The Australian Trellis Door Company offers a range of steel trellis doors for securing shopfronts in shopping centres and on street-frontage.

They can also be used to close off stores selling electronic equipment, white-goods and other high value items.

The trellis doors are becoming increasingly popular in shopping centres due to their strength, through visibility, competitive pricing point and low maintenance.

The company has recently developed a new egress handle and protective plate solution to enable keyless opening and exit from the inside of the store in an emergency situation.

The plate is constructed from high strength, thick Lexan sheeting, which is cut, bent and slotted to enable it to slide with the concertina action of the trellis doors.

A layer of 3M black vinyl film is applied to the Lexan to block out external visibility of the handle position situated on the inside of the plate.
