Superior Home Security

Crimsafe doors are designed to resist break-ins, offering unparalleled protection. Their structural integrity, combined with patented Screw-Clamp™ technology, ensures that the stainless steel mesh is securely fastened to the frame, making it nearly impossible for intruders to break through. This advanced system offers peace of mind for you and your family.

Enhanced Durability

Crimsafe security doors are built to last. Made from high-tensile stainless steel mesh and robust frames, these doors withstand the test of time and extreme weather conditions, including cyclones and bushfires. Unlike traditional security doors, they are corrosion-resistant and require minimal maintenance.

Improved Ventilation and Natural Light

One of the standout features of Crimsafe doors is their ability to allow fresh air and natural light into your home without compromising security. The fine stainless steel mesh provides excellent airflow, keeping your home well-ventilated while maintaining a safe barrier against potential threats.

Unobstructed Views

Unlike traditional bars or grills, Crimsafe doors offer clear and unobstructed views of the outdoors. The sleek and stylish design ensures that you can enjoy the beauty of your surroundings without feeling confined or compromising on security.

Energy Efficiency

Crimsafe doors improve insulation, contributing to energy savings. The tightly woven mesh reduces heat transfer, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This efficiency can lead to lower energy bills, making the doors an eco-friendly choice for homeowners.

Protection Against Insects

Say goodbye to pesky insects. The fine mesh of Crimsafe doors acts as a barrier against mosquitoes, flies, and other unwanted pests. You can enjoy a bug-free environment without sacrificing ventilation or the need for additional screens.

Bushfire Protection

For homeowners in bushfire-prone areas, Crimsafe doors provide an added layer of safety. They are designed to meet rigorous fire safety standards, protecting against flying embers and radiant heat, which can ignite homes during a bushfire.

Increased Property Value

Installing Crimsafe security doors is an investment that pays off in the long run. They enhance your home's aesthetic appeal and increase its market value. Potential buyers will likely appreciate the added security and modern design, making your property stand out in the real estate market.

Customizable Designs

Crimsafe doors are available in various styles, colors, and configurations, allowing you to tailor the design to suit your home’s aesthetics. Whether you have a contemporary or traditional home, these doors seamlessly integrate with your décor while enhancing its overall appearance.

Long-Term Cost Savings

While the initial investment in Crimsafe security doors may be higher than standard options, their durability, low maintenance requirements, and energy-saving benefits result in significant cost savings over time. You won’t need to worry about frequent replacements or repairs, making them a cost-effective choice for the long haul.

Online Screens &
Installation

Crimsafe Security Screens & Professional Installation

Pros

• The cheaper option
• Convenient 

• Humm payments available 
• Accurate measurements and custom-made screens

Cons

• Potentially inaccurate measurements
• Unsafe and difficult installation

• Takes a little longer from on-site quote, manufacture and installation 

Before you go searching for the cheapest security screens online, ask yourself these questions:

1. Do I Know What Products I Need?

Knowing which type, colour and style of security screens would best suit the windows and doors of your home can be difficult. Usually, this requires a trained professional to determine what product would be best for you. 

Think about it like this…

Would you expect yourself or someone with no building qualifications or experience to be able to build a house?

Probably not.

Yet, so many people end up having a negative experience trying to buy screens online because they have done just that.

Still think you’re up for the challenge? Consider this…

Does your door opening need a sliding Crimsafe door, a Crimsafe bi-fold door, a Crimsafe stacker door or a Crimsafe hinged door? Would a Crimsafe Safe-S-Cape, fixed panel or sliding security screen be best for your windows? Do the screens need to be installed internally or externally?

Ummm…confusing, huh?!

But it doesn’t have to be, when you organise a free measure-and-quote with one of Davcon’s trained employees who can assess which product is right for you. 

2. Can I Provide Accurate Measurements?

Most online security screen suppliers require you to enter your own dimensions when ordering screens online. The problem with this is that the measurements you take may not be the correct measurements needed for manufacturing. Providing measurements for your new screens is not as simple as providing a height and width measurement. You must measure the door opening and the height and width of the door in three places. As well as this, you’re required to decide which side you want the lock to be on, and measure the top of the existing handle, among other tasks such as replacement track and build out frame. If just reading these steps is giving you mini heart palpitations, don’t stress. Our friendly staff will take care of all this when they visit your home in-person for a check and measure and free no-obligation quote.

Accurate measurements are essential for the screens to be effective in securing your home in the best possible way. Inaccurate measurements can result in the screens being unable to be used, not providing accurate security and could end up costing you more money in the long run. Sourcing alternative products to replace your initial purchase is time-consuming, costly and frustrating.

3. Am I Confident Installing the Screens Myself?

Are you excited by the prospect of DIY projects or does the thought of setting up an IKEA flat-pack make you want to curl into a ball and cry? This is usually a good indicator of whether installing your own security screens is a good option for you. Most online security screen suppliers are ‘supply only’ businesses, which means you are responsible for installing your own screen/s. The installation process can make all the difference to the effectiveness of your screens. Poorly installed screens can potentially be pulled out of the window or be unscrewed if the incorrect tools and screws are used. 

Kind of defeats the purpose of having screens at all if they can be easily tampered with or simply removed, huh?

The installation process can be straight-forward, provided you are able to follow written instructions or video materials AND provided you have done an accurate check measure. For example, not checking for any obstructions such as lights awnings, walls, stairs and uneven ground or concrete that may hinder the swing path of a new security door, which could mean that your purchase is unable to be installed and therefore, pointless.

When you buy security screens from Davcon Security Screens, we include the installation of the screens by one of our trained installation team, so you don’t have to waste hours of your weekend worrying about if your security screens are actually secure. 

4. Do I Have Access to the Right Tools?

While most security screen suppliers will provide you with all the necessary fasteners, drivers, drill bits and spacers required to install your security doors and windows, you will still require tools, such as:

• Metric tape measure
• Pencil
• Phillips Screwdriver (if you buy Crimsafe screens online, you’ll need a driver tool as we use only tamper resistant screws. This means they can’t be removed using a regular screwdriver anyone could get) 
• Straight edge that is longer than your hinged door width
• Cordless Drill
• Hammer
• 12mm Chisel or smaller
• Hacksaw (potentially)
• Utility Knife

If you don’t have access to these tools or have never used these tools before, you will need to do this to correctly and safely install your purchase.

5. Am I really Getting Value For Money?

You want your home and family to be safe, but you still want to be able to afford that holiday away at the end of the year. It makes sense that you want an affordable solution. Online screens are certainly tempting but can be troublesome.

Here’s the thing…

You won’t receive the full benefit of security screens if they are not manufactured and installed correctly. This means that the screens you purchase online for a slight discount, will not be good value for money if they don’t serve their purpose of keeping your property secure or are unable to be used. What may appear to be the cheaper alternative, may cost you more money in the long run. Crimsafe products are known for being durable and come with a 10-year Regular warranty on the frame and mesh. 

An extended warranty is available through Crimsafe direct at www.crimsafe.com.au/warranty.

6. What’s The Return Policy & Can I Cancel Or Change My Order?

You’ll find that some security doors and screens manufactured by online providers custom make their products, which means they cannot be re-sold and are non-refundable. Similarly, as the manufacturing of your order starts straight away, you may find that orders cannot be cancelled or changed.

We understand the convenience of purchasing goods online, however we know you’ll find getting a quote for your Crimsafe security screens with Davcon worthwhile. You can call our office and talk with one of our friendly staff members to organise a free, no-obligation, in-home quote. You can also visit our showroom at any time to see and operate the Crimsafe security products for yourself.

6. Am I really getting what I’m paying for? 

The urge to save money and buy things online can be overwhelming with the cost of living always rising. But you’ll need to think twice if you’re considering buying second-hand Crimsafe screens. There are a lot of potential issues with buying second-hand Crimsafe screens including impact damage or poor quality craftmanship that won’t keep your family safe.

We recommend that whatever your security screen choice – don’t buy second-hand! 

Buying Security Screens Online: It Just Doesn’t Work

There are a number of security screen companies who sell security screens online. Davcon Security Screens has contemplated offering the option of purchasing security screens online, however after careful consideration, opted not to and it’s exactly for the reasons mentioned above. 

Crimsafe is a premium security product and at Davcon, we’re so proud to offer peace of mind to our customers that we don’t want to take any chances. By being present for the measure, manufacture and installation of your products, we can ensure that your Crimsafe security screens are installed properly and will offer maximum protection for your home. 

If we can’t ensure the measurements and installation is correct, then you’re not getting your value for money.
