Who has Crimsafe?

[MummaSue]

Hey guys,

We're thinking of getting Crimsafe fitted round the house - doors, patio doors etc,. There has been a spate of burglaries in the suburb next to ours

I hear they are the best but know that they are a bit expensive - does anyone else have crimsafe on their doors? Would you recommend it? Or something else?

We don't have the chrimsafe brand, another brand, does the same thing though. To give you a rough idea on price, for our sliding door going out to the patio, normal security screen is around $300, just under $1000 for the good stuff. We have them on all our windows and doors.

my friend got crimsafe for her front door. She has a double door and it cost i think $1k+ for the front door.

But i must say, it looked really really good! when we were inside the house it felt like she didnt even have a security door and she left her door right opened but looking on the outside you cant really see in.

We have non-crimsafe brand on our patio double sliding doors and a big window. It is great as we can leave the house open at night and not worry. It complies with the same Australian standard that crimsafe is made to, so we are confident in its quality. Looks great, and is almost a year old now and still looks like it did on day 1. We would love to get the rest of the house done too - great as we are often forgetting to close windows!

PS - double sliding doors were just under a grand and one quite large window was $300. It was pretty much 2-3 times the price of getting normal flyscreens put in.

We have them (not crimsafe, another brand) on all our doors and windows. They look great and I feel comfortable leaving windows open at night in summer. We got 8 windows, 2 normal doors and a big sliding door for about 5k (that was 3 years ago).

I got another brand put in last year & love it - espically after having to clean the diamond security mesh before we sold the old house which was a pain. We didn't get it on the doors (Doors were about $1k each) but got all the windows done for just over $2k.

I am in the process of getting quotes for this at the moment.
Their window screens appeal to me the most though, being able to just push them open in case of fire etc.

What is this other brand you can get?

great thread guys...have been thinking about replacing the security doors with this after seeing BIL's up in Newcastle....loved that the front door was wide open and letting all the light in and still private.

We'll be getting crimsafe doors when we can afford it! No idea how much they are but I know they are pricey.
