This door can also be set out as a parallel (side by side) top track configuration which requires only an 8% storage factor. This is known as the S07-2 model door.

 

No Bottom Tracks Needed

By using a series of intermediate up/down locking mechanisms the client was able to achieve seamless lock up without the need for any bottom track (removeable or otherwise) to the counter top area and without the need for any cumbersome and unwieldy removeable mullions.

Browse further information on ATDC’s security rated folding heavy duty security door.

 

More Doors for RMIT

In a different location on this same project ATDC’s S04-1 DD deluxe grade Double Diamond mesh portable security barrier was specified and installed to the university’s rubbish bin storage and bin wash area.

In this  instance, this trackless product was ideal since the existence of numerous services prevented any other type of structural door system from being installed. The barrier is portable and free standing, and accordingly was an ideal solution for the client.

 

Why Double Diamond Mesh?

The double diamond mesh meant a very robust barrier was supplied that could withstand the considerable impact and force it is subjected to in this bin storage area.

This door also offers folding and retracting sideways on to itself resulting in only  a minimal storage space requirement. And with both floor and wall mounted locking options, an optimal security solution was provided.

Further, the pitch between the metal cross linkages on this door is only 65mm. This prevents anybody being able to gain a foothold and so deters persons from climbing over this door – one of its complying characteristics with the Australian Standards for Temporary Fencing and Hoarding.

For further information on ATDC’s double diamond barrier in other applications refer to this article.

The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has recently installed its high grade S06 security gates to secure the shopfront at Repco Penrith.

S06 Security Gates Provide Security for Automotive Retail Store

Who are Repco?

Repco is one of Australasia’s 25 most recognized brands. With more than 400 stores in Australia and New Zealand and employing more than 2000 staff, Repco is Australia’s largest reseller and supplier in the automotive parts and accessories aftermarket.

 

The Project

Working closely with Repco’s specifying architects as well as shopfitter Storebuild Pty Ltd out of Melbourne, ATDC were tasked with the challenge of designing a security gate solution that was compact and space efficient when unlocked and opened for trade. This security gate had to fold back and occupy a side storage area which was only 6% of the opening span of the shopfront.

 

ATDC’s Security Solution for Repco

ATDC’s design engineers were able to offer up their innovative side-by-side parallel top track configuration which literally halved the normal stacking sizes of their security gates. Further, by designing the doors in a bi-parting double leaf arrangement ATDC was able to neatly resolve the limited storage space challenge. By utilising a series of intermediate up/down locking mechanisms which alleviated the need for any floor tracks, a seamless lock up solution was provided. The scissor doors installed by ATDC were the ideal security option.

 

Other Options from ATDC

In addition ATDC are also able to offer up their unique side-by-side configuration for curved and angled shopfronts as well straight-line applications and this provides customers with further innovative design options when considering maximising visual display of merchandise for their retail stores. The maximum curve/angle that is operationally achievable is a 90 degree turn through a 600mm radius curve. See our recent project for DFS Group to learn more.

 

Customisable Security Options

ATDC’s compact security gates are available in standard black satin and white pearl powdercoated finishes although any finish is available from the standard Australian Dulux powdercoat range.

 

Global Availability

ATDC’s security gates are now available for sale in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra as well as all regional towns across the country including Newcastle, Geelong, Townsville, the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast. In addition, the gates are exported internationally throughout South East Asia, the Pacific Islands and The UAE.
