Security screen doors range from a cheap insect grille to a certified stainless-steel-mesh door that resists break-ins. Decide whether you want insect screening, real security, or both, that determines the type and price.
Ways to save
- If you only need insect protection, a grille door is far cheaper than a security-rated mesh door.
- For real security, choose a door that meets the Australian standard, cheaper ones look similar but are not rated.
- Fit a quality lock, a strong door with a weak lock is only as good as the lock.
How we estimate this
A security screen door in Australia typically costs around $350 to $600 for a diamond-grille door supplied and installed in 2026, and $800 to $1,500 for a certified stainless-steel-mesh (Crimsafe-type) door. Sliding and double doors cost more.

What a security screen door costs in Perth
A security screen door is an entry door made to the security-screen standard so it holds against forced entry while still letting air and light through, which suits Perth's hot, dry Mediterranean climate and its reliance on the afternoon sea breeze. The figure is set per door by the opening size, the infill (stainless mesh, perforated sheet or aluminium grille), the frame and the lock, so a full-view mesh door sits above a plain grille. A standard door is made locally; the city's isolation adds freight and lead time on a non-standard size or a specialty finish.
Perth's double-brick homes hold the day's heat, so being able to lock up and still draw the cooler evening breeze through a mesh door matters here. Coastal suburbs favour marine-grade stainless mesh over aluminium, which corrodes faster near the water, while inland an aluminium grille is a cheaper path to the same standard. Sandy soils and a stable climate mean the frame around the door rarely shifts, keeping the fit clean.
A security-screen installer fits the door to the security-screen standard, not a licensed building trade, so no building licence applies, in Western Australia under WA Building Services for any structural side; a fly screen is a separate, insect-only product with no security rating. Nothing structural changes, so a character home keeps its approved facade. Price a Perth job by the door size, the infill and the lock, with freight on a custom size.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence for a security screen door in Perth?
No. It is fitted by a security-screen installer to the security-screen standard, not a licensed building trade, in Western Australia under WA Building Services for any building side. No building licence is required for the door.
Does Perth's isolation affect the price?
On a standard door, little; those are made locally. A non-standard size or a specialty finish freighted in carries extra cost and a longer lead time, which is the main thing that moves a Perth quote beyond the door itself.
Stainless or aluminium for a Perth security door?
Coastal suburbs favour marine-grade stainless mesh, which resists the salt air that corrodes aluminium faster near the water. Inland, an aluminium grille door is cheaper and still meets the security-screen standard.
Is a security door the same as a fly screen in Perth?
No. A security screen door is tested to the security-screen standard to resist a break-in; a fly screen only keeps insects out and has no security rating. They are priced very differently.
