Decoding Australian Security Standard AS 5039 (What It Actually Means) 

AS 5039.1:2023 is Australia’s official rulebook for security doors and window grilles. It defines what can legally be called a "security product" versus a basic barrier or insect screen. Under this standard, screens must pass rigorous, independent laboratory testing for structural integrity, heavy impact resistance, and tool resistance before they ever reach your home. 

How Amplimesh Passes Australia’s Toughest Break-In Tests 

The 6 Lab Tests Every Security Screen Must Pass 

To achieve full AS 5039 certification, every Amplimesh screen we measure and fit must pass six physical laboratory tests designed to simulate real-world break-in attempts: 

Lab Test	Real-World Threat	How Amplimesh® Defends Your Home
Knife Shear Test	Knives, utility blades, and sharp tools	Premium high-tensile mesh resists repeated slicing under heavy manual force.
Dynamic Impact Test	Heavy kicks, shoulder barges, and blunt force	Endures repeated strikes from a 40kg pendulum weight without breaching.
Anti-Jemmy Test	Crowbars, screwdrivers, and levering	Reinforced frame and lock points prevent prying at hinges and latches.
Pull Test	Ripping or forcing mesh out of the frame	Mechanical clamping ensures the mesh cannot be pulled or torn free from its housing.
Probe Test	Tool insertion to reach inside locks	Tight tolerances stop thin instruments from reaching internal handles or latches.
Mesh Shear Test	Structural separation under tension	Verifies the internal locking system keeps the mesh continuously bonded to the frame.

Why Professional Security Screen Installation Matters

A world-class security screen is only as strong as the frame holding it. You could buy the toughest Amplimesh screen on the market, but if it is fitted with cheap fasteners or anchored into weak timber, an intruder can simply pop the entire frame out of your wall.

That is why Australian Standard AS 5039.2:2024 exists. This standard dictates exactly how security doors and window screens must be fitted into a building’s structure.

When you work with our expert team at Moreton Bay Security Solutions, you get more than just top-tier products, you get fully licensed and compliant installation. We ensure your screens are anchored with correct sub-frame fixings, heavy-duty tracking, and zero gaps, giving you maximum protection and total peace of mind.

Built for Moreton Bay's Coastal Climate 

Living along the Moreton Bay coast means dealing with harsh salt air, intense UV exposure, and heavy summer storms. Lower-grade security screens might look tough initially, but uncertified mesh quickly rusts, tea-stains, and degrades under local conditions.

The Amplimesh range is engineered specifically to withstand coastal environments while maintaining full Australian Standard compliance:

316 Marine-Grade Stainless Steel

High-tensile mesh designed to resist salt spray, rust, and surface pitting.

Architectural Powder Coating

UV-resistant finish that prevents fading, chalking, and moisture damage.

Corrosion-Proof Frames

Heavy-duty aluminum framing engineered to stay structurally sound near salt water.

Bushfire & Storm Protection

Meets strict bushfire attenuation standards (BAL ratings) to protect against flying embers and extreme weather.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is the difference between SupaScreen and IntrudaGuard?

• SupaScreen: Premium 316 marine-grade stainless steel woven mesh. Offers clear views, maximum air circulation, and a 16-year warranty.
• IntrudaGuard: Durable 5052 marine-grade perforated aluminum. Offers strong security at a lower price point with a 10-year warranty.

Do Amplimesh security doors come with triple locks? 

Yes. To satisfy AS 5039, a security door must feature a three-point locking system. Every Amplimesh® door we fit uses a single-flick triple lock that engages the top, middle, and bottom of your frame simultaneously. 

Can I put a pet door in an Amplimesh security screen? 

Yes, we can install high-tensile pet flaps into your screen. However, we always remind homeowners that adding a pet opening voids official AS 5039 compliance, even though the door remains a strong visual and physical barrier. 

Do certified security screens lower home insurance rates? 

Often, yes. Many Australian insurers offer discounts for homes fitted with AS 5039-compliant security screens and three-point locks, as they lower break-in risks. Check with your insurer for specific policy rules.

How do Amplimesh screens handle coastal salt air in Moreton Bay? 

Extremely well. Both SupaScreen (316 stainless steel) and IntrudaGuard (5052 aluminum) use marine-grade metals. A patented isolation process stops dissimilar metals from touching, preventing rust and galvanic corrosion caused by salt air.

Do Amplimesh security screens keep flies and mosquitoes out? 

Yes. The fine mesh weave blocks standard household bugs, flies, and mosquitoes just like a traditional flyscreen while giving you full structural protection.

Are Amplimesh screens fire or cyclone rated?

• Fire Rating: Yes. Amplimesh SupaScreen satisfies AS 3959 for bushfire protection up to BAL-FZ (Flame Zone), acting as an effective barrier against radiant heat and embers.
• Cyclone Rating: Yes. Amplimesh offers specialised stainless steel screens tested and certified to AS 1170.2 for cyclone regions, proven to withstand high-velocity debris impact without breaching.

Securing Your Peace of Mind

Choosing security screens for your home shouldn't be a guessing game. When you invest in Amplimesh, you are getting a product engineered to beat Australia's toughest break-in tests and built to handle Moreton Bay’s salty coastal climate.

However, a certified screen is only half the equation. To truly comply with AS 5039 and keep your home protected, booking a licensed installation is non-negotiable.

At Moreton Bay Security Solutions, we ensure your screens are measured to the millimeter and anchored to national standards giving you clean airflow, unobstructed views, and complete confidence that your home is secure.
