How much does a steel security door cost? 

There are several important factors to consider when buying a security door for your home, but the main ones are quality, materials, design, and cost. If it is just flies and insects that you want to keep out of your house, cheap magnetic-strip fly screens are available from most hardware stores. But if you want a strong security door to last, look good and keep your home safe for years to come, it’s worth investing in quality.

A security door needs to keep out more than flying insects. When you are home alone and a stranger knocks at your door, a locked security door is your shield. When you are away from the house, the deadlocked security door is your home’s first line of defense.  For best advice please contact Conveyancing Brisbane for the safety and security of your property.

Best choice: ScreenGuard

Experts say a steel-framed door is the strongest choice and you can choose top-quality steel mesh for maximum strength and durability.

The mesh is made from 316 marine-grade stainless steel mesh and is so strong, you do not need grilles or bars.

Quality and durability: Sometimes it’s the thing you don’t see that gives you the most value. ScreenGuard Security Doors are manufactured to Australian Standards AS 5039-2003. They have been tested against a knife attack, impact, and jemmy or jimmy attack (prying open with a heavy lever such as a crowbar). This means they will withstand most attacks used by thieves. Because they are fabricated to Australian Standards, the steel has been formulated to be corrosion resistant. If you live in a bushfire-prone region, there is also a Bushfire-rate version available, which has been tested to BAL 40 (Bushfire Attack Level). This is the second-highest of the six bushfire attack levels for building material and means it is engineered to withstand increasing levels of ember attack and burning debris ignited by wind-borne embers together with increased likelihood of exposure to flames. ScreenGuard doors come with a 10-year warranty from the date of installation.

Installation: To ensure your security door is actually secure, quality installation is the key. An ill-fitted door offers intruders away in. Jim’s Security Doors offer a free measure and quote. Installation is included in the cost of the door and to meet Australian Standards (AS 5040).
