Front and back doors can be secured by the addition of a security screen door or grille which allows you to safely leave the doors open for air flow. It also means you can safely answer the door with a degree of confidence. Security doors are constructed of steel or aluminum. Steel is the stronger product but of course the cost is higher. Both need to comply with Australian Standards and it is a good idea to check this prior to purchase. Please note that this standard clearly states that one should not rely upon these doors to provide total security. If the security door is installed opening outwards, intruders cannot easily force their way in.

for windows are an added safety device chosen by some householders, as are security louvres which open like venetian blinds but lock shut. Wrought iron grilles are popular too and can form a feature of the outside of the home itself. Custom made wrought iron grilles and screens can be most attractive while providing effective security. It is most important that the frame is extremely strong and the lock top quality.
