You know the security doors with the mesh and the criss-cross pattern of aluminium or whatever the frame of the door is made from? You tend to see them on one panel of a 2-3 panel door or 2 panel window, for instance. I'm just wondering how they work? I mean, obviously they do offer more security as they lock and blah, blah, but how come they're always only on one panel? Anyone could just smash the other panels without them (with just glass)? How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing! Re: How do security doors actually work!? 2Jun 06, 2008 8:08 pm How very sad. Replying to my own post.
Does nobody know the answer to this, or is my question so inane that it's actually incoherent? How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing! Re: How do security doors actually work!? 3Jun 06, 2008 9:14 pm It all depends on the level of security you are after.
For people who have one security door on a 2-3 door panel, it will allow them to answer the door without a potential intruder forcing themselves in. On windows, security screens normally come with flymesh. So, you can air your room without easy entry. In the above examples, intruder would have to break an adjacent window for example, to get in. So, this level of security is OK but not very high level. Putting security screens/doors everywhere would normally make a house look ... well, like a jail. For some not-so-nice suburbs, and many Asian countries, barred windows are the norm.

Half the time people have **** $50 bunnings latches screwed in with like 25mm screws into soft timber door frames a gentle lean would be enough to push this in.
A security door can lock in more than one place and often the hinges are reinforced. Also its easier to push a door in than pull one out so deadlocks on the main door and the flywire make the doorway a lot less inviting. To be honest getting into a house is a piece of ***, but you want to make the openings as small as possible to get **** out. It seems very clear to me that your contract states that a security account does NOT need to be established so the answer to the builder is NO.
