A security door is not just a sturdy screen. For a screen to be promoted, sold, or even considered a security door, it must conform to, and meet:
- The Australian Standard AS 5039 - Security Screen Doors and Window Grilles and
- It will have passed the Australian Standards AS 5041 - Methods of Test, Security Screen Doors and Window Grilles.

A 3 point lock is standard on a compliant security door and is likely to prevent the bottom or top corner of the door being wrenched open by an intruder.

Key locks should have a 5 pin cylinder or equivalent.

AS 5039 Compliance label placed on a security door ensures that the security screen door has been manufactured to the Australian Standard AS 5039 and the design performance has been verified by an accredited laboratory to meet the Australian Standard AS 5041.

A barrier door may look like a security door, but it has not been tested or manufactured to the Australian Standards, hence may be much cheaper and may not withstand the attempts of a break in.
