Crimsafe Security Screens & Doors
Harlaxton's Specialist
Change the Way You Live with Alcom
Why Harlaxton Homeowners choose Crimsafe
Harlaxton’s mix of heritage stone and timber homes below the escarpment, alongside the modest brick-and-timber housing that makes up much of the suburb, means a real range of older window and door styles across the area. Standard flyscreens keep insects out but offer little resistance to forced entry — and on older Harlaxton homes, they’re often the weakest point left unaddressed after everything else has been updated.
Crimsafe security screens offer a practical solution by combining security, airflow and visibility in one system, custom-fitted to the exact openings on established homes rather than forcing a generic size onto an older frame.
Toowoomba’s elevation brings genuinely different weather to the rest of South East Queensland — cooler nights, but also some of the region’s more severe hail and storm activity. Crimsafe’s tested strength offers real protection against wind-borne debris during those events, on top of everyday security, without losing the airflow that makes the Range’s cooler climate worth having doors and windows open for.
Whether you’re restoring a heritage home near Harlaxton House, renovating an established brick home, or replacing ageing screens, Alcom’s local team can tailor a Crimsafe solution to your home, lifestyle and budget.
Is Crimsafe Worth it for Harlaxton Homes?
With close to 40% of Harlaxton properties in rental accommodation and the suburb sitting minutes from North Toowoomba’s shops and Toowoomba Base Hospital, Crimsafe pays for itself twice over for landlords in the area — tenant security ticked off, and one less thing an insurer can quibble over.
For owner-occupiers, think of it as the home upgrade you actually only have to make once: no repainting every few years, no “we’ll get to it eventually” — just a 15-year warranty and a screen that quietly does its job whether you’re settled in for the long haul near Harlaxton State School or just getting started on the suburb’s lower terraces.
Whether you’re securing an investment property in Harlaxton or a family home closer to the Toowoomba CBD, Alcom’s local team can tailor a Crimsafe solution to your home, lifestyle and budget.
