Unmatched Strength and Security

Strength and security are the benefits that established Crimsafe Security Screens as a leader when it comes to security options. Our security screens are made of a 304-grade tensile stainless-steel mesh and unique screw-clamp technology to anchor it in place. The combination of our mesh and tamper-resistant screws is what makes Crimsafe stronger and harder to get through than our competitors.

Unmatched Style

While some may think that style has to be sacrificed to obtain better protection, that simply isn’t the truth. In fact, one of the greatest benefits of Crimsafe Security Screens is that style and security go hand-in-hand. Every security screen is measured and customized for the space where it will be used. Whether it’s a door, window, or outdoor enclosure, every Crimsafe will be built to be the perfect size and shape.

Size and shape aren’t where customization options end either.

What is a Security Screen?

Crimsafe Security and Storm Screens took America by storm when they came to the country in 2009. Originally from Australia, these one-of-a-kind security and storm screens have served to secure, protect, and enhance the lives of home and business owners. How does Crimsafe do it all? It all boils down to the product features that make up our security and storm screens and how we put them together.

304-Grade Stainless-Steel Mesh

Each of our security and storms screens uses our Tensile-Tuff, stainless-steel mesh to ensure they have the strength needed to protect you and your loved ones. The key is the 304-grade stainless steel we use. 304-grade stainless steel provides wires for the mesh that have a higher tensile strength and hardness than other stainless steel, and when powder coated, withstands corrosion from the elements.

The mesh that makes up our screens plays a pivotal role in many of the benefits that Crimsafe brings to your home or business. Every mesh screen is engineered out of 0.9mm stainless-steel wires that are woven together to form squares that are only 1.5mm wide and high. Between the size of the wire and the method in which the mesh is woven, our screens become stronger than the competition without compromising the visibility through the screen. These factors also play a significant role in keeping tiny pests like flies and mosquitoes from entering your space.

Crimsafe Hardware

The big parts aren’t the only pieces making a difference in Crimsafe Security and Storm Screens. Every component of our security screens plays a key role in ensuring the protection of your home or business. From the stainless-steel hinges that secure our screen doors in place to the three-point parrot-beak locks that provide more security than a deadbolt lock, every piece of hardware makes a difference.

Patented Screw-Clamp™

The muscle inside the frame of all Crimsafe Screens is our unique screw-clamp technology. This proprietary tech secures the mesh to the frame and is the brains behind the strength of the screen.  The clamp uses a unique “hook” feature that interlocks into each panel and framing member that holds the screen in place. This hook system keeps the mesh in place, and when force is applied, it distributes impact throughout the frame.

Securing the screen is just one of the unique aspects of our screw-clamp system. Another is the screws that we use to fasten the clamp in place. The Crimsafe team developed a unique screw shape that ensures an additional layer of security for every screen we build. By creating our own screws and drivers that aren’t sold outside of Crimsafe Dealers, customers can feel more secure knowing their security screens can’t be easily removed or tampered with.

Aluminum Alloy Frame

While strength and security are common features across Crimsafe products, you can’t forget how your security and storm screen will look on your home or business. The aluminum frames of every Crimsafe Security and Storm Screen are measured and custom-built to perfectly fit the doors and windows of your home. Available in a variety of colors, you can choose the frame that will look the best on your home without having to make a compromise on strength or security.

Live Life with Crimsafe

From doors to windows, Crimsafe products with all the features to help you and your loved ones feel safe and protected are available. As the strongest security and storm screen on the market, our screens endure hours of testing to guarantee they will stand up to anything that is thrown their way.

Choosing The Best Security Screen Door

Sometimes, you can feel like you want to keep your door open, just to get some fresh air moving through your house. A lot of us solve this problem with a screen door so we can leave the main door open. But some homeowners may worry that these doors won’t do much good to keep burglars or animals out. And they’re not entirely wrong.

Here’s the thing: some security screen doors offer more protection than others. While it’s true that given the right time, a perp can get through almost any type of door, some security screen doors can make it harder for someone on the outside to try and break through.

Here are some items to consider when shopping for security screen doors.

Type of Security Screen Door

Not all security screen doors are the same, obviously. The first thing you need to consider when shopping for this type of door is your budget: how much security does your budget allow?  The higher the quality materials that are used, the more costly it can be. While steel doors offer the best protection, aluminum doors can still give you a sense of security.

What to Consider

Once you decide on the type of security screen door you need, you need to consider a few other important factors too:

The Frame

The frame can be made from other materials than the screen, usually aluminum or steel. As you’ve probably guessed already, steel is stronger than aluminum and offers more security to the frame. On the other hand, aluminum is less prone to corrode. Other than the metal used, the frame should have a deep receiver channel and be reinforced at the corners.

The Screen/Grilles

Steel bars offer the best security but can obstruct your view and ruin the aesthetic of your entryway. Aluminum screens are more for keeping insects out rather than security while stainless steel mesh provides security without spoiling the view.

Locks and Hinges

You should also analyze the door’s locks and hinges. The locks should ideally be a five-pin cylinder or the equivalent. The door should have at least three hinges with fixed pins that cannot be removed to offer extra protection.

Custom Made

Consider purchasing your security screen door from a manufacturer or supplier who can also modify it based on your needs. If the door dimensions are off even by just a few millimeters, then the installation process can’t take place.

Research

Use the internet to see if the screen door you want to buy or the company that makes it has any reviews. Other people who’ve made the same choice may have given a description of it, and you can use them to see if you should keep looking or not.

 Back to You

These are the basic things you should consider when shopping for a security screen door. Keep these characteristics in mind and you’ll definitely make the right choice for your home and your family.
