Security Screen Doors

For comfort and security in your home, you can't go wrong installing a security screen door to your exterior entranceways. Steel security screen doors are constructed in such a way that the metal bars across the open screen panels can be laser cut into the steel in any shape or design you might want. Most manufacturers of steel security screen doors offer dozens of stock designs including figures and patterns. These doors come in many different colors and finishes to match any exterior motif you want for your dwelling. Special security features on residential security screen doors are concealed welded hinges, flush mounted insect screens and machined latch holes so there is no danger of the metal splitting.

Residential security screen doors also come equipped with heavy-duty one and two cylinder deadbolt locks and strong metal levers that come in a number of complimentary finishes. There are a number of screen options as well, from traditional wire mesh to screen sheets that are perforated with various sized holes to control the amount of air and visibility. Another option available from most security screen door manufacturers is the ability to install secure pet doors. There are many reputable companies offering steel security screen doors on the internet. Titan Security located in Gilbert, Arizona is one of the best manufacturers of quality steel security screen doors to buy from.

One of the main differences in installing a steel security screen door from a regular wooden screen door is that you have to have a heavy wood frame for the 4" to 6" anchor bolts to be set into. Also, the manufacturers suggest that your latch side be on the same side as the primary entrance door so the embedded anchor supports can compliment each other's strengths. While it is possible to install the security screen door yourself, most manufacturers recommend letting their trained specialists do the installation and check for any potential weaknesses in the structure so as to assure the most security for your new door.

Due to the high quality materials used in the standard security screen door, a minimum of maintenance is required to achieve years of dependable security. Usually only an occasional graphite oiling of the locks and latches will keep the hardware trouble free and the screens and powder coat paints used on the surfaces are recommended to be cleaned with mild soap and water .

Steel security screen doors can also be modified for your patio and other exterior doors and are even capable of changing single door openings to a double door if your design plans so desire.
