TRELLIS DOORS

Question: Are these trellis doors fully framed?
Answer: We manufacture four different types of trellis doors: Multiguard™ (fully-framed), Xpandor+™ (fully-framed), Wave guard (fully-framed), Saftigate™ (no top or bottom track).

Question: Do any of these doors lock without physically having to turn the key - In other words do they have a slamlock facility?
Answer: All the doors come standard with a unique slamlock facility.

Question: What if I don't want a slamlock on my door?
Answer: No problem for us to change the locking mechanism to suit your requirements.

Question: I live on the coast and all my steel furniture and steel windows are rusting, does your product have any protection against rust?
Answer: Yes we do - All our products can be Hot-Dip Galvanized (Anti-rust Zinc) coating that prevents any rust. This will prevent rust, so long as the trellis door/supagate/ supaguards are wiped down with a damp cloth fairly frequently, depending on your location from the sea.

Question: How many times is frequently?
Answer: If you lived on the coast, how often would you wash or wipe down your car because of salt build up? The same goes for your trellis doors.

Question: Can you custom make to fit my strange uneven reveal?
Answer: No problem.

Question: Can you do a special color?
Answer: We have 16 standard colors to choose from but we can match any non-standard color from the Plascon or RAL color chart at an additional cost.

Question: When the doors fold back, how much space of the opening do they take up?
Answer: The Multiguard takes up 20 % of the opening. Xpandor take up 17% of the opening and the Saftidors take up 0% of the opening, as it hinges aside. See Pgs 15 and Pg 22 respectively out of the Technical Manual under the specifications tab.

SUPAGUARD

Question: Do you custom make Burglar Guards to match my windows?
Answer: We can manufacture any size and shape burglar guard to meet your needs.

Answer: Absolutely check some designs under the super guard and ironcraft sections. Or e-mail us your design.
