Sliding Security Doors can comply with Emergency Egress Requirements

ATDC’s S06 heavy duty trellis security door can be installed with an emergency egress facility for keyless exit in applications where this is a requirement.

For extra security, ATDC use a completely transparent lexan plate to prevent persons from reaching through the door mesh from the external to release the lever handle on the internal of the door.

For additional security key access is required for entry from the external.

These photographs show a recent installation of this arrangement for BWS at Singleton, NSW, a few hours north of Sydney.

Stackable Commercial Doors with Electromagnetic Locking for Emergency Egress

The Australian Trellis Door Co (ATDC) has introduced an electromagnetic locking facility for its stackable commercial doors for emergency egress in the event of fire.

In this application the electromagnetic lock will be wired to the fire alarm to the premises.A fire event will then activate the fire alarm which automatically cuts the power supply to the electromagnetic lock thereby automatically unlocking and opening the door.

In a different application the same locking mechanism can also be used as an electronic lock for greater security access control in high security applications such as for banks or jewellery stores. Access can then be controlled for example by restricted swipe cards or even digital keypads..

Whilst ATDC will, where required, build these special locking mechanisms into their doors the actual  wiring and access control is always arranged by other access control specialists.
