Security Door Services FAQ
ClearView Mobile Screens provides security door installation services for homeowners who want added protection, airflow, durability, and curb appeal. Below are answers to common questions about security door styles, materials, custom sizing, hardware, installation, and maintenance.
What types of security doors do you install?
We install steel security doors, reinforced aluminum options, decorative wrought-iron styles, sliding security doors, hinged security doors, and pet-friendly versions. Each option is designed to improve protection, airflow, durability, and appearance while matching the needs of the entryway.
How long does a typical security door installation take?
Most security door installations take about one to three hours, depending on the door style, customization, frame condition, hardware requirements, and whether the opening needs additional adjustments before the new door can be mounted securely.
Do I need to be home during the installation?
Yes. A homeowner or authorized adult should be present during the installation for access, final measurement confirmation, door placement approval, and a post-install walkthrough to make sure the security door opens, closes, locks, and functions correctly.
How do you make sure the security door fits properly?
ClearView Mobile Screens takes precise on-site measurements and reviews the condition of the existing frame before installation. This includes checking width, height, frame depth, hinge clearance, swing direction, latch placement, jamb condition, and surrounding wall materials such as stucco, concrete, wood, or brick.
What materials and hardware are used for security doors?
Security doors may include heavy-gauge steel or reinforced aluminum frames, powder-coated finishes, tamper-resistant fasteners, durable mesh options, reinforced mounting points, and secure locking hardware such as deadbolt or multi-point locking systems depending on the selected door style.
Can you install a security door on a nonstandard opening?
Yes. Custom-fit security doors can be fabricated or sourced for oversized frames, uniquely shaped openings, older entryways, stucco surrounds, brick surfaces, concrete walls, and other nonstandard conditions. On-site measurement helps determine the best installation approach.
How much does security door installation cost?
The cost of security door installation depends on the door style, size, material, finish, lock hardware, mesh type, decorative design, and installation complexity. ClearView Mobile Screens can provide an on-site estimate with clear pricing based on your specific opening and preferred door options.
Do security door installations come with a warranty?
Security door installations may include workmanship coverage along with manufacturer warranties on eligible materials and hardware. Coverage can vary by product, finish, lock system, and installation conditions, so the team can review warranty details before installation begins.
What are the benefits of installing a security door?
A security door can add protection, improve ventilation, enhance curb appeal, and provide a stronger barrier at front, side, back, or patio entries. Many homeowners choose security doors because they allow airflow while helping keep the entryway more secure and durable for daily use.
Do security doors require maintenance?
Security doors require minimal maintenance, but periodic care helps extend their life. Basic maintenance may include lubricating hinges or rollers, checking screws and mounting points, cleaning the frame and mesh, inspecting the finish, and making sure the latch or lock continues to operate smoothly.
Can a security door be installed over my existing door?
Often, yes. A security door can usually be installed outside an existing standard door, but the current frame, clearance, trim, hinges, and surrounding structure must be evaluated first. In some cases, minor modifications or removal of old screen components may be needed for a proper fit.
What if my doorway has stucco, brick, or concrete walls?
ClearView Mobile Screens can work with a variety of wall and frame materials. Depending on the surface, special anchors, masonry screws, reinforcement plates, or other secure mounting methods may be used to make sure the security door frame is properly attached and performs as intended.
