A security screen door is one that typically has a more heavy-duty lock than the small latch you get with standard screen doors. However, just because something is advertised as a security screen door, doesn't necessarily mean it offers the most security possible. To be sure that your new screen door is safe, hire a Commercial Construction professional in Boston MA.

When choosing a security screen door, look for non-removable hinges that are contained inside the actual side of the door rather than being attached to the outside of the door. A security screen door will not be secure if someone can slide a pair of bolt cutters through the mesh and cut it open in order to reach the lock. Choose a door with a very tight mesh that won't allow room for the blade of any cutting tool, a screwdriver that might pry open the door handle. If someone were to cut through the screen on your security door and reach inside, they might very well be able to unlock or unlatch the door. This is why it's good to get a door that is locked with a key from the inside as well as the outside.
