Leave the door open and keep the house locked. Security screens for doors and windows, specified for the salt air they will actually live in.
The whole point of a security screen is being able to leave the front door open on a warm evening with the house still locked. Done properly you get airflow, insect protection and a physical barrier at once. Done badly it rattles, corrodes within a few summers and gives you a false sense of security.
Coastal homes from Caloundra to Noosa need screens specified for the exposure, not the catalogue:
This is where most security installs quietly fail. The screen is solid, the frame it is bolted to is not.
As a qualified carpenter and joiner, Garry checks the frame and jamb before anything is fitted. Where timber has softened or the jamb has moved, that gets repaired first. There is no point bolting a security door into rotten timber and calling the house secure.
Entry and back doors, keyed to suit, colour matched to your frames.
For patio and stacking openings where a hinged door would foul.
Fixed and openable, meeting airflow and egress requirements.
Damaged mesh and worn hardware replaced without a whole new door.
Where shade matters as much as security.
Screening larger openings and outdoor rooms as a full enclosure.
Most homes end up with a mix. See retractable screens for the openings you want clear, and motorised screens for the wide ones.

No. A properly specified security screen is designed to keep airflow. The mesh acts as a barrier while still letting air move through the opening, which is the entire reason to fit one.
Any screen will if it is the wrong specification for the location. For coastal homes we specify marine-grade and powder-coated frames with matched hardware, and recommend a periodic rinse and service to extend the life.
Often yes. Damaged mesh can be replaced and worn locks, hinges and closers swapped out. If the frame is sound, repair is usually better value. See our door and window repairs page.
Yes. Sliding security doors suit patio and stacking openings where a hinged door would foul the space. They run on their own track alongside the existing door.
