If you live in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Ipswich or the Fraser Coast, you know our homes need to do a bit of everything: stay cool and breezy, look great, and—above all—keep families safe. As licensed Crimsafe manufacturers and installers across South East QLD, we custom-build every door and window screen to fit your home perfectly and meet the real-world challenges Queenslanders face.
Why home security screens matter in QLD right now
Queensland recorded 27,521 unlawful entries into dwellings in 2023–24. While overall unlawful entry fell year-on-year, entries with violence rose by 15.1%—a reminder that prevention at the perimeter still matters. Statewide, property offences make up almost half of all recorded crime.
Nationally, the share of households experiencing a break-in rose from 1.8% to 2.1% in 2023–24, reversing a long-term decline. For SE QLD families, the risk is real—and strong screens are one of the best first lines of defence.
What makes Crimsafe different?
1) Thicker, high-tensile stainless steel mesh
Crimsafe’s proprietary Tensile-Tuff® 0.9 mm stainless steel mesh is up to 26.5% thicker than competitor wires, helping the mesh absorb and dissipate energy under attack.
2) Patented Screw-Clamp™ fastening
Instead of glue or wedges, Crimsafe uses tamper-resistant stainless screws and a mechanical clamp that grips the mesh deep into the frame—creating a vice-like hold attackers can’t easily dislodge.
3) Exceeds Australian Standards
Crimsafe doesn’t just meet AS 5039/5040 tests for impact, jemmy, pulling and knife shear—it exceeds them by wide margins.
Independent Testing: Toughest on the Market
University of Queensland Impact Tests
-
-
Crimsafe Regular: withstands up to 550 J (5× the Australian Standard of 100 J)
-
Crimsafe Ultimate: withstands 750 J (7× the Standard)
-
Crimsafe Heavy-Duty: withstands 1200 J (12× the Standard)
-
UNSW @ ADFA Comparative Study
-
6 competitor screens failed to pass even the minimum 100 J impact test
-
Only 2 met the minimum standard
-
Crimsafe outperformed them all—proving itself the toughest screen on the market
Knife-Shear & Jemmy Resistance
Thanks to its Screw-Clamp™ fastening and Tensile-Tuff® mesh, Crimsafe resisted repeated knife slashes and crowbar-style attacks that easily compromise lesser screens.
Cyclone & Extreme Weather Tested
In Queensland, security isn’t just about intruders—it’s about storms too. Crimsafe has been cyclone-tested at James Cook University’s Cyclone Testing Station, proving its strength under extreme conditions.
-
Cyclone Missile Test: A 4 kg timber block fired at 34 km/h (to simulate wind-borne debris) failed to penetrate Crimsafe screens—while ordinary screens broke on first impact.
-
Cyclone Debris Test: Crimsafe exceeded the 44 m/s (160 km/h debris impact) standard for cyclone regions, resisting repeated impacts without failure.
-
Wind Pressure: Screens are rated to withstand pressures of up to 250 Pascals, equivalent to Category 4 cyclone gusts.
✅ One solution gives you both burglary defence and storm resilience—a huge benefit for QLD homeowners.
