Are security doors and screens worth it? Safety is priceless, sure, but when it comes to budgeting for your family, is the price tag of a security door appropriate compared to how it could improve your house?

If you’re building or renovating your home, it’s fair to be looking to keep costs down. We’re happy to believe it won’t be too hard to convince you that a security door is high on the essentials list, and is an investment that pays for itself in no time. Here’s what makes security doors worth it for safety, curb appeal, longevity, lifestyle and peace of mind.

What features justify the cost of My Security Door?

Unbreakable

My Security Door uses quality materials that are impossible to break through or force open (even with tools!). We ensure our security doors meet or exceed Australian safety standards.

Fit with laser-precision

In 30 years of custom-fitting security doors, we’ve never seen a perfectly straight doorway. We use laser technology to custom-fit your door flush to create the most robust fit possible.

Quality lasts for years and years

My Security Doors are powder coated with zinc for superior protection from the elements. It’s easy to keep our security doors clean, too.

Resistant to cracks and deformities

Our steel or hybrid materials are impervious to heat and other environmental factors that could lead to cracking or swelling. Our security doors can withstand gale-force storm conditions with no to minimal surface damage.

The benefits of security doors for homeowners

The cost of security doors can pay for itself in a few ways, including:

Curb appeal

My Security Door pairs Australia’s leading technology with exclusive designer security door styles that you can customise to your home aesthetic. No need to choose between style and safety! You can even create a unique design with our door visualiser.

Resale value

If the day comes to sell your home, or even if you want to rent it out, a security door can increase the value and appeal of your house.

Lower insurance costs

Did you know some insurance premiums will lower if you have security doors and windows? Reducing the chances of an unwanted intruder will reduce the chances that you’d need to make a home and contents claim!

The lifestyle benefits of security doors

Investing in a security door is like buying peace of mind and comfort. Life with a security door means you can enjoy:

Better airflow

On those hot Aussie days, having airflow through the house can be a game-changer. A secure screen means you can leave your door open and relax wherever you are in the house, knowing nobody unwanted can get through the mesh, be it people or bugs! You might even save money on air conditioning.

Choose your level of privacy and light

My security door offers exclusive design options to allow varying levels of light into each area of your home, and your ideal degree of privacy. Check out some great examples of styles that offer privacy without sacrificing light in our hybrid security door range.

Peace of mind that you’re protecting what matters most

Rest easier knowing your family is safe overnight with impenetrable security doors. Truly relax when away from home, without worrying about your valuables (or any family members that stayed home!). Not only do security doors make it impossible for an intruder to enter your home, but they also act as a deterrent to stop burglars from even trying.

Is the cost of security doors worth it?

Yes! Security doors and screens can lower prices as a homeowner, including insurance and cooling bills. They can also increase the value of your property and offer peace of mind that your home is a sanctuary for what you love the most.
