Will I still have air circulation?

Yes, Protective Security Screens use genuine Meshtec Mesh. The 10 x 10 open weave mesh provides free flow air circulation.

Can you cut down the size of the Aluminum Surround System shipping crate?

We do offer a “split” (two “C” sections) frame system for any Sliding Door System. Here is how it works; we build and install the entire door system and “split” in half the Top and Bottom Aluminum Surround Frame. The Top and Bottom Tracks connect and bridge the “C” sections of the Aluminum Surround Frame in place. We remove the Top and Bottom Tracks for re-assembly on the job site.

What is the difference between a three sided or four sided Premium Swinging Door?

The Three Sided or Four Sided reference is the number of door frame sides that the swinging door swings into. A Three-Sided Premium Door does not have a bottom frame for the door to swing into, eliminating a “trip hazard” and is typically used in an application where the side frames sit on top of a threshold and use a bottom sweep to cover the gap between the door and threshold. Four Sided Premium Doors are a great solution when the door is surface mounted and the bottom rests on a flat surface below a threshold. The four-sided Premium Door is also a great deterrent to keep “critters” out.

Will regular drywall type screws work?

Regular drywall screws will secure the security screens, but the head on regular drywall screws sometimes interfere with the screw cap covers that conceal the attachment screws. The trim head screws from CRL are smaller and rarely interfere when installing the screw cap covers. Another benefit using the CRL Trim Head Screws are their ability to form a counter sink hole.

What colors do our Security Screens come in?

  • Almond
  • Black
  • Brown

If I install Window Security Screens on bedroom windows how do they open in case of an emergency?

The Quick Escape Security Screen has a built in panic release for bedroom applications.

Do Protective Security Screens replace regular insect screens?

Yes, Protective Security Screens provide security without compromising your clear and unobstructed view of the outdoors.

I’m interested in a security door to protect against intruders, but do not like the look of unsightly bars and perforated steel mesh. Do you have an option?

Yes, our Protective Security Screens offer a clear unobstructed view without any bars. The 316 Stainless Steel Mesh is virtually impossible to penetrate or rip out.

What type of warranty do you offer?

Security Screens offer a Warranty for a period of 10 years (from the date of original invoice) on the mesh, and a period of one year (from the date of original installation) on all hardware (hinges, door closers, locks, and rollers) and painted finishes.

Do you offer a pre-hung sliding door system?

Yes, we have developed an Aluminum Surround System that is manufactured and assembled in a complete unit with all hardware and strikes pre-installed. The Aluminum Surround System was designed for a 20 minute install. The Aluminum Surround System is available for single or double sliding doors. Note: The shipping crate is quite large to accommodate the fully assembled door system. We recommend using glass racks to transport crates to job site.

How long does it take to install a Sliding Security Door System without the aluminum surround system?

Normally it takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours to cut the necessary pieces and install.

How do I bridge the gap between the Premium Four Sided Door and threshold?

There are a couple of options: (1) CRL stocks Sill Adapters that extend the distance of the threshold (CRL #745SAL) to the security door frame; (2) CRL stocks a 1-3/8″ tall by 72″ long brush sweep (CRL #50MH084) to compensate for irregular surfaces.

How long does it take to manufacture Guarda products?
