Trellidor is a proudly South African company that manufactures the strongest roller shutter door in Africa. This door has distinctive design features that make it the most secure roller shutter available. Called Rollerstyle LDS65, this roller shutter door is used to protect industrial buildings from theft and vandalism and can also be installed in residences, either internally or externally.
Rollerstyle LDS65 is just one of the roller shutter door designs made by Trellidor. There is a range of shutters with different strengths, price tags, and applications. They are all manufactured from strong architectural grade aluminium, and all have built-in security features.
What are roller shutters?
Roller shutters are doors that roll up to the ceiling using side guide channels that are fitted into the walls on either side of the opening. They have horizontal slats that are hinged together to form a ‘curtain’ that travels up and down inside these guide channels.
The shutter rolls up into a shutter box where it wraps around the motor shaft, ready to be rolled down when you need it for protection. This shutter box fits neatly above the door or window. In a new building or home alteration, the housing box can be hidden inside the ceiling, completely out of sight.
What makes the Rollerstyle LDS65 different is that:
- It has a double row of slats, which is stronger than a single row of slats.
- Each slat has windlocks inside the guide channels that lock the shutter in place to prevent pull-out.
- In between each slat is an s-shaped ‘actuator’ which is a type of this slat that combines with the double row of slats and other in-built technical features to lock down if any force is applied to the shutter.
So for example, if someone tries to lift the shutter door, a multitude of contact points within the shutter lock so that the shutter does not move. The more the shutter is forced, the tighter it locks. Experiments done by Trellidor show that even a forklift truck applying extreme pressure struggles to lift a locked down Rollerstyle LDS65 shutter.

There is a choice of controller options for motorised Rollerstyle LDS65 shutters. There are hand-held remote-control units; key ring type hand held remotes; key switches and mechanical switches.
