What makes your security screen doors better than a wrought iron door?Natalia Elizarova2025-10-01T17:08:29+00:00

Our security screen doors have several advantages over wrought iron doors:

  • Made from marine-grade stainless steel wire mesh and aircraft-grade aluminum, which are highly resistant to rust and corrosion, unlike wrought iron doors that you have paint every couple years.
  • The aircraft-grade aluminum used is six times stronger than steel and half the weight.
  • Custom built to your door opening, which means there are NO GAPS at the top or the bottom of the door.
  • Wrought iron doors always have gaps at the top and bottom to let in bugs, lizards or other creatures.
