Durability and Environmental Resilience
Our swinging doors are finished with a high-durability powder coating that is tested against the elements. This coating prevents the “tea-staining” or oxidation that often occurs with lower-quality metals. Because we prioritize grade steel, our doors are suitable for high-pollution or high-salt environments, maintaining their structural integrity and aesthetic finish for decades.
Impact and Knife Shear Testing Standards
Every door we install is built to pass the Knife Shear Test and the Dynamic Impact Test. These tests involve a mechanical blade attempting to slice the mesh and a heavy weight being repeatedly slammed into the center of the door. The high-tensile mesh we use is designed to absorb and dissipate the energy of an impact, ensuring the door remains in its frame. For more technical information on metal durability and safety standards, homeowners can consult the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP).
Maintenance and Longevity
To ensure your swinging security door operates smoothly for a lifetime, minimal maintenance is required. We recommend cleaning the mesh and frame with a soft cloth and a mild detergent every few months to remove salt and dust buildup. The hinges and lock should be treated with a dry silicone lubricant annually to maintain their fluid motion.
It is important to avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can damage the protective powder coating. If your home is located within five kilometers of the coast, we recommend a more frequent cleaning schedule to prevent salt crystallization on the mesh. By following these simple steps, you ensure that the door remains as beautiful and secure as the day it was installed.
Architectural Versatility and Curb Appeal
We believe that home security should not look institutional. Our swinging security doors feature a sleek, modern profile that complements any architectural style, from traditional colonial to contemporary minimalist. We offer a wide range of custom colors to match your existing door jambs and trim, ensuring that the security door becomes a seamless extension of your home’s design.
The black mesh provides a “one-way” privacy effect during the daylight hours. While you can see out with perfect clarity, it is difficult for passersby to see into your home. This allows you to enjoy the view of your front yard and the fresh air without feeling exposed to the street.
The Professional Installation Process
David and the team at Security Screen Doors take a meticulous approach to every project. We start with a millimetre-perfect measurement of your door opening, taking into account any irregularities in the door jamb or floor level. This precision ensures that the door sits flush within its frame, leaving no gaps for insects or prying tools.
Once the door is custom-manufactured, our installers securely anchor the frame into the structural timber of your home. We then calibrate the triple-lock system and the automatic door closer to ensure the door shuts securely every time. Our goal is to provide a stress-free experience that results in a significant upgrade to your home’s value and safety.
