Security for Older Homeowners
Ease of use, emergency access, and peace of mind built into every installation.
A different approach to security
Security that works with you, not against you
Security screens for older homeowners are not just about keeping intruders out. They are about ease of operation, emergency access, peace of mind, fall prevention, and the ability to live independently in a home that is safe by design.
The Securelux consultation for an older homeowner is unhurried. We take the time to understand how the home is used day to day, which doors and windows see the most traffic, and what any particular physical considerations might be. The product and hardware choices we make are guided by that conversation, not by a standard specification.
What matters most
Six priorities we address in every consultation
- Ease of operation: screens that open and close without significant force
- Emergency egress: the ability to exit quickly in a fire or medical emergency
- Fall prevention: screens that stop falls through open windows
- Peace of mind: genuine security, not reliance on remembered routines
- Low maintenance: products that do not require regular servicing or battery replacement
- Consistent team: the same people for installation, service, and any follow-up
Hardware options
Easier to operate by design
Lower-friction lock cylinders
Require less turning force to operate than standard cylinders.
Larger key heads for better grip
Easier to hold and turn for people with reduced grip strength.
Lever handles instead of standard handles
Lever-style handles can be operated with a closed fist, reducing the demand on finger and hand joints.
Hinge tension adjusted for easier opening
Securelux installers can calibrate hinge tension during installation, reducing the effort needed to open and close doors.
Emergency egress
Safe-S-Cape: exit quickly when it matters
The Crimsafe Safe-S-Cape screen provides the same high-strength security as standard Crimsafe screens (550-750 joules of impact resistance), but includes a keyless quick-release mechanism on the inside.
In a fire, medical emergency, or any situation requiring rapid exit, the occupant can open the screen from the inside without a key. From the outside, it remains a secure, locked screen.
For older homeowners, Safe-S-Cape is particularly recommended on bedroom windows and primary living area doors, where a blocked exit could be critical.
