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.
