When you select a security screen door, you choose the colour, the shape and the design. But what about the most important factor – safety and security? How do you know if the security doors you’re buying are built strong enough to keep out intruders?

It comes down to choosing a trusted brand. One that goes above and beyond Australian Standards. You also want to know that your security doors are designed to handle Australia’s harsh conditions – including coastal living. Then, of course, comes installation. It’s no good purchasing a security door if it’s not installed correctly.
As you can see, there’s plenty to think about before you buy. To help you with your selection, we’ll road test a couple of the top brands and point out what crucial elements define safe security screen doors.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, more than 90% of the Australian population lives within 100km of the coast. As one of the world’s most urbanised coastal populations, it makes sense that we should buy products that can handle coastal conditions.
Two materials you should be looking for in security doors are aluminium and stainless steel. Both are strong materials and both are corrosion resistant. Heavy-duty aluminium is commonly used for the frame of the security screen while a marine grade aluminium alloy or a marine grade stainless steel is used for the mesh.
Deciding between stainless steel and aluminium mesh is a personal choice. Both look very similar and both perform well against testing. Two of Australia’s top security screen models are Supascreen© and Intrudaguard©, both manufactured by Amplimesh. Supascreen© uses a high tensile 316 marine grade stainless steel that is woven into a fine mesh – very strong and very secure. Intrudaguard© uses a tempered marine grade aluminium perforated design.
While safety is the number one priority, aesthetics have also been carefully considered. Both the Amplimesh aluminium and stainless steel mesh screens use a unique method to secure the screen to the frame. This removes the need for any screws, rivets or other unsightly fixings.
All security screen doors need to undergo a series of thorough tests to ensure they comply with Australian Safety standards. As a bare minimum, security doors should comply with Australian Standard AS and AS . There are some brands, like Amplimesh, that go above and beyond meeting a whole scale of tests that are designed to stop intruders in their tracks. These tests include:
Lock and Hinge Lever Test – This simulates a jemmy attack using a narrow blade on the hinge fastening and locking joints.
Salt Spray Test – Determines whether the metal will corrode in the presence of sea salt.
Knife Shear Test – Using a knife, the mesh is vigorously tested against multiple attempts at cutting.

Cyclone Rated – To ensure security screen doors and windows can withstand flying debris, the screen is shot with 8mm steel ball bearings.
Fire Attenuation – Security screen doors are exposed to radiant heat to determine the percentage of heat blocked by the screen.
Bushfire test – Security screens are tested to resist a bushfire attack level BAL-40.
It may not be the first consideration when buying a security screen door but choosing a quality installer is vital. Attempting to install your own security doors is not the wisest choice. You would hate to spend your money on a quality security door, only to install it incorrectly.
Your approved installer will also recommend the best type of locking system for your security doors. Currently, the multi-point locking system is preferred as it is highly secure from the outside while making it easy to operate from the inside. Plus, don’t forget to ask your installer for more hints and tips, like how to easily clean your new security screen.
The mesh is made of strong and durable 316 marine-grade stainless steel and powder-coated black. The sash (frame) is made of rust-resistant aircraft-grade aluminum (-T5) and is powder-coated in one of ten colors for the Vista brand and one of thirteen colors for the Titan brand.
While no security screen door is completely break-in proof, our doors are designed to provide a strong barrier to prevent easy entry. If a burglar attempts to break in, they will likely make a lot of noise and draw attention to themselves, which may deter them from continuing. The longer they stay outside your home, the greater the chance of being spotted and the police being called. Our doors are designed to provide a strong deterrent against burglars and other intruders and to provide you with peace of mind and added security for your home.
Yes, our security screen doors are designed to provide excellent airflow, especially when both the front and back doors are open. The stainless steel mesh allows for the free flow and circulation of air, providing ventilation and comfort while maintaining the security of your home.
Our hinged security screen doors are installed on the wood trim, boarding the stucco wall or the wood trim using security screws. The screws are hidden by a cap cover.
For sliding security screen doors, they can be either attached to the surface of the opening or installed as an inside mount where the sliding screen door is currently located.
