How do you combine a need to protect yourself from home robbery with a tight budget? The answer is Trojan TX. It has everything you need in a retractable security gate. It is strong, affordable, easy to use, built to last, and great value for money. Here’s why Trojan TX is the smartest investment you’ll make in 2025.
Robust strength
The primary purpose of burglar proofing is to be strong enough to protect you when criminals have targeted your home. Superior quality security gates buy you the time you need to either make the criminals give up, or to buy you time to escape or call for help.
Trellidor retractable security gates all have one thing in common – they’re built to be strong under attack. The company does not hold back on quality to meet a particular price point. No matter which model you buy, you will be getting more than your money’s worth.
Product strength is something that the Trellidor team has refused to compromise on since the first trellis security gate left the factory over four decades ago. This is important in a high crime country like South Africa.
Many trellis-style security gates and burglar bars look similar, but they can’t offer the same level of safety as the Trojan TX. With this particular steel security gate at your doors and on your windows, you’ll have the best protection for your investment.
This is not just marketing speak. Trellidor is the only security barrier manufacturer in South Africa that has barriers tested and certified for strength under attack by an independent international third-party testing body. The knowledge gained through this process is invaluable for every barrier design in the Trellidor range, especially when it comes to meeting safety standards.
Strong Locks
Security gate locks are often the first point in a security gate attacked by criminals. So it is important that the lock is strong enough to withstand the blows from whatever tool they are using. The locks fitted to the Trojan TX set these gates apart from competitors. They are not ‘off-the-shelf’ locks with keys that are easy to copy. They are tamper-resistant and extremely difficult to break through.
With Trojan TX you can choose either a Slamlock or a Deadlock. Both types have computer cut keys for added safety and they lock the gate in several places inside the lock stile for added strength under attack. They also have a lock cover around the lock body to protect it.
These features make Trojan TX locks some of the strongest available. They make it more difficult for criminals to attempt to lever the lock out to enter a home.
Affordable safety
Lack of budget sometimes causes people to ‘buy down’ when they try to make their homes safe. To make it more difficult, many trellis security gates look similar so you can’t be sure that you’re getting the strongest door and window trellis gates for your money.
This is why it is important to do your homework before making a purchasing decision. It’s important to visit supplier showrooms and try the gates out for yourself. It may surprise you how different an inferior quality gate feels compared to a high quality one like Trojan TX.
One of the reasons why Trojan TX retractable security gates offer the best value for money is because they have in-built strengthening features. Some of these are:
- A full, four-sided frame – many competitor products are semi-framed.
- They’re custom-made for the opening and fit tightly to stop criminals finding gaps to exploit.
- They have a double row of upright bars linked together to create a strong gate. Other designs available may have a single, stand-alone row of uprights, which isn’t as strong.
- The security gates are fitted with tamper-proof fixings by expert technicians for a strong installation.
With Trojan TX you get all these features and more, making them a worthwhile investment for your home. They can be fitted to windows as well as doors so that all your security barriers match.
Trojan TX is also available as a fixture, which is a protective window barrier that doesn’t open. It is always advisable, however, to select a few windows to install sliding security gates. These windows are a safety measure, designed to open in an emergency when you can’t use the doors to escape danger.
The cost of securing an entire home, however, can seem beyond reach if you are starting from nothing. This is why Trellidor has several finance options available. One of these is a six-month interest-free finance option that helps families make their homes safer immediately while paying off the cost over time.

Easy to Use
Trojan TX retractable security gates are easy to use. They slide freely from side to side. This may seem unimportant until you’re in an emergency situation and your sliding gate doesn’t slide. It may catch or buckle as you frantically try to slam it shut. Or if you’re in a hurry to get somewhere and the gate doesn’t close properly on the first attempt.
What makes Trojan TX steel security gates easy sliding is that have been designed to move smoothly. Some of the design features that make this possible are:
- The gate sash is suspended from the top track for ease of movement.
- The upright nylon sill guide with zinc plated spacer tube and aluminium rivets is designed to provide a smooth glide.
- The trellis links cross over and connect three upright bars for easy, uniform operation when they expand or contract to close or open the gate.
All you have to do to ensure the continued smooth operation of Trojan TX security gates is to clean them regularly, as you do any other fitting in your home. Instructions are available on the website or call your nearest Trellidor outlet if you’re unsure of what to do.
Built to Last
Home security improvements can be costly, so the hope is that they will last a long time. Poorly made retractable security gates, however, may deteriorate due to rust, corrosion, or wear and tear. The best value retractable security gate is the one that lasts many years, and Trojan TX is manufactured to last.
All the design elements already mentioned contribute to the longevity of these steel security gates – the in-built strengthening features, the factors that make it easy to use, the high quality locks, and professional installation.
Trojan TX trellis security gates have additional features that set them apart. The components that make up the safety gate are put through an anti-corrosion process before they are given a high quality powder coating. The result is a security barrier with a smooth UV-resistant surface that protects the gate from rust and corrosion and ensures many years of service.
The anti-corrosion properties of Trojan TX mean that these security gates can be fitted internally or externally. They can be used to protect outside entertainment areas like patios. Or fitted to all exit doors to keep you safe inside when doors are open for fresh air and light. They are also highly suited to creating a safe zone by fitting one in the passage or on the staircase.
To summarise, Trojan TX trellis security gates are manufactured by Trellidor to provide a cost-effective security solution for your home. They are designed to be strong under attack, easy to use, and long lasting. All these attributes make Trojan TX a smart choice for making your home as safe as possible.
