Trellidor Retractable Security Gate Still Strong After 35 Years

Retractable gate still going strong after 35 years

Trellidor Retractable Security gate installed in 1982 is still going strong 35 years later. We’ve established that it is possibly the 75th gate to be installed by Trellidor in South Africa. So it wasn’t the first security gate we fitted in our 40 year history, but it still proves how reliable Trellidor Retractable Security gates are.

The gate was installed at the home of a Mr Maurer, who lives in Claremont. Mr Maurer told us that the Trellidor Retractable Security gate is working just as well as the day it was installed. He said that an installation team was flown into Cape Town from the Trellidor Durban head office to fit the gate. The job took them two days.

Trellidor Cape Town South

In those days, the Cape Town area was serviced by a Trellidor branch office. It was only in 2001 that the area was franchised. The Cape Town South franchise was purchased by Peter Snijman. He was previously the Cape Town Regional Manager. The franchise has its own expert installation teams that fit the entire range of Trellidor security barriers.

Peter’s son Jacques now manages the franchise and it was Jacques that sent us a photo of the original installation. Amazingly, Jacques still has the original Trellidor Retractable order document from 1982 that authenticates the date of Mr Maurer’s order all those years ago!
