Stainless steel mesh security screens
Stainless steel mesh gives you strong security without bars spoiling the view. SecureView SaltWaterSeries uses fine woven 316 marine-grade stainless steel mesh that lets in light and breeze and keeps out insects. From the street it's hard to see in, while you can still see clearly out. The mesh is held in a heavy-duty aluminium frame, and the frame is powder-coated to match your home.
- Doors and windows you can leave open and still feel secure
- A clear view and good airflow
- One screen that also works as a flyscreen
- Made for coastal conditions
The budget-friendly option
Xceed perforated aluminium security screens
Xceed is a more affordable security screen made from a strong perforated aluminium sheet, not woven mesh. It's a stylish alternative to old-style diamond grilles. It gives good see-through visibility and adds shade to cut heat from the sun.
Xceed is made in Australia and powder-coated in a wide range of colours, including Colorbond and woodgrain finishes. It comes with a 5-year standard warranty, or 7 years when you register it.
- A more budget-friendly security option
- Strong, corrosion-resistant perforated aluminium
- Extra shade from the sun
- Xceed doors meet the AS 5039-2023 security standard when fitted with the triple lock upgrade
Hinged and sliding security doors
We supply and install security doors for front entries, back doors, laundries and patio sliders. Every door is made to order to fit your opening, and our SecureView SaltWaterSeries doors come with a triple lock as standard. Xceed doors can be upgraded to a triple lock. Choose single or double hinged doors, or sliding doors to suit glass sliders.
- Hinged doors for front, back and side entries
- Sliding security doors for patios and balconies
- Matched to your frame and colour scheme
- Triple lock standard on SecureView SaltWaterSeries doors, and available as an upgrade on Xceed doors
Security window screens
Security window screens let you leave windows open overnight or while you're out. We supply and install fixed and openable screens for awning, sliding and double-hung windows. We also supply fire escape security screens. They lock securely but open quickly from the inside, so bedrooms always have a safe way out in an emergency.
- Fixed, openable and fire escape options
- Suit awning, sliding, casement and double-hung windows
- Keep insects out as well as intruders
Want something else? We also install fly screens, retractable screens and Zipscreens.
Built and tested to Australian Standards
A real security screen has to pass the Australian security screen standard, AS 5039, which includes knife-shear, jemmy, pull and impact tests. It also has to be installed to AS 5040. A cheap screen that looks the part but isn't built or fitted to these standards won't give you the protection you're paying for.
Our SecureView SaltWaterSeries range is independently tested to AS 5039-2023 and has also passed cyclone testing. Xceed is independently tested to AS 5039-2023 too, and Xceed doors meet the standard when fitted with the triple lock upgrade. Every screen is installed to AS 5040 by our installers, who are qualified under MSF30919 Certificate III in Blinds, Awnings, Security Screens and Grilles.
Read the NSSA industry code of practice.

What our customers say
I’ve used Nicki’s on 2 occasions now and have found them to be outstanding in their professionalism in communication,care and attention to detail.there care care for for their customers is borne out in their after sales service. We inadvertently had a mishap with our blind which needed readjusting. They were back in less than 48 hours and sorted it out.Great service and would recommend Nicky’s to everyone I know
Great service and communication, Suzy is very helpful! Thank you
Couldn't be happier with our new blinds. Suzie and her team made the whole process easy from the initial measure and quote right through to installation. Suzie in particular was fantastic to deal with, friendly, on time, and really took the care to get everything fitted perfectly. The quality of the blinds themselves is excellent and they've completely transformed the verandah area they're in. Great communication throughout, no mess left behind, and the finished result looks fantastic. Highly recommend Nicki's Professional Security Screens & Blinds to anyone in the area five stars all round.
Nicki’s blinds have been amazing from start to finish. I’ve had some shutters and screens fitted and couldn’t be happier with the whole process. Thank you so much
Great local business. Staff were great to work with and very helpful to meet our needs. Thx you Suzy and crew. Best wishes.
Security screen FAQs
What's the difference between a security screen and a flyscreen?
A flyscreen keeps insects out but can be cut or pushed in easily. A security screen uses stainless steel mesh in a strong frame, has a security lock, and is tested to AS 5039 to resist forced entry. It still keeps insects out too.
Should I choose stainless steel mesh or Xceed?
Stainless steel mesh (SecureView SaltWaterSeries) gives the clearest view and the best airflow. It's built for beachfront homes, with a warranty of up to 20 years. Xceed perforated aluminium is the more affordable choice, with good visibility and extra shade. We'll bring samples of both to your free measure, and your itemised quote can include either.
Will a stainless steel mesh screen rust near the beach?
SecureView SaltWaterSeries is designed for extreme coastal environments, including beachfront homes. It uses 316 marine-grade stainless steel, and the mesh has passed 1,000 hours of salt-spray testing. How often you need to clean them depends on how close you live to the ocean: every 3–6 months if you're more than 10 km from salt water, down to weekly for homes within 500 m of the beach. We'll give you the care guide with your screens.
Can I see out through stainless steel mesh?
Yes. The fine mesh gives a clear view out during the day. From outside, it's much harder for anyone to see in.
How long does it take from quote to installation?
We generally install within 3–4 weeks of you approving your quote. We'll confirm the timeframe for your job when you accept the quote.
How much do security screens cost?
Every door and window is a different size, so we quote each job after a free measure. The price depends on the size, the number of screens, the mesh type and the lock options you choose. You'll get a fully itemised quote showing the cost of each door and window. That gives you the freedom to pick and choose what suits your budget, with no surprises.

Security screens put to the test
CommandeX describes independent testing for SaltWaterSeries and Xceed security screens. The additional material, weather and fire results below relate to SaltWaterSeries. Ask us which tests apply to your chosen screen and configuration.
CommandeX lists knife-shear testing separately from probe and shear testing. The separate probe and shear tests are marked not applicable because the mesh openings are smaller than the test requirement.
Impact test
Five pendulum strikes simulate a physical attack on the screen.
Jemmy test
A lever and winch try to force the locked screen open.
Pull test
Checks resistance to pulling. CommandeX reports automatic passes where jemmy testing leaves no bracket gap.
Knife shear test
A fresh heavy-duty blade makes three attempts to cut the mesh.
Frame and coating tests
Assess the aluminium frame and its powder-coated finish.
Stainless mesh tests
Checks the stainless steel mesh against the supplier's listed standards.
Salt-spray test
Checks corrosion resistance under controlled salt exposure.
Bushfire and heat tests
Assess bushfire protection and the screen's reduction of radiant heat.
Cyclone test
Tests resistance to windborne timber impact under specified conditions.
