CONFUSED ABOUT CHEAP 'SECURITY DOOR' ADVERTISING?
You’re not alone — but not all “security doors” are created equal!
There’s a big difference between a true security door and a barrier or safety door, and it’s important to know what you’re really paying for when it comes to protecting your home and family.
✅ A genuine security door must meet the Australian Standard AS 5039/AS 5039.2:2024 and pass rigorous testing under AS 5039.3 – Methods of Test.
✅ It must have a 3-point lock (standard, not an upgrade) to resist forced entry.
✅ Key locks should feature a 5-pin cylinder minimum (no wafer cylinders).
✅ It should have a compliance label, confirming it’s been manufactured to Australian Standards.
✅ And it must be professionally installed to be effective.
While a compliant security door may cost more than a basic barrier door, the difference lies in real protection — not just appearance.
When you choose an NSSA Member, you’re choosing:
✔️ A compliant product
✔️ Professionally trained and qualified installers
✔️ Peace of mind that your security screen meets the standard it claims to.
Yes, it might cost more than a barrier door, but ask yourself - WHAT IS YOUR FAMILY'S SAFETY WORTH? DON'T BE MISLED BY CHEAPER-NON-COMPLIANT PRODUCTS.
