5 key security features on a King Trellis Gate that the King Brands team are really proud of

The security features of your trellis gate should be first and foremost in your decision-making process when choosing security barriers for your home and business. You want your security to look good but it must also be strong and secure. 

While our range of security gates and barriers have been carefully designed, manufactured and improved over the years, here are the 5 security features we are most proud of. 

1. Secured on all 4 sides
   Our trellis security gates feature a top and bottom track system. This track system is complimented by two secure wall attachments keeping the gate rigid. We use a minimum of 3 rows of cross flights on our gates for extra strength and security. Our King Trellis gates come in 2 different flight styles (X-type or O-type) to match your home.

2. Designed for smooth operation
   We advise a double-lipped rolled-top track for the top and a low-profile dovetail track for the floor. The roller bearings in the top track ensure the gate slides open and shut easily, ensuring it can be closed quickly in an emergency. 

3. Dovetail drop bolts
   For added security and strength, all the King Trellis gates are fixed with dovetail drop bolts. These bolts are near impossible for criminals to saw through as they continue to revolve. The drop bolts also allow for a smooth function even on uneven surfaces.
   
   The dovetail drop bolts, inserted into our uprights, flow freely up and down to allow for secure installation even onto a floor which is not 100% level.

4. Slamlock deadlock locking mechanism
   King Trellis Gates come standard with a slamlock deadlock locking mechanism. The Slamlock allows the gate to be instantly locked on contact, providing a quick secure barrier while the locating pin acts as a deadlock, securing the gate from being pried open. 

5. Quality metalwork throughout
   We are most proud of our expert metal manufacturing. We make use of robust steel or aluminium for our security gates, depending on the installation area’s climate. Our trellis gates are epoxy powder coated making them UV, rust and corrosion resistant. Our tracks are made of quality, galvanized steel as well as steel roller bearings which are perfect for robust applications and can handle quick opening and closing. Our gates do not include any plastic or nylon parts as these are prone to cracking and breaking. 

Choosing the right security measures now will give you peace of mind for years to come.
