Trellidor has established itself as the leader in barrier security solutions in South Africa. This reputation isn’t based on clever marketing. It is hard-won through a 45-year commitment to quality, reliability, and value for money. Trellidor leads the way, from safeguarding your home, to protecting critical infrastructure, to providing decorative door and window barriers for secure estates. Here’s why South Africa trusts Trellidor.
Committed to Quality
One of the key reasons that Trellidor maintains its top position is its focus on quality. Every Trellidor product goes through tough design and manufacturing processes. This is to make sure customers receive the most reliable protection possible.
These processes are based on what has been learned on the journey towards international certification. The reason for going the international route is that there is no recognised testing body in South Africa. Trellidor is the only local security barrier manufacturer that takes the extra step of having products tested by an internationally recognised organisation.
BRE Global in London is the independent organisation that does the testing. They do this according to Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) standards. Security gates and other barriers are attack tested against these standards. Trellidor has several designs that have been certified this way.
The Gold Standard in Testing
LPCB certification is the benchmark for security products worldwide. There are five levels of LPCB rating, with 1 being the lowest.
Trellidor has several security barriers with this highly regarded certification. One of these has been certified to Level 3. This is the highest level achieved by sliding security grilles anywhere in the world.
This specialised product is used to protect national transport hubs and other sensitive installations around the world. Its Level 3 certification proves that Trellidor designs can withstand even the most determined attack.
Bringing Expertise Home
Not every customer needs this type of strength under attack in their security solutions. But the insights and innovations from the testing process benefit all Trellidor products.
The lessons learned in high-security contexts are applied to all Trellidor security barriers. This includes products designed to meet the needs of homeowners and businesses of all types. Every Trellidor product offers exceptional strength and durability at a price that provides real value.
Lock Out the Worry
South Africans don’t need statistics to know that crime is out of control. They see it in their everyday lives. The numbers, however, show the urgent need to secure homes and businesses properly.
Here are some interesting stats to consider:
According to the Governance, Public Safety and Justice Survey (GPSJS) Victims of Crime 2023/2024 (Stats SA) the experience of housebreaking in South Africa has increased by 12% from the previous year. An estimated 1,5 million incidences of housebreaking occurred in 2023/24, affecting 1,1 million households. 55% of the households broken into reported that a weapon was used – mainly guns, but also knives, metal bars, pangas, and other weapons.
The survey also found that many people don’t do anything to protect themselves against crime because they feel:
- There is nothing they can do to stop it.
- Or they don’t know what to do about it.
This is where Trellidor steps in. Our representatives aren’t just salespeople. They are security experts who provide tailored advice to customers.
Whether you’re securing a home or a business complex, Trellidor professionals work together with you. They help to identify weak points and recommend solutions that fit your budget and needs.
Local Knowledge
One of the most crucial factors that sets Trellidor apart from other security barrier manufacturers is that we have the country covered. A quick online search for ‘trellidor near me’ reveals a network of outlets across South Africa. Help is never far away.
Each Trellidor franchise or branch is staffed with people that know your area. They are up to date with the latest crime trends there and how to protect you from them. They are always ready to help you create a safer home or work environment.
Trellidor franchises and branches have showrooms with the full range of products on display. Customers are welcome to visit these showrooms to try out the range of designs. Nothing beats a firsthand experience when you’re trying to make up your mind about which products are best for you.
Value for Money
Trellidor prices vary from product to product, so customers have the assurance that there is a solution for every budget. With several models in each range, there is a barrier to suit the crime risk of every area, with prices to match.
Trellidor representatives understand that not everyone can afford a comprehensive security upgrade all at once. That’s why they offer practical strategies to help you get the most out of your budget. They help you to:
- Prioritise weak points. One way is to invest in high-strength barriers for the most vulnerable areas. Then balance the budget with cost-effective options elsewhere in your home or office.
- Match the barrier to the need. Homes in secure estates have different requirements to stand-alone homes. Trellidor has a solution for all these situations.
- Secure a safe zone first. Many families opt to protect a specific area, such as bedrooms. They expand security to the rest of the property as funds allow.
- Flexible financing. Trellidor offers a 6-month interest-free financing option, amongst others. This make it easier to get the security you need without straining your finances.
Realistic Warranties
Sometimes over-generous warranties are offered as a sales tool. But they are usually incredibly tricky to enforce. Unrealistic promises do not necessarily equate to good after-sales service.
Trellidor provides realistic warranties on all barriers. These warranties are regularly audited by the LPCB – the same organisation that tests the strength of certified Trellidor products.
The audits give the public reassurance that Trellidor warranties are believable and dependable. There is no need to go to great lengths to enforce these warranties. The company is known as one that honours their commitments.
Long-Term Durability
In summary, when you choose Trellidor, you’re not just buying a product. You’re investing in peace of mind for years to come because:
- Each barrier is designed to withstand physical attacks as well as the test of time. This means fewer repairs, replacements, and overall costs over time.
- The company leads the way in innovation, quality, and testing standards.
- Our customer-centric approach means we take the time to understand your needs and guide you toward the best solutions.
