How Much Do Security Screen Doors Cost in Australia? (2025 Edition)

When it comes to protecting your home, investing in a quality security screen door is a smart decision. Understanding the variables that impact the cost can help you make the best choice for your budget and needs.

How Much Do Security Screen Doors Cost?

Custom made products are not easy to put a price tag on as there are many variables. Generally speaking during 2025, you should budget between $1300 to $1600 to have a triple locked, standard sized Security Screen Door custom made and installed (Hinged or Sliding). A Standard size door in Australia is usually around 860mm x 2100mm, so if you have a larger door it will cost a little more.  The variation in the cost will depend on the type of mesh you choose for your security door.

316 Stainless Steel Security Screen Doors (SecureView) – Budget between $1400 to $1500 for a standard size SecureView door

Heavy Duty 316 Stainless Steel Security Screen Doors (SaltWater Series) – Budget between $1500 to $1600 for a standard size SaltWater Series door

Perforated Aluminium Security Screen Doors (Xceed) – Budget between $1350 to $1500 for a standard size Xceed door

Pricing for Security Screens should be very similar in all areas in Australia. Security Doors in Brisbane & The Gold Coast should be a similar price to Security doors in Sydney, Newcastle or Canberra.

What Determines the Cost of a Security Screen Door?

Several factors influence the price of security screen doors, including:

• Material: The type of material you choose—stainless steel woven mesh, or aluminium perforated mesh—can significantly impact the cost.
• Door Size: Standard-sized doors are generally more affordable, while larger doors or those with unique dimensions likely to cost more.
• Locking Mechanisms: Advanced features, like triple locks, provide extra security and increase the price.
• Professional Installation: Getting your door professionally installed ensures it complies with Australian Standards, and adds to the overall cost.

Additional Costs of Custom-Made Security Screen Doors

• You require a non-standard colour (allow from $125 extra)
• You require a wood effect aluminium door frame (allow from $300 extra)
• If you need new door tracks for a sliding door (allow from $30 extra)
• You require a build out frame as your door frame is old or damaged. Security doors attached to a door frame that’s not structurally sound do not meet Australian standards.  (allow for an additional $350)

• A sliding door closer is a more expensive extra at around $480
• A medium sized pet door,  installed into your screen will cost an extra $270 (small & large pet doors also available)
• A door handle colour matched to your door frame colour will be an extra $25 (note that standard door handles are black to match the security mesh colour)
• Scaffolding is required for a high installation
• More than one installer is required (allow for an extra $85 per hour)

Take Advantage of Free Consultations With Measure and Quote

Most Security Door companies offer in-home consultations where they will measure up and provide a quotation, this is the only way to get an exact quotation. Every door frame is a slightly different shape and size and most door frames are not completely square, which is why pricing will vary. A good sales consultant will be able to tell you the benefits of their screening system so you will be able to make an informed chpoice. You can also request proof that the security door meets Australian standards and that it will be installed by a security licenced professional installer.  A Security Door is only as strong as its installation so don’t skimp on the installer.

Why Do Security Screens Cost More Than Flyscreens?

Security screens are much stronger than flyscreens as they have been engineered for home security, to keep intruders out. Security Screens are comprised of components of the highest quality such as security mesh, security door frame, triple lock and the patented fixing method. Although these quality components add to the price of the security screen doors and windows; they can be a home improvement worth investing in. The quality, strength and look of the screen should be considered more important than the cost when looking for a true security solution.
