How well does a security screen hold up to the full force of kicks, punches or charges from an intruder? Dynamic impact testing can tell us by measuring the force of those impacts in joules (J).

What’s the Australian Standard?

The minimum requirement of Australian Standards is five x impacts of 100J. This is based on the assumption that the average Australian male, weighing 86kg or more, can easily exert more than 100 joules of force in a single impact.

Crimsafe iQ is the only screen door to have passed the toughest, most rigorous burglar-resistance test in the world – the RC2 Test. During the RC2 test, security screens are subject to a barrage of tests including the application of stress on the locking points, hinges and bearing points. RC2 also tests for weak points with large screwdriver attacks. Pitted against a 180 second time, the test simulates a burglar attack, trying to break it using a combination of brute force and weapons.

Crimsafe’s exclusive Screw-Clamp™ bites down on the mesh, holding it into the frame, which is then secured by tamper-resistant stainless-steel screws. This vice-like grip is what gives Crimsafe its incredible strength and its ability to withstand tremendous force by absorbing and dispersing impact.

Unlike other products that use a plastic wedge or glue to hold the mesh in place, Crimsafe’s Screw-Clamp™ transfers the force of an impact around the frame, so the mesh remains intact, allowing the unit to withstand enormous impact. Crimsafe is the only security screen to feature mesh screwed into place like this, giving it unrivalled resistance to attack.
