Security for Sliding Doors and Wide Openings
A sliding door is one of the easiest entry points in your home to force — unless it’s protected properly. Trellis doors, also known as concertina or expandable security gates, are the standard security solution for sliding doors, storefronts and any wide opening where solid burglar bars aren’t practical. They fold compactly to one or both sides when open, and lock across the full width of the opening when closed.
Xpressdor custom-builds every trellis door to your exact opening in our own workshop, using heavy-gauge steel tubing and stainless steel rivets rated for coastal conditions.
Zinc-plated rivets and standard hardware corrode quickly in Cape Town’s salt air — within months in suburbs close to the coast. Every trellis door we install uses stainless steel rivets and our multi-layer powder coating system, so the gate keeps sliding smoothly and locking securely for years, not just for the first season.
What Affects Trellis Door Pricing?
Opening Width and Height
Trellis doors are priced primarily by the width they need to cover. Standard doorway widths are the most cost-effective; extra-wide sliding doors and double-width commercial entrances need more material and a larger track system.
Steel Gauge and Rivet Type
Heavier gauge steel tubing provides better forced-entry resistance. Stainless steel rivets are essential for coastal suburbs — standard zinc-plated rivets corrode within months near the sea.
Locking Mechanism
Slam lock auto-locking mechanisms cost more than a standard deadbolt but lock automatically the moment the gate is pushed closed — ideal for busy households.
Track System
Top-hung track systems run smoother and avoid the dirt build-up that bottom-roller tracks collect in Cape Town’s sandy coastal conditions, but cost more to install.
Types of Trellis Doors We Install
Single-Direction Trellis Doors
Fold to one side of the opening — the most common option for standard doorways and single sliding doors.
Double-Direction (Split) Trellis Doors
Split in the centre and fold to both sides, ideal for wide openings and double sliding doors.
S-Type Curved Trellis Doors
Curved track systems for bay windows and L-shaped openings common in older Cape Town homes.
Commercial Concertina Gates
Heavy-duty trellis gates for shopfronts and storeroom openings.
