How much do security doors cost?

Security doors are an investment in the safety of your home. A security door helps keep offenders out of your home so you and your family stay safe. Investing in security doors is valuable for your peace of mind and can even increase the value of your home. However, to budget for security doors, whether you are upgrading your doors or putting them in your new home, it is vital to understand security screen door prices. Various factors affect screen door prices, including sizing, materials, customisations you would like, and the cost of installation.

A range of factors can affect the price of your security doors. These include the type of materials you choose, any customisations you need, sizing, and installation complexities.

At My Security Door, we offer a range of security doors to suit your needs. We offer aluminum, steel, and hybrid doors. Aluminum doors have the benefit of not being prone to rusting, which means they do not need a protective coating to prevent this. Steel doors are a little more expensive and must be coated to avoid rusting. However, they are also stronger and last longer than aluminum doors. Hybrid security doors offer the best aesthetics and security.

If the colour of your security door needs to be customised beyond our wide range of standard colours to give you a look you want for your home, this will affect the price. Pet doors are another customisation you may consider so your furry family members can enter and exit your home. Security can be maintained with a pet door installed into a security screen. However, this requires customisation and reinforcement of the screen area around the pet door to ensure your door is secure and stands up to the extra workload of incorporating a pet door. 

Sizing of the door and installation complexities can also affect the price. While there is such a thing as a standard-sized door, not all doors are standard, and the door needs to be an appropriate size to fit correctly. Non-standard sizes can also add to installation costs, as can having old or damaged door frames that need to be fixed or replaced. 

My Security Doors come in standard sizes, finishes, and colours. If you have a standard-size door frame and are happy with the finish and colour options, then a standard security door is perfect. However, the price of a standard security door, including installation costs and the door and finish you choose, can vary. Prices for professionally fitted security doors are typically between $900 and $1200.

The cost for custom security doors varies. Like a standard security door, prices vary depending on the door type and installation complexity. However, the price of a customised door will also vary depending on the customisation you need. Customisations can include the custom colour you would like, the sizing of the door for non-standard doors, and any extra add-ons, such as pet doors.

We understand that you might want a door that matches your style preference. You might be looking for a door that blends in or stands out. My Security Door can tailor the colour and finish to what you want. While we have a wide range of colours, including timber finishes, in our standard colour range, we can also customise the colour to meet your needs. We also have a range of finishes available. While customising the colour and finish of your door can affect security door prices, given these doors are a long-term investment in your home and your family’s security, it is worth ensuring you get the door you want.

Proper door installation is a vital part of making your home secure. As every door frame is different, the installation cost will depend on what is required to install the door properly. Factors affecting the installation price include whether new door tracks are needed to make your door work well. The security door cost is also affected by whether the door frame needs to be built out. Putting a security door in a weak or unsuitable frame compromises the result. Further, if you have pets that need to be able to get in and out of your security door, pet doors can be accommodated, but do add to the installation costs. 

It can be tempting to save money by installing the security door yourself. However, this often costs you in the long run and can compromise the security of your door. You may need to purchase the correct tools if you install your door yourself. This cost can add up quickly. Further, door frames are rarely completely square, making installing the door yourself with a snug fit difficult. If there are gaps around the door once it is installed, it can be levered open, and therefore, the security of your door, your home, and your family is compromised.

A security door is only as good as its installation. Professional installation of your security doors adds to the cost but also increases the security of your home. Having a professional install your door means it complies with Australian standards for optimum protection. Further, a poorly installed door can increase wear and tear on your door and the frame, causing damage in the long run. Getting this repaired can cost you more than having the door installed professionally.

My Security Door helps you make your house more secure. The cost involved will depend on the door you choose, whether it is a standard or customised door, and whether there are any installation complexities.
