Why the Last $100 of Your Security Quote Is the Most Important
The difference between a screen that survives a real break-in attempt and a screen that fails is rarely the mesh. It's the accessories.
The difference between a screen that survives a real break-in attempt and a screen that fails is rarely the mesh. The mesh is usually the same. The difference is in the accessories, the locks, the hinges, the striker plates, the screws, the seals, and whether the installer chose them for security or for cost.
A security door is primarily a security product. The accessories are not secondary. They are the components that determine whether the door actually performs the job it was sold to do.
If the accessories make a $100 to $300 difference on the quote and they are the components that determine whether the door performs in a real attempt, that is not a saving worth making. That is the most important money in the entire installation.

The Securelux approach
Every Securelux door and window includes the full standard hardware set as a baseline, not an upgrade. When you compare quotes, ask what locks, hinges and striker plates are included, not just what mesh is used. Call 1300 11 51 51 or book a free consultation to see the difference in person.
