Security doors & flyscreens in Unanderra.
Unanderra sits inland on the southern side of Wollongong, between the escarpment and the industrial belt, well sheltered from the worst of the coastal salt. That opens up lower-cost mesh options without giving up real security. Security doors, window screens and flyscreens installed across Unanderra, Berkeley and Kembla Grange.
The Unanderra security door story.
Inland and sheltered, so aluminium is back on the table.
Unanderra and Berkeley sit a fair way back from the coast, behind the ridge that runs down to Port Kembla, so the salt-air load is much lighter than the beach suburbs. That means a structural perforated aluminium or 304 stainless security door will give you a long, trouble-free life at a lower price than the 316 marine-grade mesh we insist on near the water. For most Unanderra homes, aluminium-perforated is the sweet spot of strength and value.
Working-suburb housing stock.
Unanderra is a mix of post-war fibro and brick homes and newer infill, much of it owner-occupied families and retirees. The priority here is usually a solid security door on the front and back and screens on the windows people sleep with open. We work to a budget and do the highest-value openings first, then come back for the rest if needed.
Older residents and easy egress.
With a high share of older residents, easy escape and easy operation matter. We fit security doors with simple, large-handle key-free internal releases so an older person can open the door instantly without fumbling for a key, while it stays locked against the street. The same goes for egress screens on bedroom windows.

A worked example.
A post-war brick home in Unanderra does the front and back doors in structural perforated aluminium ($620 + $640) plus three bedroom window screens at $230 each ($690), total $1,950 supplied and installed in a day. Because the home is well inland we use aluminium rather than stainless, which keeps the cost down with no real corrosion penalty here.
