The great debate: security screen doors, safety doors or barrier doors?

With so many different types of security screen doors on the market, how do you know which one is right for your home? A barrier door? Safety screen door? Security screen? Even though they may do similar things, there are many differences between the different types of security doors.


What is a barrier screen?

A barrier screen (otherwise called a safety screen) is what the name entails: a barrier. Often used to keep bugs out, it allows air to flow. It’s important to note that a barrier screen is not a security door. A barrier screen or safety screen may look like a security screen, but it has not met the Australian Standards for security screens. And, while a safety screen may deter opportunistic criminals, it cannot guarantee to prevent break-ins. 

 

What is a security screen door?

Designed to withstand forced entry, all security screens in Australia must pass several tests to meet Australian Standards AS5039-2008. The tests include: 


If a screen does not pass the tests, it cannot be called a security screen in Australia! Therefore if you want the toughest security on the market, purchase a security screen door.
