Security Lynx Door and Window Screens Can Enhance the Safety of Your Home or Business




Last year, more than 42,000 incidents of burglary and/or breaking and entering occurred across Washington state. Half of those offenses were residential, while another 33% happened at a place of business.To get more news about home window sensors, you can visit securamsys.com official website.

While there are many ways to improve the safety and security of your home or business, there’s one that’s relatively new to Whatcom County residents: reinforced door and window security screens.

These screens are now available through Bellingham company Security Lynx, an official dealer of Crimsafe — a longtime Australian company that makes the criminal-blocking screens and has expanded into the United States.Security Lynx was founded in early 2021 by Ron Faber, a Lynden resident and local contractor with decades of remodeling experience. His foray into Crimsafe products began when a client wanted a secure patio space in front of his home.
Faber began researching options and stumbled upon Crimsafe. He talked the company into doing the job, upon which time he was asked to become a Crimsafe dealer for Washington — a dealer that would be ideally located between Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia.

Despite having a full-time job already, Faber said yes because he was taken with the quality of Crimsafe’s products, both aesthetically and security-wise.
It’s an amazing product,” he says. “We’ll put one window or a door on, and homeowners will go, ‘Wow, that doesn’t even look like a security product; it looks like a normal screen.’”

Built to Withstand
Crimsafe screens are made of a tightly woven, stainless-steel mesh capable of withstanding significant impacts and breakage attempts. The mesh is tightly screwed into frames, and then clamped down using a patented clamp system.

An intruder can’t cut the mesh with a knife and can’t bash it in with a hammer or forceful kick. The mesh is nearly impossible to get through without a criminal resorting to extreme methods that would be easily noticeable to anyone in the vicinity.

At a recent Seattle home show, Security Lynx invited hundreds of people to hit a 3-foot by 4-foot screen with a baseball bat. Over the course of nine days, the mesh never broke, simply bowing in about an inch or so.

And unlike security alarm systems, which are turned off while you’re home, Crimsafe screens offer 24-7 protection to a home or business, even when you’re inside.

“You literally can leave your front door open, and just lock this screen door, and that screen door is five times stronger than your front door,” Faber says. “I get texts from people all the time, saying, ‘Man, we slept last night with the front door open and the patio door open. We never felt safer.’”
Crimsafe screen doors have three locking points, so when someone locks their door, it triggers additional latches at the top and bottom of the door.

The company also makes emergency exit window screens called Safe-S-Capes, which allows them to be opened from the inside in case of a fire or other emergency necessitating window escape.

All Crimsafe products are backed by a 10-year warranty, and Faber says both he and homeowners are often impressed with how good the screens look despite their security purpose.
