When shopping for security screens, the thought of “Doing it Yourself” (DIY) may come to mind. It can save money and be a way to challenge yourself. But can you actually install a security door yourself or should you leave it to a professional to install it? Below we will discuss the considerations for  DIY versus BUY-ing a security screen.

 

In Australia, standards must be followed when supplying and installing a legitimate security door or screen product. These include:

  • AS 5039: Security screen doors and security window grilles
  • AS 5040: Installation of security screen doors and window grilles
  • AS 5041: Methods of test – Security screen doors and window grilles

 

DIY may seem like a good idea but in actual fact it not possible to DIY a security screen, the screen will not meet Australian standards, putting your safety at risk.
