Regain Your Peace of Mind with Screen Security Doors


Having a family means that we are constantly worried about their wellbeing, it does not matter if we are at home or out and about. One of the best ways to increase the security of your home is by installing security doors and windows. During those days when you wish to leave the door or windows open to increase air flow, security doors and windows will make sure that you are not left feeling vulnerable.
Security Doors
These doors are available in aluminium or stainless steel. Both materials are incredibly resistant and have been tested against knife attacks and other types of damage. They are available in different colours and you can even opt to have a pet door included. There are many different styles available, including sliding security doors for patios. If you are buying a stainless steel door, always make sure that is made from marine grade stainless steel. This material is far stronger than other types available.
Window Security Screens
Natural light is always a desired feature in a home but having large window sections can also represent a threat. Many intruders choose to make their way inside a home through the windows, but a security screen can stop them in their tracks. Leaving the window open may seem like an unwise action, but a security screen will keep you safe even in those cases. The screens are available for many types of windows, including fixed and sliding ones. Even two people would not have the necessary strength to take the protection off.
Security doors and security screens for windows are available in many different colours to suit your home’s décor. Paint will usually make aluminium doors more resistant to the elements, but stainless steel is able to resist them without any extra help. There are many accessories available to make the most out of your security doors, so ask your specialist about them.

Finding the Right Type of Home Security Doors


Security doors are a must have for anyone that is looking to increase the safety of their home. They allow you to not compromise security when you wish to let air inside the house. They feature a strong mesh that is incredibly resistant to many types of damage. Aluminium and stainless steel doors are available, and they can work perfectly on any residential property.
Stainless Steel Doors
Stainless steel doors are very resistant to corrosion if they are made from marine grade stainless steel. This is the best material to withstand the variety of weather conditions in the country. Some suppliers offer doors made out of 304 stainless steel, which is far less resistant and can show wear and tear damage pretty soon.
Aluminium Doors
Aluminium doors tend to be lighter than those made of stainless steel but they still offer a great amount of protection. These doors are fitted with a strong mesh where all the rivets are made from heavy duty stainless steel. Both aluminium and stainless steel doors go through intense tests to guarantee their resistance to different types of attack. Other than the material, you will also get to choose between a single or a triple lock security door.
Other Features
Sliding security doors are also available for patios and other outside areas. There are heavy duty tracks available and they include special sliding door locks that will keep it perfectly closed when it is required. Having a security door does not mean that you have to compromise on comfort and style. Pet doors and mechanisms that close the door automatically can also be added.
Security doors can be made in different colours to complement the style of your home and not look out of place. Any company offering these doors should follow strict Australian standards and work with high-quality materials. Do not settle for doors that would not deliver the expected results.

One of the most popular materials is aluminium. Aluminium security doors are non-corrosive and easy to install. They are very durable thanks to the black powder aluminium from which they are made.

Security Doors and Safeguards Such as Sliding Door Locks

Security doors are an essential feature of many homes and offices across the country. They are strong and able to stop any intruder on their tracks. Most doors are made from aluminium or stainless steel, depending on personal preference, and each one has its own advantages.
Stainless Steel
Steel home security doors are made from 316 type stainless steel which is marine grade, meaning that they can stave off whatever the weather can throw at them. Good brands of stainless steel doors use the INVISI-GARD system in order to reduce reflections from the metal materials, making it easier to see through, particularly at a distance. Even with the sharpest knife, an assailant will not be able to cut through the mesh.
Aluminium Doors
These doors are made specifically for environments like the Gold Coast. They are treated with a chromate conversion process and powder coated in the colour of your preference, allowing them to resist rust and corrosion. They are designed to look like wrought iron and are meant to resist attacks stronger than doors with vertical bars.
Options
It is possible to choose between many different options when it comes to buying security doors. First of all, you need to decide which material to go for, but you should also consider whether you only need a single or a triple lock security door. Do you want to have a hinged door that works like an ordinary push or pull door, or one that slides? Sliding doors are popular for patios and are installed by using runners in order to protect the rolling mechanism. Heavier duty tracks are available for those that want something even safer. You can also opt to have a pet door installed or even add door closers so that the doors will shut automatically once you have gone through them.

How Aluminium Security Doors Can Keep You Safe


If you are looking to increase the security of your home or an office, even if you were to keep the doors or windows open to allow fresh air to flow through the building, then a security door may help. These doors and windows allow for greater security and privacy without needing to keep everything shut at all times. While many of the doors are made from aluminium, it is also possible to get them in stainless steel. 
 
Aluminium doors, such as the ALU-GARD models, have a mesh covering the doorway, much like any other screen. The aluminium is black powder coated and the door is made to stand certain tests, such as the knife shear, jemmy and dynamic impact test, to ensure that it fends off even the most determined assailant. The doors have heavy duty corners and include stainless steel rivets.
Stainless steel security doors use an INVISI-GARD mesh that is long lasting and made of strong 316 type stainless steel. It is sprayed with a polyester powder that cuts down on light reflection, making it easier to view outside of the door than other metallic meshes.
When it comes to buying aluminium or stainless steel security doors, the build and strength are two of the most important factors. Ensure that they are built to the Australian AS50339 specification standards. If you opt for the stainless steel version of the door, confirm that it is made from 316 type stainless steel and not 304 type. 316 stainless steel is marine grade and can resist the weather's corrosive effects for many years while 304 type stainless steel will start to show markings within only a couple of years. Check that the stainless steel doors use INVISI-GARD technology as the alternative; hybrid epoxy powder coating is not suitable for outdoor use. Giving the knife test to the security door will give you extra peace of mind when you make the purchase.

Keep Safe with Screen Security Doors and Windows


If you have a young family and want to keep them protected, security doors and windows are an important addition to a home. They allow you to be fully protected even while windows and doors are left open to cool down the house, which is perfect when the weather is not yet warm enough to turn the air conditioning on.
Security Windows
Most homes are now made with large sections of windows that can be a security risk if someone wishes to break in. Large window panes can be easy to break and climb through. By using security screens on windows, you can stop intruders even if windows are open. They can be installed on a wide array of window types, including fixed windows that do not open, sliding windows, double hung, servery and awning windows. The meshes are made specifically so that they are difficult to cut and should be able to resist knife slashes. Forces needed to pull the protection off are beyond the ability of one or two people.
Security Doors
Security doors can come in two different styles, either made from marine grade stainless steel or a powder-coated aluminium in the colour of your choice. You can add a pet door and have either a single or triple lock. If you choose to have sliding doors, you can also upgrade the track on which it slides to make it stronger and more resistant to damage. The doors feature the same strong mesh as the windows that cannot be cut by knives and can help keep your family secure all year round.
Colours
Both security doors and window screens can be painted to suit the décor and colour of your home; however, stainless steel does not need to be decorated. Window security screens, as well as aluminium doors, are available in a powder-coated finish of the colour of your choice. Stainless steel doors are naturally resistant to the effects of the weather and do not need to be painted.

The Best Home Security Doors on the Market


Home security is important to millions of families across the country. For those who wish to have something that can stop a would-be intruder on their tracks, a home security door may be the answer. The doors are made to withstand damage and include a mesh that cannot be cut with knives. The door is so strong that, if you would like to allow some airflow, you could leave your front door open and have the security door locked without any risks.
Aluminium Security Doors
Aluminium doors need to be painted and can be bought in a range of colours, you could also paint it by yourselves at a later date; this is important because the paint is their primary protection from the weather. The doors are lighter than stainless steel doors, making them perfect for a sliding door. Aluminium triple lock security doors are one of the most popular choices as they blend in well with the house once decorated and offer a high degree of security.
Stainless Steel Security Doors
Stainless steel doors can resist corrosion because they are made from type 316 marine-grade stainless steel. Doors made from type 304 stainless steel will start to tarnish after a few years. This sturdy material should be able to resist the weather for the same length of time as prepared and painted aluminium doors, without the need for much maintenance.
Options
There is a wide range of options, other than the material, for home security doors depending on the company you purchase them from. The most important choice is whether to have a single or a triple lock, with the latter being more secure. Doors can also be bought as a hinged model or a sliding one if you want a secure patio door; you can also pay extra to have heavy duty tracks installed on sliding doors for added security.

Why Stainless Steel Security Door Is The Best Choice For Security


Security of your property is of vital importance, whether it is your home or business premises. Steel has always been synonymous with better security, offering extreme durability, strength, and flexibility, which is why it still remains the most popular choice for making security doors. For those that remain unconvinced continue reading this blog as I will further explain in detail why it is the best and most widely used choice.

Visual Deterrent

Stainless steel is a visual deterrent, stopping offenders from even thinking of trying to break in. People already know how strong steel is and will get discouraged just by the mere sight of the security door, in turn giving you less to worry about. But the same cannot be said about other security doors like wood, PVC, or fiberglass.

Versatility

Stainless steel security doors come in a numerous types and choices and can be made to according to an individual’s requirements. The thickness, size, and even shape of the door can be customized accordingly.Those having a preference for style as well as functionality can have INVISI-GARD mesh doors installed, an innovative high quality stainless steel woven mesh that both looks good and is good (at security).
Stainless steel is remarkably strong and this alone makes it one of the best choices for security doors, being in most cases virtually impossible to break. Moreover this option usually comes with a range of accessories that help make it almost completely impregnable.

Cost

Although compared to aluminum security doors, they cost a little more but they the cost is justified by the higher resistivity to the elements and greater strength, hence being more secure. Being very durable (it can even withstand rust), maintenance cost is incredibly low and you are guaranteed to enjoy a long service from the door.

How Strong Are Steel or Aluminium Home Security Doors?

If you are looking to make your home more secure, security doors may well be the way to go. They allow you to keep your front or back door locked but still let air flow through them. The mesh on the doors is strong and resistant while the doors are made to withstand damages of all types.
You can get two main types of home security doors: aluminium or stainless steel. Both are well suited to residential and commercial properties and can be made to suit any building. The doors can come in any colour but can also be painted in order to suit the current décor or colour scheme, so it will not look out of place.
A stainless steel door offers one of the most corrosion resistant solutions. When exposed to nature, both stainless steel and aluminium can resist the weather quite well. Only buy stainless steel doors that are made with a marine grade, 316 stainless steel. You may find some manufacturers supply 304-grade stainless steel but these will start to stain in the rain much faster. This kind of steel will also show wear and tear well before a similar 316-grade stainless steel door would.
Aluminium doors are usually lighter and sometimes cheaper than their stainless steel counterparts. While lighter, they can still offer the same amount of security as a stainless steel door. Both door types pass the knife shear test, meaning that the mesh withstands any attempt to damage it with this weapon. Both doors also do well on the dynamic impact and jemmy tests. The aluminium door, by default, is fitted with a stronger mesh and includes Diamond Grille Security, which means that all rivets on the door are made with heavy-duty stainless steel.
Regardless of where you buy the doors, ensure that they are fully compliant with Australian standards AS5039 so that you know that they were either built in Australia or were made abroad to the strict quality control that is required in the country. Always try to stay clear from home security doors that do not meet these minimum requirements or you may be left with a door that is not built for purpose.

Features and Differences in Types of Aluminium Security Doors


If you have a commercial or residential property that needs better airflow while keeping the door shut for safety reasons, then a security door may be exactly what you want. There are many different types that can be bought, including those made from aluminium, steel, doors with hard core screens, doors with decorative cast panels and security doors that have flyscreens, which can stop insects as small as mosquitos from getting in. 

Other door types depend on the way that they are hung. You can buy single and double hinged doors, as well as single and double sliding doors. For patios or large doorways, stacking doors can be installed, and for smaller patio openings, French security doors are available. Aluminium security doors, such as the ALU-GARD doors, are non-corrosive, easy to install and made with black powder coated aluminium. This material is meant to withstand anything and fend off any attack by a possible intruder.
ALU-GARD doors are equipped with Diamond Grille security. It is made extra secure thanks to the use of stainless steel rivets and include corners and frames made from heavy duty steel. They have snib lock protections and are triple locked to meet Australian standards' requirements. The ALU-GARD doors have been tested and proven to withstand a wide array of impacts, as well as attacks with knives to get through the mesh, and they have also been jemmy tested to Australian standards AS5041-2003. While many installers do not offer a variety of colours, find one that can make it fit in with your décor and existing window colours. The colour should be under guarantee for at least 5 years and you should expect at least 12 months on your door and the installation.
Before buying the aluminium security doors that you have chosen, ensure that that they have been made to strict Australian standards, such as AS5039, and that they are not cheap imports. There are some companies in Australia that make the doors themselves and test them to ensure that they are as secure and safe as possible. Do not attempt to install a security door yourself and trust the professional installers to do it, as a poor installation may leave the door being anything but secure.

Home security is one thing that many Australians are concerned about; the emotional and financial consequences of a break-in are just too daunting to bear. In light of this pressing concern, mentioned below are some very good tips on how you can make sure no one breaks into your house:
Total Lockdown

So, even if you go out for a minute or two, or decide to take you dog for a short walk in neighbourhood, make sure you lock your doors or consider getting Alu-Gard security.
Eliminate Cover
Thieves prefer to disappear in plain sight by hiding behind cover such as trees, overgrown bushes, outdoor furniture, etc. In order to eliminate this benefit, it is important you get some landscaping done; remove overgrown bushes whereby you think can help a thief hide at night. Move your furniture so you can have a clear view of your front lawn and everything else once you turn on the light to look outside.
Defend yourself to the Teeth
According to different reports, it was identified that thieves can easily tamper with traditional door locks and locked windows. This makes it easier for them to break inside to leave a trail of despair. So, it is a good idea to upgrade your home security, get deadlocks for your doors and stronger locks for your windows.
24 Hour Security
It is understandable if you want to go on holidays for a few weeks and are concerned about the security of your house. The best thing you can do in this case is to tell your friends or neighbours to check in on your house from time to time. Have a look from the outside, ensure everything is in place. Above all, always ask a friend to collect your mail.
Become Close with your Neighbour
Form a friendly relationship with your neighbours, especially if they have a dog as a barking dog can alert neighbours to activity on your property while you’re away. Plus, if you’re not due back for another week and your neighbour notices a light come on at night, they can alert police.
So, these are some ways you can secure your home or you can opt for Alu-Gard security.
