Knowledge HubCrimsafe® Security
Start with the outcome: insects only, a barrier grille door, daytime privacy on a barrier door, or a security screen. Insect mesh, flywire and an untested custom opening are not sold here as security.
Where to start
Insects only
Need insects kept out only? Start with insect or pet mesh — that is not a security screen.
A stronger physical barrier
Want a stronger physical barrier without a Crimsafe system? Ask about barrier grille doors — labelled barrier door only.
Daytime privacy on a barrier door
Want daytime privacy on a barrier door? PrivacyGuard is a privacy barrier door, not a Crimsafe product. Daytime privacy is the product intent. There is no night privacy guarantee.
A security screen door or window screen
Need a security screen door or window screen? Crimsafe First, Classic or Ultimate — we confirm the exact mesh, frame, locks and fixings for your opening. Stan Bond SA is a Crimsafe Authorised Licensee.

| Dimension | Insect / fly / pet mesh | Barrier grille (A127 / A117) | PrivacyGuard | Crimsafe security screen / door |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary use | Keep insects out. No security claim. | Barrier door only. | Privacy barrier, door only. | Security door or window screen when the full approved configuration is used. |
| What it is not | Not a security screen. Not AS 5039 from the insect path. | Not Crimsafe. This guide does not describe it as an AS 5039 security screen. | Not a Crimsafe product, even though it uses a Crimsafe First frame. | Not interchangeable with a grille, PrivacyGuard or flywire. |
| Mesh / infill | Flywire or thicker pet mesh. Confirm current fabrics separately. | 7 mm tempered aluminium; aluminium rivets (A127 Standard Grille; A117 Small Diamond). | 1.2 mm perforated aluminium; holes 4.0 × 1.0 mm. | First: 0.8 mm 304 stainless with a visible screw clamp. Classic / Ultimate: 0.9 mm 304 stainless. Classic uses a covered NextGen carbon-fibre clamp. Ultimate uses a covered screw clamp. |
| Frame | Simple insect-screen frame. Not a Crimsafe tier. | Barrier-door aluminium framing. | Uses Crimsafe First frame construction only as stated. The product itself is not Crimsafe. | First frame for doors and window screens. Classic and Ultimate are door tiers. Colonial is a First-frame variation for a cast panel over Crimsafe mesh. |
| What we can say | Insect screening. Thicker pet mesh is an option for pet claws when that fabric is the current offer. | Barrier door or barrier grille. No forced-entry rating is stated here. | Privacy barrier door. Daytime privacy only. No night privacy guarantee. | Security screen door or window screen when configured and installed to the approved system. We confirm the exact First, Classic or Ultimate configuration, including mesh, frame, locks and fixings. |
