Saftidor Retractable Security Grille

The Cost-Effective Saftidor Retractable Security Grille

This cost-effective ‘scissor’ style steel expanding system is suitable for all opening widths and for heights up to 2.6 metres. Available in white or black powder-coated finish, this grille is both highly effective and aesthetically pleasing.

When not in use, the security door retracts to a compact stack and can pivot clear of the opening for full access. Ideal for protecting shopfronts, entranceways, and counter-top areas in restaurants and bars. The expanding grille design retracts to as little as 15% of the opening width.

Make It Mobile with a Trolley System

Adding a trolley system allows the entire Saftidor to be wheeled away and stored out of sight when not in use. Ideal for wide or open areas such as shopping centre atriums, airport concourses, and other sites where removable security is required. Xpanda Security maintains a wide range of stock to achieve short installation lead times.

When should you use a Saftidor Retractable Security Grille?

Selecting the right solution depends on your budget, layout, and safety priorities. This option is often the preferred choice when you need a strong, practical, and cost-effective solution.

Ideal for Budget-Conscious Projects

If cost is a key consideration, this is the most economical option available. It delivers excellent protection without the higher price tag associated with fully framed systems – making it a smart choice when affordability might otherwise prevent you from installing security barriers.

When Space Efficiency Matters

Unlike framed expanding grilles, Saftidor can be hinged to the side when stacked, reducing the opening width by only around 80mm. This minimal reduction makes it perfect for doorways or entrances where maintaining full access width is important.

For Spaces Requiring Clear Floors

With no top or bottom track, this option avoids creating any floor-level trip hazards. Only side posts and discreet shoot-bolts secure the grille in place, ensuring accessibility and safety for staff and customers.

Are Security Grilles Worth It?

In short, yes – absolutely.

Security grilles are proven deterrents against break-ins and vandalism. Time and again, CCTV footage shows offenders unable to get past these barriers. While any forced entry may result in broken glass or minor damage, the grille itself typically prevents access entirely. In the rare cases where entry was eventually gained, it took so long that security teams were able to respond before any loss occurred.
