Is Crimsafe pet proof?

Yes, absolutely. Crimsafe is pet proof.

Crimsafe security screens have been designed to withstand the most extreme impacts, so they can easily keep your pets safely inside, or out.

Crimsafe’s 0.9mm Tensile Tuff® stainless steel mesh is 26.5% thicker than standard mesh, making it not only incredibly strong and resistant to a real-world attack, but also resistant to dogs, cats and birds penetrating or tearing with their claws or beaks.

Pet-proof security screens designed for real homes

Crimsafe security screens are engineered to provide a pet-proof security screen solution that stands up to everyday life with animals – without sacrificing airflow, visibility, or home security.

What makes Crimsafe a pet friendly screen door?

Crimsafe screens are purpose-built to handle both security threats and pet behaviour, using premium materials and advanced engineering.

1. High-tensile stainless steel mesh that resists claws and impact

Crimsafe’s 0.9mm structural grade Tensile Tuff® stainless steel mesh is significantly stronger than cheap flyscreen mesh. Crimsafe is Australia’s strongest security screen and can easily resist:

Scratching from dogs and cats
Pushing or leaning from larger pets
Tearing caused by claws, beaks, or repeated contact

2. Securely clamped, not glued

Cheap screens use rubber wedges or adhesives that loosen over time. Crimsafe has reinforced aluminium corner stakes and a mitred frame design to allow flex on impact, maintaining strength and structural integrity. Crimsafe’s Screw Clamp® technology locks the mesh into the frame with a vice-like grip and spreads impact across the screen’s mesh. Pets (and crims) can’t loosen, push out, or dislodge Crimsafe’s 0.9mm structural grade Tensile Tuff® stainless steel mesh.

3. Built for high-traffic and high-contact pet areas

Crimsafe security screens are ideal for:

Back doors used frequently by pets
Sliding doors opening to yards or patios
Windows where pets like to sit or lean on

How long do Crimsafe screens last with pets?

Crimsafe is Australia’s strongest security screen. Crimsafe security screens come with up to 15 years’ warranty and are designed for daily wear in busy households. Unlike inferior flyscreens that easily tear and only protect your family from insects, Crimsafe’s 0.9mm wire diameter Tensile Tuff® mesh is 26.5% thicker in cross-section than other typical security screens for unmatched strength and resistance to cutting or piercing – even with large or active pets.

Crimsafe has strong mitred corners with a solid one-piece aluminium corner stake. This allows more flex in the frame to allow for impact absorption from pets (and crims).

Benefits for pet owners

Hinged doors for back or side entries
