Security doors and screens let Brisbane homeowners enjoy fresh air circulation while keeping families safe from intruders, insects, and debris. These products combine the ventilation benefits of traditional fly screens with robust security engineering that standard mesh simply cannot match.
Miza Home Security recommends and installs Prowler Proof welded security doors and screens because of their superior strength, clean appearance, and reliable warranty support. This Australian-made brand uses fully welded frames rather than screws or rivets, creating a rigid structure that withstands forced entry attempts far beyond industry norms.
Key Takeaways
Security doors and screens allow doors and windows to stay open for fresh air while creating a strong barrier against intruders—the presence of visible security screens can deter criminals by signaling a hardened target.
All genuine security screen products in Australia must comply with Australian Standards AS 5039; homeowners should look for permanent compliance labels on the door frame or window screen edge.
Prowler Proof products feature fully welded construction and are independently tested to exceed Australian Standards, which is why Miza Home Security uses them exclusively.
Standard fly screens offer insect protection only, while security doors and security screens use reinforced frames, high-tensile stainless steel mesh or perforated aluminium, and robust locks.

Window grilles and window screens in various styles

Frames can be powder coated in over 300 colours to suit existing joinery.
Why Miza Home Security Uses Prowler Proof Products
Miza Home Security has chosen Prowler Proof as its primary supplier because these products deliver quality, appearance, and long-term warranty support that other brands cannot match.
Prowler Proof doors and screens are fully welded (not screwed or riveted), creating a stronger, more rigid frame that resists jemmying and impacts up to 200 joules in independent testing.
Products are manufactured in a fully automated Queensland factory, ensuring consistent quality and precise tolerances through robotic welding.
Prowler Proof security doors are tested to, and often exceed, relevant Australian Standards for security, corrosion resistance, and bushfire performance.
Using Prowler Proof allows Miza to offer full replacement warranties and reliable after-sales service.
The welded construction eliminates weak points found in riveted alternatives, where joints can loosen under repeated attack.
Understanding Security Doors vs Fly Screens
A fly screen keeps out insects and allows breeze through your windows, but it offers almost no resistance to forced entry. A compliant security door or security window screen is engineered to create a sturdy barrier against intruders.
Security doors use sturdy frames, heavy-duty triple locks, and high-tensile mesh (such as ForceField) or perforated aluminium (such as Protec), while fly screens use light insect gauze and simple framing.
Security doors are designed to provide a strong barrier against intruders, often constructed from materials like stainless steel and aluminium for enhanced durability.
Security features like 3-point locking systems and reinforced materials enhance effectiveness against forced entry.
Many cheap “barrier doors” or “safety doors” sold at hardware stores are not compliant products and may fail basic security tests, potentially failing when you need them most.
Security needs may dictate the choice of door, with considerations for strength, visibility, and airflow determined by the infill material.
Use security doors for front, side, and rear entrance points; fly screens or blinds suit low-risk areas where protection is far less critical.
Types of Security Doors & Screens We Offer
Miza Home Security supplies a range of Prowler Proof options to suit different homes and budgets across the market.
Protec perforated aluminium doors: Perforated aluminum screens are lightweight yet robust, offering a balance between security and aesthetic appeal. Strong corrosion resistance makes them ideal for Brisbane bayside homes, with good visibility and airflow. Prowler Proof’s Protec is rated to Security Levels SL200, the highest available in Australia.
ForceField stainless steel mesh doors: Security screens can be made from various materials, but stainless steel security screens, particularly those made from genuine Meshtec 316 grade stainless steel, are known for their durability and resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for harsh environments. These screens provide excellent clarity and superior strength, and the highest visibility and airflow. Prowler Proof’s ForceField is rated to Security Levels SL200, the highest available in Australia.
Welded Prowler Proof doors and window screens: Feature fully welded corners, neat appearance with no visible screws, and compatibility with triple locking systems. Prowler Proof’s two Diamond options, Welded Diamond and SnapLock are tested and have passed the Australian Standard for security, most diamond grilles are non compliant, and they are rated to Security Levels SL100.
Decorative and heritage-look doors: Feature sand cast aluminium decorative panels to maintain character façades.
- Fall Prevention Screens: Prowler Proof’s Guardian fall prevention window screen is designed for use in second storey windows that require compliance to the NCC for fall prevention.
Fly screens : Ideal where insect protection and fresh air are priorities, but they are not a substitute for compliant security doors on main or vulnerable entry points.
Security Door Installation & Free Measure Service
Professional installation of security doors and screens is crucial for ensuring optimal fit and maximum security, as improper installation can compromise the effectiveness of the security features. Even the strongest door fails if it is not fitted correctly.
Miza Home Security offers a free measure service where a technician visits your house, assesses door frames and existing hardware, and takes precise measurements for each opening.
Custom build doors are manufactured based on these measurements to ensure a tight, tamper-resistant fit with correct clearances around frames and sills.
Security door installation should be performed by licensed professionals to ensure compliance with Australian Standards and to guarantee the durability and effectiveness of the security features.
The installation process for security doors typically involves an initial consultation, precise measurements, custom manufacturing, and professional installation by trained technicians.
Installers check that doors open and close smoothly, latch properly, and clear thresholds safely for children and older family members
Single door installation is typically completed within 2-3 hours on-site.
Compliance with Australian Standards: How to Check You’re Protected
It is essential for security doors and screens to meet Australian Standards AS5039 to ensure genuine protection.
Compliant products undergo rigorous tests including impact resistance, jemmy resistance, knife shear attacks, probe attacks, and pull tests simulating real break-in attempts.
To claim to be a security screen product the screen must have been tested and passed Australian Standards AS5039, and be labelled with a manufacturing compliance label.
Prowler Proof doors and screens are independently tested and certified to these Australian Standards, giving Miza Home Security confidence in their performance.
How to verify compliance: Look for permanent labels on the door frame or edge referencing AS 5039, and ask for compliance documentation from your installer.
- If no label, documentation, or brand information is available, contact Miza Home Security for a professional assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are fly screens enough, or do I really need a security door?
Standard fly screens are designed to stop insects and allow airflow, but they use light gauze and frames that can be cut or pushed in easily within seconds, offering almost no resistance to intruders. A compliant security door combines a strong frame, tested mesh, and robust locking hardware, making it much harder to force open. The presence of visible security screens can deter intruders by signaling a hardened target and causing criminals to bypass the home. Use fly screens in low-risk areas and compliant security doors on main entry points.
How can I tell if my existing screen or door meets Australian Standards?
Look for a permanent compliance label on the frame or door edge that references AS 5039, and includes the manufacturer’s name. Check original paperwork or contact the installer to confirm the model was compliant. If there is no label, no documentation, and no brand information available, the door may not be compliant—Miza Home Security can provide a professional assessment.
How long does security door installation usually take from measure to completion?
Timeframes depend on workload and joint schedules, but custom-built security doors typically take a couple of weeks from order to installation once deposit is paid. On-site installation of a single door is usually completed within a few hours, including removal of old screens, fitting, lock installation, and final adjustments. Ask for current lead times during your free measure.
Can security screens help with bushfire or coastal conditions?
Selected Prowler Proof’s security screens offer good performance in bushfire-prone areas when matched to the correct BAL rating. Perforated aluminium options like Protec and high-quality powder coated frames suit coastal conditions where corrosion resistance is important. Discuss your specific location and exposure with Miza Home Security to ensure the correct mesh and frame combination.
What does a security door cost?
The price of security doors can vary significantly based on materials, design, and size, with costs typically ranging from $800 to over $1,500 depending on the specifications. Installation costs for security doors can also affect the total price depending on the fitting accessories required to ensure compliance.
