Expanding Fire Exit Grilles for Compliance & Secure Access

This option is a fire-compliant security solution designed specifically for emergency exits and other areas where rapid egress without a key is essential. Manufactured from strong steel and finished in durable black or white powder coating, this expanding grille provides both safety and security without compromise.

This design features smaller diamond gaps to prevent tampering and reaching through to the thumb-turn lock. A shielding plate provides an additional layer of protection, making it ideal for locations requiring high-security access control. While it doesn’t retract as compactly as the regular Saftidor, its fire compliance and robust construction make it the only suitable option in many installations.

Beyond fire exits, the Double Diamond grille is also useful for securing wine racks and storage areas, as the lattice is too small for bottles to pass through.

When Should You Choose the Double Diamond Grille?

For Compliant Security

Did you know this solution is the only fire-exit-compliant expanding grille in New Zealand that functions correctly? It allows a quick, safe exit without a key, meeting all egress requirements while maintaining a high level of protection.

When Lock Protection & Restricted Access Are Required

The small diamond lattice and integrated shielding plate make it more difficult to reach the internal thumb-turn lock from outside, ensuring secure control from within. This feature is particularly valuable for fire-exit doors or high-value areas where tampering needs to be prevented.

For Clear, Safe Entrances

Designed with practicality in mind, the Double Diamond can be hinged to the side when stacked, reducing the opening width by only around 80mm. With no top or bottom track required, it eliminates trip hazards and keeps pathways completely clear when not in use.

For Visible Security & Strong Deterrence

Manufactured from heavy-duty steel, this solution provides outstanding resistance to forced entry. Its visible lattice design acts as an immediate deterrent to would-be intruders while maintaining airflow and visibility into the premises.

When You Need Reliable, Long-Term Protection

Suitable for all opening widths and standing up to 2080mm in height, the Double Diamond Saftidor offers great value for money and long-term reliability. It’s highly recommended by New Zealand insurance companies for its tested strength and proven performance.
