Dolomite Security Screens
Buyer guide
A plain-English buyer guide to security screen doors, Australian Standards, installation quality, locks, mesh and practical home safety.
Not every screen door is a security door
When comparing products, ask what standard the product is tested to, how the mesh is retained, how the frame is fixed, and whether the installation method suits your existing doorway. A weak frame or poor fixing can reduce the value of even a high-quality screen.

✓

✓
Will the screen allow safe exit in an emergency?
✓
What cleaning is required in coastal conditions?
Layered protection
A security screen helps, but it should work alongside lighting, locks, cameras, alarms and good household routines. The goal is to delay, deter and make everyday living more comfortable.
