Security Screens for Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding glass doors are commonly used between living areas, patios, balconies and alfresco spaces because they provide wide openings, natural light and easy access. A sliding security screen can add an additional screened barrier while still allowing ventilation through the opening.

Unlike a standard sliding flyscreen, a security screen system uses stronger framing, screen materials and locking hardware. The right system depends on the existing sliding door frame, available tracks, opening size and the type of security mesh selected.

01

Security & Airflow

Smooth Sliding

The security screen is configured to work with suitable tracks and the existing sliding door arrangement.

03

Custom Sized

Sliding security doors are measured to suit the actual opening and available track space.

04

Multiple Screen Options

Choose different security screen materials according to privacy, visibility, appearance and budget.

Common Sliding Door Applications

Where Sliding Security Doors Are Commonly Used

Sliding security screens can suit many residential openings where the main glass door slides horizontally along a track.

Rear Access

Sliding Glass Doors

One of the most common applications for a sliding security screen, especially between living rooms and rear yards.

Outdoor Living

Patio Doors

Security screens can help keep patio access ventilated without leaving the opening completely exposed.

Alfresco

Alfresco Access

Suitable for selected indoor-outdoor living areas where sliding glass doors connect to a covered alfresco space.

Apartment

Balcony Doors

Selected apartment and unit balcony openings may be suitable for sliding security screen systems.

Townhouse

Courtyard Access

Sliding security screens can suit townhouse and unit doors opening onto courtyards and private outdoor areas.

Larger Opening

Wider Sliding Doors

Larger openings require careful assessment of tracks, panel size and suitable security screen configuration.

Existing Door & Track

The Existing Sliding Door Configuration Matters

A sliding security screen needs more than the correct width and height. The existing frame, available track, door overlap, handle position and running clearance all influence the final system.

This is why photos of the complete sliding door opening are useful when preparing an initial quote. For suitable installations, final measurements and track details can then be confirmed before production.

Existing Track The frame needs a suitable location for the security screen panel to run.
Opening Size Width and height affect the security screen panel and selected system.
Handle Clearance Door handles and hardware need sufficient clearance between sliding panels.
Closing Position The security screen needs to close neatly against the appropriate jamb or meeting point.

Sliding Security Door FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a security screen be fitted to an existing sliding glass door?
In many cases, yes. Suitability depends on the existing aluminium frame, available tracks, opening configuration and installation space. Photos of the full sliding door opening are useful for an initial assessment.
What is the difference between a sliding flyscreen and a sliding security door?
A standard sliding flyscreen is primarily intended for insect protection and ventilation. A sliding security screen uses stronger framing, screen materials and locking hardware intended to provide additional protection.
What mesh options are available for sliding security doors?
Can sliding security doors be used for patio and alfresco doors?
Yes, selected patio and alfresco sliding glass door systems can accommodate sliding security screens, subject to the existing frame and track configuration.
Can you make sliding security doors for larger openings?
Larger sliding openings can be assessed individually. Panel dimensions, tracks, frame configuration and the selected security screen system all need to be considered before final production.
Do sliding security doors come in different colours?
Yes. Frame colour options are available depending on the selected system, allowing the new security screen to coordinate with many existing aluminium sliding doors and window frames.
What photos should I send for a quote?
Send a photo showing the complete sliding glass door from inside and outside where possible, plus closer photos of the bottom track, top track and side jamb. Include approximate width and height and your suburb.
