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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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. They are also exported to Southeast Asia, the Asia Pacific, Pacific Islands, New Zealand, and the UAE.
