How Much Do Crimsafe Security Screens Cost?
Many customers ask us about the cost of our Crimsafe security screen system. We understand that our customers want to know the exact costs before committing to anything. Crimsafe screens cost more than ordinary screens, but they are designed to be stronger and safer. They also enhance the comfort and appeal of your home.
The cost of Crimsafe security screens depends on the size and specifications required. Unlike other security screens, each Crimsafe screen is customized to fit each door or window. This ensures that the screens are of the highest quality and provide the most secure protection.
It is important that the screens fit properly to cover the entire opening of your window or door. Otherwise, there could be vulnerabilities in the security they provide. So, if you’re looking for a security system that’s tailored to your needs and offers maximum protection, Crimsafe is the way to go.
To determine the final cost of your project, we ask the following important questions during your free consultation:
- What are the dimensions of the door, window, or outside area?
- Do you need door tracks?
- Do we need a frame build-out to make the screen fit correctly?
- Are there existing bars or grilles that need to be removed?
- Do you need a door threshold extender or repair?
- Do you want a custom color?
- Is scaffolding or ladders necessary to install high window screens?
All of these answers contribute to the final cost of your installation. We are happy to give you a breakdown of costs. Here are some preliminary cost parameters:
- Crimsafe windows start at a cost of approximately $450.00
- Crimsafe doors start at a cost of approximately $2000.00
- Crimsafe patio doors and french doors start at approximately $3800
- Crimsafe patio enclosures start at approximately $7500
What factors affect pricing? Read the rest of our guide to find out.
Part 1: The Size Of Your Windows
The size of your window or door significantly affects the cost of each Crimsafe screen. Every Crimsafe window and door frame varies slightly in size and shape, and they are rarely square. The larger the window or door, the more materials are required to construct the screen, which contributes to the final cost.
All of our Crimsafe screens are specially customized, so there are no standard or pre-manufactured Crimsafe doors or windows available. Factors that affect pricing include the requirement for special handling due to size and the need for additional labor to handle the screen’s size.
To provide you with a quote, we require the measurement of each door or window opening. This allows us to assess which Crimsafe products are most appropriate for your needs.
Part 2: Other Crimsafe Pricing Factors
If you are planning to install Crimsafe screens in your home, it is important to note that you may require a build-out. But what is a build-out? A build-out is a process that enhances your current frame and may be necessary for the proper fit of your Crimsafe installation. This is only required if the frame around your door or window is old, rotting, or not structurally sound and you choose not to have it repaired. Crimsafe products are attached to this framework, and a weak framework can compromise the integrity of the screen’s security. Our installers will construct a build-out and attach it to the building frame if needed.
In addition, we may also need to add a threshold or sill extender to your existing door to ensure a perfect fit. Finally, we may need to consult with you if your window and door trim or frame needs repair due to old age or water damage. Please note that these essential repairs can increase the final cost of your installation.
Part 3: Crimsafe Features And Additions
There are different options to consider when selecting your Crimsafe screens. These modifications or additions can increase the pricing. Some of them are:
- Hinged or fixed screens
- Safe-S-cape option
- Regular or Ultimate frames
- Exterior security keys
Part 4: What Crimsafe Products Are Available?

Part 5: Are Crimsafe Screens Worth The Cost?
It’s reasonable to question why Crimsafe security screens are more expensive than regular screens or pre-made security screen doors found at large home improvement stores. However, it’s important to note that Crimsafe screens are custom made to fit your windows and doors, which naturally increases the cost.
After careful consideration of various security screen manufacturers and door companies, we have chosen to carry Crimsafe. Being in business for over 40 years, we strive to maintain our reputation with our customers. While Crimsafe products are not the cheapest option available, we believe it is the best choice for our customers due to its superior build quality, patented framing system, and stronger screen mesh than competitors.
We also value the long history of the Crimsafe product, which originated in Australia in 1996. Currently, the screens for North America are made in Southern California, allowing us to collaborate closely with the factory and manufacturing of our customer’s screens.
All these factors make us confident that Crimsafe security screens are a great value for our customers and worth the investment. However, if you’re still unsure, please don’t hesitate to contact us today to speak with a security screen specialist.
Part 6: Crimsafe Is Known For Two Special Features
Screw-Clamped’ Mesh – Can’t Be Kicked Out!
The Crimsafe mesh is placed between two serrated pieces of aluminum that clamp the mesh airtight. One of the pieces of aluminum is a strip with a hook while the other is the frame the hook goes into. All three pieces are then screwed together with stainless steel, tamper-resistant screws. All components of the Crimsafe are separated by a rubber bead that helps eliminate electrolysis, which leads to corrosion. In the end, you have a barrier that cannot be kicked in. This process is internationally patented and unique.
Crimsafe®‘s Mesh is 0.9mm /.035″ Thick and Meticulously Woven
Crimsafe uses a special stainless steel mesh that is uniquely made to be stronger than all other solutions. This makes it very difficult to cut through Crimsafe mesh technology. If you force any sharp object or knife into the Crimsafe mesh, holes may occur, but you will never be able to fit through them. That’s because the mesh is an incredible ‘shear’ resistance. This means that an intruder will not be able to make a hole in the mesh by stabbing it. In turn, any attempt to make the hole bigger by using body weight and dragging the knife through it will fail.
Another fact to prove that Crimsafe mesh is rather remarkable is that before it came onto the market, no other company was able to weave a .9mm premium-grade security steel. A wire products manufacturer had to be brought on board and make customized machinery before this could actually be done.
Last but not least, the black coating on the mesh helps the mesh’s lifespan and appearance. It is a highly durable coating that contains special additives that help ensure long life and satisfactory appearance. This is part of Crimsafe’s 10 year warranty.
