Alexandra Headland's Crimsafe Security Screen & Door Specialist
For more than 32 years, Alcom has helped Alexandra Headland homeowners live with their doors and windows open — without compromising on security. Get the strongest screens on the market, custom-made and installed by Queensland's own.
Alexandra Headland — known to locals simply as “Alex” — is one of the Sunshine Coast’s most tightly held beachfront addresses, tucked neatly between Mooloolaba and Maroochydore.
From beachfront apartments overlooking the Esplanade to the quieter residential streets behind the Alex Forest Conservation Area, it’s a suburb where the beach really is the backyard.
That coastal lifestyle comes with its own set of considerations — salt air, sea breezes, and the kind of large sliding doors and balconies that make the most of an ocean view.
Alcom’s Crimsafe security screens and doors are custom-measured and manufactured at our own Yatala factory, using powder-coated aluminium framing built to handle coastal exposure without compromising on security or style..
The Crimpact Zone
Crimsafe put their screens through the toughest tests possible, so you can be sure you are in the safest hands
All Crimsafe screens easily pass the Australian Standard Knife Shear Test, because all Crimsafe screens come equipped with their unique Tensile-Tuff® stainless steel mesh. Tensile-Tuff® mesh is 26.5% thicker than typical stainless steel mesh and leads the industry.
The knife shear test uses a heavy duty trimming knife, pulled along the mesh with a force of up to 350N (35kg) and a constant downward pressure of 150N (15kg) for a distance of 250mm.
The test is performed three times along the same line with a new blade fitted each time. In order to achieve a pass the mesh must not be penetrated in a continuous line for more than 150mm.
The Knife Shear Test
The Jemmy Test
All Crimsafe products meet Australian Standards in every section of the lever attack or jemmy test.
The Australian Standard requires a rotational force of up to 450N (45kg) to be applied and held for 20 seconds at all locking, hinging and fastening points around your security screen.
A large screwdriver is inserted at these points and mechanically rotated until either the force required or 80° rotation has been achieved. A security screen door must remain securely locked and a window security screen must remain securely fastened to the window that it is covering to achieve a pass.
The Storm & Cyclone Test
Crimsafe screens are put through more testing that any other security screen in the market.
Doors and windows are the hardest part of your home to protect against the violent, debris-carrying winds of cyclones or severe storms that come through Queensland. Our storm screens within stand debris impacts of up to 46 m/s and wind gusts of up to 392 km/hr.
Why Alexandra Headland Homeowners Choose Crimsafe
Living this close to the ocean means dealing with salt air, humidity, and the occasional summer storm — conditions that age cheaper screens and frames quickly. It’s also a suburb with a mix of permanent residents and short-stay holiday properties, which means homes are sometimes left unoccupied for stretches at a time.
Standard flyscreens keep bugs out and not much else. Crimsafe security screens let you leave doors and windows open for that sea breeze, while standing up to forced entry, storm debris, and the Australian Standard knife shear and jemmy tests that flyscreens were never built to survive.
