“I need security after hours but want maximum openness during business hours.” This challenge faces business owners daily. While roller shutters and security grills provide excellent security, they’re not always the ideal solution for every situation. Particularly in high-visibility retail and hospitality spaces, commercial spaces must adapt to different daily requirements. In the morning, you might want wide-open entrances to welcome customers. During operating hours, you may need to section off areas for other purposes. And after closing, your priority shifts to securing your premises effectively.

Stack-away doors are a great option to provide security after hours, particularly when openness and flexibility are priorities, giving you the best of both worlds.

What Makes Stack Away Doors Different from Standard Options?

Imagine folding back an entire wall of your business with one smooth motion. That’s essentially what stack-away doors do. Different to sliding doors that always leave half your opening covered, stack away doors fold neatly against a wall like an accordion. The entire entrance clears without obstacles, maximising your usable space during business hours.

Maverick Roller Products has installed these stack-away doors for numerous Australian businesses looking to balance openness with security. Our customers appreciate having fully open spaces when needed and robust protection after hours.

The Space-Saving Advantage 

A typical 4-metre storefront with traditional sliding doors loses approximately 2 metres to the door itself when open. Stack away doors reduce this to just 40-60 centimetres – giving you back 1.5+ metres of usable space.

This extra room translates directly to practical business benefits: 

•         Retail stores can display more merchandise near entrances
•         Cafés can add 1-2 extra tables in prime positions
•         Offices can make narrow hallways or meeting rooms more functional

The absence of floor tracks with Maverick’s C Series and E Series doors creates truly seamless transitions between spaces – no trip hazards and no barriers for trolleys or wheelchairs.

Security Without Compromise

Business owners often worry that more accessible spaces mean less security. Stack-away doors solve this concern with multiple commercial-grade security features designed specifically for business protection.

Hard-to-Defeat Locking Systems

The Maverick stack-away doors use up/down locking mechanisms built into the vertical aluminium frame. These locks engage at both the top and bottom of the door, which makes them significantly more secure and harder to force open than standard single-point locks.

We construct these locking components entirely from metal – no plastic parts that break down over time, knowing that durability matters for businesses in high-traffic areas or those concerned about break-ins.

Panel Strength That Deters Forced Entry

Each panel combines the strength of aluminium framing with 6.38mm laminated glass (standard) or alternative materials like steel mesh for high-security applications. These materials resist impact and provide visual security through clear sight lines, simultaneously offering protection and aesthetic appeal.

Seeing Stack Away Doors in Action

Stack-away doors are favoured across various commercial settings:

Cafés and restaurants can open their entire frontage during good weather, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor dining experience that attracts more foot traffic. The same doors secure the premises after hours without hiding the establishment’s interior from passers-by.

Retail showrooms benefit from the ability to divide large display areas into smaller sections for different product lines. Staff can reconfigure the space for events or new displays without construction disruptions or costly modifications.

Office environments use these doors to transform conference rooms into extended work areas or separate noisy activities from quiet zones as needed throughout the day. The flexibility to adapt spaces as requirements change helps businesses avoid the substantial costs of relocating or major renovations.

Customisation Options That Match Your Brand and Budget

No two commercial spaces have identical requirements. This is why our stack-away doors adapt to various requirements with multiple options.

Size Flexibility for Any Commercial Opening

While standard doors come in fixed sizes, stack-away doors are built to your exact measurements. The Maverick systems can be manufactured for openings up to 3600mm high, with each panel between 450mm and 750mm wide.

A mid-rail provides additional structural support for extra-tall applications over 3000mm without compromising the door’s clean lines.

Choose Your Perfect Configuration

Stack away doors offer configuration options that traditional doors can’t match: 

•         Left or right-hand stacking
•         Bi-parting doors that open from the centre
•         Optional fixed pedestrian door at one end
•         Internal or external installation

Materials and Finishes That Complement Your Space

While 6.38mm laminated glass comes standard, your business might need something different. Alternative infill options include: 

•         Polycarbonate for lighter weight
•         Aluminium or steel mesh for extra security
•         Mirror finishes for retail or salon applications
•         Timber for warmth and privacy

The aluminium components come in a clear anodised finish as standard, with custom powder coat options available to match your branding or interior design. 

Installation Considerations for Your Business

Before choosing stack-away doors, consider these practical factors: 

Weight support

Each glass panel weighs up to 50kg, requiring proper overhead structural support

Opening Preparation

The track requires a level surface for smooth operation 

Stacking space

Allow for stacking depth using this formula: 40mm X (# of panels) + 100

Our experts at Maverick Roller Products can assess your site and confirm these requirements during a consultation visit.

Stop Limiting Your Business Potential

Don’t settle for doors that waste precious floor space or compromise security. Stack-away doors solve both problems at once. Business owners who have installed them report up to 40% more usable floor area and often find they can expand services or displays without moving to larger, more expensive premises. For security-conscious retailers, these doors provide comprehensive protection without hiding merchandise from after-hours window shoppers, enhancing both security and marketing potential.
