At Sasco Screens, we believe that true security brings peace of mind. It’s not just about installing a door; it’s about making a single, lasting investment in your family's safety and comfort. That's why every security door and window screen we create is engineered for today and built for generations, ensuring your home and family are protected for years to come.

Your home in Hoppers Crossing is your sanctuary. To help you make the best choice, this guide walks you through our complete range of door solutions—from maximum security to classic fly screens—so you can find the perfect fit that honours our 'lifetime of peace' promise.

Understanding Your Door Options: From Security to Serenity 

Choosing the right door means matching its function to your needs. We offer a comprehensive range, categorised by security level and style, to ensure you find the perfect solution.

1. Maximum Security: The Clear View Range

For those who want top-tier security without sacrificing style, our Clear View doors offer a robust security with a modern aesthetic. The key is choosing the right mesh for the right location.

X-Guard Privacy Mesh (One-Way Vision): The ultimate choice for your front entrance, offering:

• Ultimate Privacy: One-way vision mesh lets you see out while restricting the view from the outside during the day.
• Exceptional Security: Heavy-duty aluminium construction resists attack.
• Perfect for Entrances: Ideal for front doors where privacy and security are paramount.

Stainless Steel Mesh (Two-Way Vision): The pinnacle of strength. Made from 316 marine-grade stainless steel, this mesh is incredibly resistant to attack and corrosion. Its clear, two-way view makes it ideal for sliding and back doors, where you want an uninterrupted view of your garden or outdoor entertaining area.

Perforated Aluminium (Two-Way Vision): A highly durable and corrosion-resistant aluminium sheet with perforations that allow for excellent airflow and visibility. Like stainless steel, its two-way view makes it a fantastic choice for back and sliding doors.

2. Classic Styles for Security & Safety

This range combines classic and heritage designs with formidable strength, offering solutions from security doors to robust safety doors.

• Welded Steel Doors: For homeowners seeking a significant upgrade in strength, our Welded Steel Doors are the answer. These doors feature a fully welded steel panel, providing superior impact resistance and a formidable barrier against forced entry. The panel is fully welded at every contact point for superior strength and welded to 50mm steel frame, offering a powerful security solution with classic, robust designs.
• Steel & Aluminium Combination Screen Doors: This range offers the best of both worlds: classic design and formidable strength. They feature decorative steel grilles housed within a durable, lightweight aluminium frame. This hybrid construction provides a strong physical barrier and is a significant step up in strength from purely decorative aluminium doors.
• Diamond & Decorative Grille Barrier Doors: A timeless and cost-effective solution, the Diamond & Decorative Grille door is a classic barrier against insects and a strong visual deterrent. The 7mm solid aluminium grille provides a physical barrier, making it a reliable choice for general home use. It's important to know this style is classified as a 'barrier' or 'safety' door. It provides a strong deterrent but is not tested to the same Australian Standards as our dedicated security door ranges.
• Federation Style Safety Doors: If your home has a classic or period style, these doors add character and charm. Made from decorative, rust-proof cast aluminium, they act as a strong safety door. While beautiful, we recommend a triple-lock upgrade for enhanced security.

3. Fly Screen Doors: Your Barrier Against Pests

Sometimes, the goal isn't security but simply enjoying the fresh air without inviting in unwanted guests.

• Sliding Fly Screen Doors: Engineered for a perfect fit, our fly screen doors provide an effective barrier against insects while maximising ventilation. They are not security doors, but an essential part of enjoying the Australian climate. We offer various mesh options, including standard fibreglass, durable aluminium, and tough pet-resistant mesh.
