A security screen door is designed to keep out criminals and allow house air circulation.
-_-Most "security doors" can be ripped out of the frame by hand.
They literally just bend until the three latches comes out of the door frame.
@Diji1: That wouldn't really be a security screen door, it'd be what people call a fly door because it's just flimsy fly mesh. If it's an actual security screen with marine grade 316 mesh and reinforced frame with triple locks, that's going to take a huge amount of force to just RIP out.
Not at all. Usually Security doors from crimsafe and other manufacturers have the cheapest cylinders that are the easiest to pick out of all common hardware. They are designed to sell well and profit the company to the maximum. The cylinder can be upgraded by talking to a locksmith, ask for a replacement cylinder that is less easy to pick.

That's not correct - I used to work in a factory making crimsafe security screen doors and they'd get fitted with whatever cylinder was specced by the owner, and were usually keyed alike to the rest of the house by a locksmith. The default cylinders were by no means the cheapest models or brands.
But the main appeal of a crimsafe door isn't meant to be that's it's pick-resistant, but that you can have the main door open for airflow, and screen door closed and still have a decent level of security against someone trying to force their way in (overzealous JW, Girl Guide brownie seller etc).
I find a battery powered angle grinder does the trick. What about the noise you say? That's covered by my partner mowing your lawn for free so your neighbours don't think anything funny is going on.
@Wombat cave: I'm pretty sure I'd hear you if you were using an angle grinder on my security door. Due to COVID, I'm home 24/7. And your angle grinder won't save you when I swing my steel baseball bat at your head.
There is a very distinct difference between an insect screen and security screen.
I'm with Lukian, my security door is never locked, I use it to keep flies out, not people
It serves as a second point of entry, two doors, two doors crim need to get through.
Depending on your doors, the security screen door may be significantly stronger than the wooden door. Our wooden door is cheap and has a cheap lock set; the screen door has three pin locking.
If you're interested there's an episode of mythbusters where they test a bunch of door locks to see how easy they are to physically break. Only one of them wasn't able to be kicked or shouldered open on the first try by Jamie.
also curious! are their digital locks for screen doors?
I have a security door (mesh) with 3 point lock, was wondering the same thing.
Interested here too. No point having a fancy electronic lock on your main door if the security screen door is latched. The latch itself should be replaceable with a small electronic lock surely?
I have a Samsung lock like this and been looking for a digital lock for my screen door but found nothing. Only solution I found was this crimsafe door with digital lock built in.
Am currently building a house and struggling to find anything for the screen door which is really annoying.
Any tips from anyone appreciated.
I wonder if you can open it with hair drier?
Built-in heat sensor triggers alarm. Not deadbolt, so not recommended for main door anyway..
Trigger alarm and unlock door?
This doesn't look like the deadbolt type, and may not be strong enough unless there's another lock.
It says deadbolt lock when you watch the video on the bunnings website
its deadbolt
It's an external bolt attachment. Ugly as in many opinion, I'll go with the black Lockly smart lock solely for that fact it has an internal deadbolt and looks a lot neater on the inside
I'm thinking about getting the Lockly too - but haven't seen it (with Wifi adapter() below $399.
Not yet, I'm hanging out until I can get the version without the handle for less than the $358
Using Schlage Sense, not too bad. Wish it had fingerprint too!
Good price, but good luck finding stock.

Doesn't sound genuine

updated title!
The photo looks like a legacy mobile phone.
Thanks OP, bought one of the toilet - gives me extra security and privacy when I'm doing my business.
You should probably grab a camera or 2 also, one for inside and one for outside
Wouldn't number 1 AND number 2 go inside?
if some idiot smashes it, are you locked out without a locksmith?
Probably same scenario if the same idiot decide to superglue the normal deadlock key holes. Some of the Samsung models have a mechanical override key and some have a external power connector where you plug in a 9v batt when the door lock is out of battery.
Do you only have one external door? If I got one of these then it would be for convenience - and I could use the key in the back door if this broke.
If you need to replace the lock immediately then you'd have to go with whatever price the lockmsith could find one at or perhaps a different lock afterward if the locksmith cannot get one on the day whereas common hardware is cheap and easy to find. If someone glues a common key cylinder a locksmith removing the cylinder with force can often cause $15-$35 in damaged hardware to the lock setup. If an electronic deadlock fails without key override there's a high chance you'd need to replace the whole lock afterwards. how much people are willing to pay for the convenience of electronic?
Electronic deadlocks/auto deadlatches should always have a sensor to detect overload on the bolt in case the bolt/latch hole swell with weather and binds on the latch/bolt and puts too much strain on the motor to open. With a mechanical key you can choose the amount of force to throw the bolt with and it may withstand more force, also you will sometimes feel if things are going to fail in the near future whereas it may be less aparent with an electric..
Looks like a mobile phone
I’ve got a Kevo 2 digital lock which works like a keyless car key. You just walk up and tap the door and it open. It looks like a normal lock, (I have a period home so I needed it). My GF doesn’t like the wireless function so she just uses a normal key. It suits everyone.
Why doesn't she like wireless?
Re period home - do you mean you prefer how it looks?Hm some pretty bad reviews: https://www.amazon.com/Kwikset-99250-203-Bluetooth-Touch-Ope…
Yes Aesthetics, and the fact that you can't make any changes to a heritage overlay.
It works great, she doesn't like it because the lock bases it's security settings over the strength of the bluetooth signal. You basically need to have your phone in the same place each time you open the lock. If you move your phone, it wont open first time, as a precaution. I always have my phone in my pocket and it works each time for me, but her phone travels around her person, in different bags, pockets, purse, hands. The lock doesn't like that. (It does it so that if you're inside near the lock, the lock wont open if someone outside presses it).
I need one that works with Google Assistant
Hey Siri, get Alexa to tell Google to open the door.
From the video, the high temperature alarm feature unlocks the door automatically - so all you need is a blow torch to unlock the door @_@
You only need a blowtorch to open most doors…
Blowtorch? I think a good pair of boots will do the trick for most house doors.
Unlock from the inside?
Hit a large button.
It's probably more suited to an office space as opposed to your house.
Is working fine to a back door of our house exposed to the elements.
Thanks OP picked one up in Balcatta WA.
Damn.. I went to grab one the lady was like Oh I just sold that! haha
Had one of these for about 15 years now, never had an issue with it, and no one's tried to burn the house down trying to crack it, it does have a large back mount, so only suitable for flush doors or doors with a very wide lock rail
As above, I have had one of this exact model for about 10 years and it still works great. Have to replace the AA batteries once every 6-12 months, which is great. It is on the outside of the house and exposed to the elements (eg rain)
The High Temperature alarm concerns me
Very alarming.
Bought one last year, never use it, it’s annoying to use because you still have to use a key for your door handle. It didn’t fit my door frame trim either so I had to use packers and it looks ugly.
Get the one with built in handleHappy to take it off you. Based in Vic.
Still trying to find cheap installers. I am finding it costs more to install than the price of the lock. Will pm you if I decide to get rid of it.
My front door only has the one deadlock, no knob or handle, so it should be right for me
would you prefer no key so the thief can just smash a window then walk out your front door with everything?
Not sure why negativing, this a good deal based on the price.
Yes this ugly, just as Samsung Smart Bluetooth Rim Lock.And this is design to work with door handle, as this is work as deadlock.
This is the lock picking lawyer… and today we are going to use sheer intimidation to open this lock.
If anyone bought extra in Adelaide, and changed their mind pm me pls
Doubt there was even any stock in SA
There were 3 at the Bunnings in Mile End.
Called in and reserved a unit at 10am. Picked up at around 12:30’ish pm.
By the time I got there, I think the rest were gone.Website said pretty much only Modbury had stock.
Forgot to mention that this was yesterday (Friday).
Just installed it (today, Saturday).
Works a treat (installed it on an internal door). Had to use the packers tho.
Me too. Looking for one in SA
What do people use for their security screen door with digital types?
