Everything you need to know about finding a security screen installer

Your security screen door, and its installation, is critical in ensuring your home’s security.

Before purchasing and installing a security screen door, you may like to consider:

• What level of security you may require;
• What style of door you prefer.
• Whether you prefer an aluminium, steele or stainless steel security door.
• Extra door features, including locks, meshs, grilles, etc.
• Door kits for screens, which are especially useful if you’re attaching the security screen door to a sliding French door. Some manufacturers will provide you with this kit.
• Supplier credentials, and whether your door of choice meets the Australian Standard.
• Whether or not the door-frame is strong enough to support the security door.
• The doors lock, and if it allows for easy unlocking in cases of emergency.
• Gaps, which shouldn’t exceed:
  
  • 4mm between the security door and frame at the locking points.
  • 4 - 6mm between the frame and hinge point
  • 5mm at all other points.

Depending on the type of security screen door you decide to go with, you may or may not require the services of a professional to install it. Any security screen door repairs are best undertaken by the original installer, who will be familiar with the product and also carry the appropriate spare parts.
