FAQs

How much does it cost to fit a security door?

The price of getting a security door fitted can vary depending on the style, size, and materials you choose, as well as any extra features like triple locks or custom powder coating. Rest assured, at Argus Security, our pricing is competitive and tailored to suit a wide range of budgets and security needs. We offer a free home consultation where we assess your property and recommend the best options for you – following this, we provide an obligation-free quote with a full breakdown of the costs involved.

What is the best type of security door?

This ultimately depends on your specific security needs, property layout, and personal style preferences. At Argus Security, we recommend our top of the range Invisigard stainless steel mesh doors for a high level of protection without compromising airflow or visibility; these doors are corrosion-resistant and strong enough to withstand attempted forced entry. For homeowners wanting an added layer of privacy and weather protection, perforated aluminium mesh is another excellent choice.

All our doors come with high-quality locks and hinges, and many are compatible with triple locking systems for enhanced security. Every property is different, which is why we offer a range of styles and finishes – from sleek modern designs to decorative heritage options(our expert team can help you choose the best type of security door to suit your home and budget during a free consultation). All doors are custom-fitted and built to meet Australian Standards for security.

What are the benefits of an automatic gate?

Automatic gates are a great investment for homeowners wanting to enhance both security and convenience at the same time. At Argus Security, we install high-quality automatic gates that offer remote or keypad entry, giving you greater control over who enters your property – this means you don’t need to leave your car to open or close the gate, which is especially useful during bad weather or at night.

Automatic gates also add an extra layer of protection by keeping pets and children safely inside the yard while deterring unauthorised access. A well-designed gate boosts curb appeal and can even increase the value of your home. We offer a wide range of styles and finishes to suit different property types and budgets, including timber-look options using durable woodgrain powder coating. Our team will work with you to design a gate that suits your needs and install it to the highest professional standard.

How long does it take to install a set of roller shutters?

Again, this can vary depending on the number of windows, the complexity of the setup, and whether the shutters are manually or electronically operated. Generally, the installation of a standard set of roller shutters can be completed in a single day. At Argus Security, we pride ourselves on efficient and professional service, ensuring minimal disruption to your home – our team will arrive on time, prepare the installation area, and securely fit the shutters to your windows.

If custom sizing or additional features like remote control operation are required, we’ll discuss any changes to the timeframe during your free consultation. We only use high-quality, Australian-made shutters designed for long-term durability and protection. Whether you’re looking to reduce noise, block out heat, or enhance security, we’ll ensure your roller shutters are installed quickly, safely, and to the highest possible standard.

What is the alternative to roller shutters?

We’ve also got several other options that provide security, light control, and privacy – plantation shutters are a stylish and functional alternative, offering a sleek internal solution that allows you to adjust airflow and sunlight while maintaining your privacy. For outdoor protection, we also install security screens and window grilles, which offer ventilation without compromising safety. If insulation or sun protection is a priority, our external awnings and privacy screens are excellent choices.

Each product serves a different purpose, so the best alternative depends on your specific goals – whether it’s improved security, thermal comfort, or enhancing street appeal. During a free home consultation, our team will assess your needs and recommend the best solution tailored to your property. All our products are built to last and designed to complement your home’s aesthetics while delivering functional benefits.

Are your security roller shutters available in custom sizes?

Yes – we understand that every home is unique, and that’s why we provide tailored shutter solutions to suit all window shapes and dimensions. Whether you have wide bay windows, small bathroom windows, or unusually shaped openings, our team can manufacture shutters to fit perfectly. During your free consultation, we’ll take precise measurements and discuss your specific needs, including colour preferences, manual or automatic operation, and any additional features such as remote control access.

Our roller shutters are made from high-quality materials that provide insulation, noise reduction, and strong protection against break-ins (customisation also allows for better integration with your home’s design and architecture, giving you a seamless and functional result).
