ATDC’s commercial folding doors are frequently specified and installed on heritage buildings in Australia. They are generally regarded as enhancing the aesthetic appeal that preserves the older style look of these older, historical structures.
Some recent doors supplied by ATDC to the new Edmonson Park shopping centre in southwestern Sydney had a copper wash finish applied to give them an older, antique appearance. This finish is applied through a basic rag roll process which is very effective in achieving this copper wash appearance. The project managers for this job were Regiment workshop who contracted out the application of the special finish described in this article.
The recent fitout of the Baptist Church Community Hall at Miller Street, West Melbourne saw the installation of The Australian Trellis Door Co’s (ATDC) high quality S08 curved steel retractable commercial security door.
Installed over a span of 8000mm in with and at a height in excess of 3200mm this architecturally specified security door was finished in a high quality black satin powdercoated colour to enhance its sleek aesthetic lines.And the ability of this screen to fold back to a stack size of only 15% of the total opening span resulted in a minimal storage space being required to house the door.
The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has pioneered a triple-track commercial bifold door system that achieves major storage space advantages for its customers.
ATDC’s Triple Track Commercial Bifold Door System
Side by Side bifold door for shopfront
Efficient Design for Maximum Retail Frontage
In a recent commercial fitout project for Natalie Marie Jewellery at Avalon in Sydney, Annandale-based interior architect X+O specified an S07-2 side-by-side parallel top track arrangement for ATDC’s commercial bifold door at the front of the retail store. The design intent was to minimise the side stacking depth of the door, providing maximum retail frontage for the client. Read further product information and technical details.
Overcoming Storage Space Limitations Onsite
Once onsite, the project manager, LJW Building, encountered further door storage space limitations, requiring a maximum stack depth of 8% of the shopfront span. To meet this requirement, ATDC installed its bifold door in a triple top track configuration, achieving a door stack of just 450mm over a 5700mm shopfront opening span. This incredible achievement is essential for retailers and commercial businesses aiming to maximise their trading space in high-rent properties.
Seamless Lock-Up and No Floor Track Required
The triple-track system offers seamless lock-up with a series of intermittent up/down locking mechanisms, requiring no floor track or removable mullions. The attached image demonstrates the successful setup of this recent installation.
Available Nationwide and Internationally
ATDC’s commercial bifold doors are available in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Canberra, and Adelaide, as well as regional centres across Australia, including Darwin, Townsville, Hobart, Geelong, Newcastle, and the Sunshine and Gold Coast regions. They are also being exported internationally throughout South East Asia, the Asia Pacific, the Pacific Islands, and the UAE.

Security Standards and Testing
The S03™ and S06™ trellis doors passed this test by withstanding a force of 450N being applied to its locking style. i.e. the same effect as an intruder attempting to lever open our 3-point locking system.
The S03™ and S06™ trellis doors passed this test by withstanding a repeated impact force of 100 joules from a 40kg lead ball i.e. the same effect as an intruder attempting to kick his way through the security door.
The S03™ and S06™ trellis doors passed this test by withstanding a repeated pulling force of up to 2kN i.e. the same effect as an intruder attempting to pull out the security door or window.
To identify and mitigate risks to health and safety to assist in identifying safety hazards related to the supply and use of the S04-1™ mobile trackless trellis barrier.
