Home, safe and sound. But what about protecting your place when you’re not home?
Deterrence
Security doors are your first line in defence. They’re a physical barrier and just having one will put an intruder off. Burglars are opportunistic so they’re less likely to target a house with obvious security. They want to get in fast, grab what they can and get out before they get caught. Security doors are a clear deterrent, fortifying your home and telling a would-be thief you’re no easy target.
Protection
Security doors are built tough. They’re designed and tested to stop forced entry. They’re made with a full steel frame and stainless steel mesh and they’re made specifically to withstand force, even against repeated impact. The screen can’t be cut through with a knife and the door can’t be forced open easily either, even with a jemmy or levy.
Most burglars are in a hurry. Their tool kit might be basic but they’re expert at using a crowbar or screwdriver to break in, in no time. There’s no easy grab and go if you have security doors protecting your home. It’s just too hard to force a security door. Given enough time and the right equipment a thief might be able to force an entry, so ensuring that the security screen or door is of high quality and meets Australian standards is important to ensuring your property is secured. The noise and time considerations for breaking through a tough screen will more than likely deter any intruder.
Think security doors to protect all your valuable possessions, your sentimental trinkets and your precious treasures.
Sleep easy

The world feels like an ever more frightening place with scary stories of aggravated burglaries and home invasions in our suburbs. Sleep safe, knowing your security door is effective protection against random attack.
