Straight Answer:
Is Securelux Worth It?
Am I Paying for the Crimsafe Name, or Is Securelux Actually Worth It?
This is one of the most common questions people ask when they are comparing security screen quotes in Brisbane and South East Queensland. It is a fair question, and it deserves a straight answer.
The Short Answer
What the Crimsafe Name Gets You
Crimsafe is a specific product with patented technology. The Tensile-Tuff 304 structural-grade stainless steel mesh is 0.9 mm thick – 26.5% thicker in cross-section than the 0.8 mm 316 mesh most competitors use. The patented Screw-Clamp system mechanically fastens the mesh into the frame using tamper-resistant screws every 125 mm, rather than relying on glue or wedge systems that can be kicked or pried loose. Crimsafe has been independently tested at the University of Queensland and withstands singular impacts of up to 550 joules for Regular and 750 joules for Ultimate – more than five times the Australian standard.
So yes, the product itself carries a premium for engineering reasons. It is not branding alone.
What Securelux Adds on Top of That
Any authorised Crimsafe licensee can sell you Crimsafe. The difference is in how the product is quoted, manufactured, installed, and supported. Here is what you get with Securelux specifically:
Consultation that educates, not pressures.
Securelux consultants visit your home, show you samples, explain which product tier suits your situation, and provide a fully itemised quote. If Crimsafe is not the right fit for every opening, they will say so – Securelux also carries budget barrier screens, flyscreens, and shutters.
In-house manufacturing with quality control.
Crimsafe is built in the Securelux factory at Redland Bay with multi-stage QC checks, precise mesh cuts, and Tef-Gel applied to every clamp screw as standard.
In-house employed installers.
Every installer is a direct Securelux employee – trained, accountable, and consistent. No subcontractors, no unknown faces.
Over 40 years of industry experience.
Securelux has been serving Brisbane and the Gold Coast for more than four decades. That means experience with Queenslanders, heritage facades, stacker doors, odd-shaped openings, strata, high-rise, and every complication that comes with Queensland homes.
SecureCare after-sales program.
Post-install support including a 12-month workmanship warranty, assistance with sagging doors, noisy screens, alignment adjustments, and a flat $99 call-out for break-in or vandalism response.
What About Cheaper Installers?
Some installers offer Crimsafe at a lower price point. Before comparing on price alone, ask these questions:
The cheapest Crimsafe install and the best Crimsafe install are not the same thing. The product in the box might be identical, but the measuring, manufacturing precision, install care, hardware quality, and long-term support can be completely different.
The Honest Position
Securelux is not the cheapest option. If your only requirement is the lowest possible price for a Crimsafe screen, another installer may quote lower. But if you want detailed advice, careful workmanship, heavy-duty accessories, a tidy installation by employed tradespeople, and a team that picks up the phone after you have paid – that is the Securelux difference, and that is where the additional investment goes.
