True Strength Starts Beneath the Surface: What Real Durability Means

True durability in security screen doors isn't just about how thick the mesh looks or how strong the aluminium frame feels. It's about how the entire product — from the 316 marine grade stainless steel mesh to the aluminium framing — performs under pressure, impact, and time. The strongest security door doesn't just resist one kind of stress; it holds firm across years of use, weather extremes, and deliberate attacks.

At Gold Coast Security Screens, we rely on 316 marine grade stainless steel because it's proven to withstand corrosion in coastal environments. Unlike cheaper alternative products or perforated aluminium mesh, this grade of steel is engineered to ensure you get maximum protection and long-term strength.

When our local experts manufacture and install Crimsafe products, whether security doors or security screens, we follow strict Australian Standards (AS 5039 and AS 5040), ensuring each screen door, grille, and frame meets or exceeds national benchmarks. That's why our Crimsafe Ultimate and Crimsafe Safe-S-Cape products are not just strong — they're proven under real-world tests that simulate what intruders and the environment can deliver.

What defines real durability:

  • 1

    Material integrity – 316 marine grade stainless steel that resists corrosion and stretching.

  • 2

    Structural bonding – exclusive Crimsafe screw-clamp system that holds the mesh without weakening.

  • 3

    Environmental resilience – resistance to UV exposure, salt, and humidity, tested for coastal climates.

This commitment to quality provides homeowners not just safety, but confidence that their investment in a security screen or door is built to last decades, not years.

True strength goes beyond what you can see — it's built into every Crimsafe frame, every joint, and every finish. Our custom Crimsafe security doors and screens are engineered to deliver long-term protection with refined style, standing as a smarter alternative to roller shutters. With our commitment to precision measure and expert installation, you can trust that every fit is secure and seamless.

Forced Entry vs. Weather Damage: The Two Durability Battles Every Door Faces

Did you know most burglaries happen in broad daylight? Gold Coast Security Screens keeps you safe 24/7 by testing both the human and environmental challenges your security doors face.

Durability isn't a single test — it's two battles fought simultaneously: forced entry resistance and weather endurance. Security doors must perform flawlessly in both to be called premium.

1. Forced Entry Resistance

Security tests like dynamic impact and jemmy testing simulate real-world intruder tactics. The 316 stainless steel mesh and triple-lock system in Crimsafe products exceed Australian Standards by absorbing high-impact energy without tearing, stretching, or detaching from the frame. The crimpact test — unique to Crimsafe — evaluates mesh tension under sudden attack, proving its ability to maintain integrity when it matters most.

2. Weather and Corrosion Resistance

Living on the Gold Coast means exposure to salty air, high humidity, and intense sunlight. Inferior steel can stain, oxidize, or lose strength over time. That's why our Crimsafe products use powder-coated finishes on aluminium frames and stainless mesh designed to resist corrosion up to 10 times longer than standard steel alternatives.

The combination of UV-resistant coatings, bushfire-rated materials, and rigorous salt-spray tests ensures your security screen doors, sliding doors, French doors, bi-fold doors, shutters, and windows stay strong and stylish through every season. With the Crimsafe Ultimate range, corrosion resistance and tensile strength exceed traditional standards, offering homeowners true peace of mind.

When it comes to protection, every home deserves the proven resilience of Crimsafe. Our custom doors are built to withstand both intruders and the harsh coastal climate, providing security that doesn't compromise on appearance or function. Unlike traditional roller shutters, our designs offer sleek strength that complements your home's look.

Security Ratings Decoded: How PAS 24, AS 5039 & LPS 1175 Measure Up

Before you buy security doors or security screens, see why Gold Coast Security Screens is the gold standard. Many homeowners are unaware that not all "security doors" meet the same standard of protection. Understanding how tests and certifications differ helps you make an informed, confident choice.

Australian Standards (AS 5039, AS 5040, AS 5041)
These standards define construction, installation, and test methods for security doors and windows. They include impact testing, knife shear testing, and jemmy resistance — all crucial for proving strength.

LPS 1175 (UK Standard)
This British rating grades products based on delay times and resistance levels during simulated attacks. Crimsafe doors that achieve equivalent resistance levels show they can handle sustained assault attempts without structural failure.

PAS 24 (European Standard)
Focused on residential protection, PAS 24 includes forced-entry testing on hinges, locks, and mesh systems. It complements Australian testing by confirming the product's resistance under varying global conditions.

Why this matters for you:

  • A door meeting only flyscreen standards is not a true barrier.

  • Crimsafe doors tested to AS 5039 levels provide real protection.

  • LPS and PAS ratings prove global compliance for export and residential confidence.

Gold Coast Security Screens ensures every Crimsafe screen and security door installed locally is built, tested, and certified to these demanding benchmarks, guaranteeing both safety and long-term value.

When certification and performance matter, Crimsafe sets the benchmark for true security. Our custom security doors are crafted to meet and exceed international standards, delivering tested strength with refined design. Unlike roller shutters that prioritize coverage over clarity, Crimsafe security screens and doors provide continuous protection without compromising your view or airflow. For security that's certified, stylish, and built for your lifestyle, request a quote today and discover how our expertly engineered custom Crimsafe security doors, screens, and windows redefine what home safety really means.

Test Type Purpose Standard Exceeded
Dynamic Impact Test Simulates forced entry (like a kick or crowbar) AS 5039 / Exceeds LPS 1175

These tests simulate conditions from deliberate intrusion to Gold Coast's tropical climate. The woven 316 marine grade stainless steel mesh in Crimsafe security doors consistently outperforms perforated alternatives, resisting stretching, tearing, and corrosion.

In numbers:

  • Crimsafe withstands impact energy up to 550 Joules — over 5 times the Australian Standard.

  • Retains up to 99% visibility and airflow, preserving your view and ventilation.

  • Maintains structural integrity after 1,000+ hours of salt-spray testing.

That's strength you can trust — not just marketing claims, but measurable, proven results.
