Install a Prowler Proof Security Door

Russco’s Glazing Secures East Mackay Business with Prowler Proof ForceField Security Screen Doors

In the vibrant coastal suburb of East Mackay, QLD, local businesses are committed to balancing security with style. For one business recently seeking to upgrade their entryway, this meant finding a door solution that not only offered maximum protection but also maintained a professional and sleek appearance. That’s where Russco’s Glazing stepped in, supplying and installing a set of premium Prowler Proof ForceField® security screen doors.

The result was a seamless blend of safety, durability, and visual appeal—perfect for a business that takes both customer experience and property protection seriously. The newly installed hinged black-framed security screen doors, measuring 2100mm x 1630mm, featured a triple locking mechanism, door closer, and bug seal, ensuring comprehensive security and comfort for both staff and customers.

Understanding the Client’s Needs

This East Mackay business operates in a busy, high-foot-traffic area where doors are frequently opened and closed throughout the day. The original entry doors were functional but lacked the level of security, airflow, and insect protection the business needed.

The business owners were looking for:

• A strong and secure door system to deter break-ins
  
• An aesthetically pleasing option that wouldn’t detract from the professional façade
  
• Effective airflow without compromising on safety
  
• Added features like insect protection, self-closing function, and long-term durability
  

Based on these priorities, Russco’s Glazing recommended the Prowler Proof ForceField®, one of the strongest and most secure security screens on the Australian market.

Why Prowler Proof ForceField®?

Prowler Proof’s ForceField® doors are renowned for their frameless stainless steel mesh design, providing exceptional strength and corrosion resistance while preserving clear visibility and airflow. Unlike traditional grille-style security doors, the ForceField® range features seamless welded corners and 316 marine-grade stainless steel mesh, offering superior durability without compromising appearance.

Key benefits include:

• Triple locking system for enhanced break-in resistance
  
• Flush, modern look that suits commercial and residential properties alike
  
• Excellent airflow and visibility for comfortable use in North Queensland’s tropical climate
  
• Australian Standards tested, passing or exceeding all relevant security, impact, and longevity tests
  

Step 1: Site Assessment and Measuring

The first step in any successful installation is an accurate, on-site inspection. The Russco’s Glazing team visited the East Mackay business to measure the doorway, inspect the existing frame and door surroundings, and discuss functional preferences with the owners.

The final specifications required a hinged security screen door system to cover a wide entry space, measuring 2100mm in height and 1630mm in width. Given the size and use of the entryway, a dual-hinged configuration was ideal to allow ease of access for staff, deliveries, and patrons.

Step 2: Custom Manufacturing and Supply

Once measurements were confirmed, Russco’s Glazing ordered a custom-made set of Prowler Proof ForceField® doors in a sleek black powder-coated finish. The colour matched the building’s existing exterior palette, offering a clean and professional look while hiding dirt and fingerprints—ideal for a commercial environment.

The doors were manufactured to precise measurements to ensure a perfect fit and smooth operation. Additional features included:

• A triple lock system for high-security performance
  
• A hydraulic door closer is used to ensure the door gently returns to a closed position after use
  
• A bug seal fitted at the bottom to block out dust, debris, and insects, which is essential in East Mackay’s tropical conditions
  

Step 3: Installation with Attention to Detail

Installation day was carried out with minimal disruption to the business. Our experienced team installed the frame and hinges, aligned the triple locks, and checked every aspect of the door operation for smoothness and security. The door closer was adjusted for perfect tension, and the bug seal was securely affixed to maintain a tight seal along the threshold.

The dual-hinged doors were installed flush and square, with the locks operating effortlessly and the mesh perfectly tensioned within the frame. Every finishing touch was completed to the highest standard, ensuring the new doors not only looked great but would stand up to heavy daily use.

A Secure, Stylish Outcome

With the black Prowler Proof ForceField® doors in place, the East Mackay business now enjoys a more secure and practical entrance solution. Staff benefit from increased ventilation, customers appreciate the clean appearance, and the owners have peace of mind knowing their premises are protected after hours.

The installation also helps the business meet workplace health and safety standards by reducing insect intrusion and improving entry control.
