Security Screen Doors
Custom-built 316 marine-grade stainless steel doors, measured to your opening and installed by our own crews. Open the house up without opening it to anyone else.
A security screen door is a hinged or sliding door built from stainless steel mesh in a welded frame, fitted to your existing opening so you can leave the entry door open and still be locked up. Paramount measures every opening on site, builds to that measurement in 316 marine-grade TAPCO mesh, and installs with our own certified employees rather than subcontractors. In Phoenix that does two jobs at once. It closes the entry a burglar is most likely to test, and it lets you run the house on outside air through the months when the Valley is actually pleasant. Every door carries a Lifetime Warranty and our No Break-In Guarantee, which pays up to $4,000 toward your deductible if a screen we installed is ever breached.
The front door is where most homeowners start, and they are right to. It is the most tested opening on a house, it is the one a stranger can walk up to without explaining themselves, and a standard insect screen behind it offers nothing. What stops an attempt is a frame that will not spread and a mesh that will not cut.
Every door we build for
We do not stock and hang a catalog part. Every door is measured and built to the opening, which matters more on doors than anywhere else, because a gap at the strike or a frame that racks is exactly where a pry bar goes.
Door types we cover
Single entry doors. The standard front or side entry, hinged, with a keyed deadbolt and a closer.
Double and French doors. Two leaves, which means two frames and a center meeting stile that has to be built properly or it becomes the weak point.
Sliding patio doors. A sliding screen that runs in its own track alongside the glass slider. Covered in depth in our guide to security screens for sliding glass doors.
Arcadia and oversized openings. Wide single-panel sliders common on Valley homes built through the 1970s and 1980s.
Security gates and courtyard entries. The gated front entry found across much of the West Valley, where the gate is the real first line rather than the door behind it.
What a security door does besides stop intruders
You get to open the house
This is the benefit people underestimate until they have one. From roughly October through April the Valley has weather most of the country would pay for, and most homes stay shut anyway because an open front door feels like an invitation. A security door removes that objection. You get airflow through the house without leaving anything unlocked.
It reads as a deterrent from the street
Most attempts are opportunistic. A visible steel door at the entry moves a house down the list before anyone tests it, which is a different and cheaper kind of protection than surviving the attempt. We compare that directly against the alternatives in security screen doors versus burglar bars.
It survives the sun
Arizona is hard on hardware. Powder-coated steel and marine-grade mesh are specified for that reason, and closers and latches are the parts that see the most cycles. We cover realistic lifespans, and what actually fails first, in how long security screens last in Arizona.
Doors first, or windows first?
If you are protecting a whole house, doors and windows are one job and quoting them together is cheaper than doing them in two visits. If you are staging it, the order that makes sense is almost always doors first, then the windows that are least visible from the street.
If you only do a few openings, do these
The front entry, because it is the one that gets tested and the one that changes how you live in the house. Then the back slider, which is out of sight of the street and is the most common forced entry point on Valley homes with a block wall. Then any side gate or courtyard entry that gives someone cover to work unseen. Front-facing windows a neighbor can see are rarely the problem.
Once the doors are handled, the windows are the other half of the same job. That side is covered on our window security screens page, and the pricing for both is broken down in the Phoenix security screen cost guide.
Common questions
Can I still see out through the door?
Yes. From inside you keep the view and the daylight. From outside the mesh reads dark, so you gain privacy at the entry rather than losing it. We show it from both sides in can you see through security screens.
Is a security screen door the same as a storm door?
No. A storm door is a light aluminum frame with glass or insect mesh, built for weather rather than force, and it opens with hand tools. A security door is welded steel with a structural mesh and a deadbolt. They look similar from the curb and behave nothing alike.
Will my HOA approve one?
Usually, and that is a large part of why Valley homeowners choose screens over bars. Most HOAs care about color and street appearance, both of which we can match. See HOA approved security screens in Arizona for how the submissions typically go.
How long does a door install take?
A single entry door is usually a same-day install once it is built, and the build follows the measure. Measuring happens on the free estimate visit, and installation is done by our own employees, never subcontractors.
Can you repair a door I already have?
Often, yes, and it is worth asking before replacing. Closers, latches, hinges and damaged mesh are all serviceable. What we will tell you honestly is when a frame has racked far enough that a repair is not worth the money. See security screen repair in Phoenix.
