Description - Security Screen

A security screen installs to an existing window. A security screen looks similar to an insect screen but in addition to providing insect protection it provides security and protection. Metro Security Screens provide protection to public housing developments, public schools, colleges and universities, medical facilities and much more. Our security screens have been installed over the glass windows of homes built on golf courses to eliminate glass breakage from straying golf balls.







Security Screens are made in many different styles to meet your specific needs. We can specially design them to your needs, so if you do not see what you are looking for please call us and we will be glad to assist you. We ship to all locations in the USA.







Security Screen Colors

Our standard colors for the extruded aluminum frames are white, bronze and silver. We of course can paint them to any color for a small additional charge. The stainless steel mesh is silver but is also available in black.







Hinged Style Security Screens

Security Screens are available with a piano hinge and latching system. This allows the security screen to be opened for egress or ease of window cleaning. Another option is to use a key lock instead of the spring loaded latch.







We offer a hinged security screen with a 3” master or sub frame. This master frame is also available in a 2” design. This style security screen has a 5/8” lip around the perimeter for ease of screw on installation to the existing primary window.

This is the inside view of our security screen. Here we see the spring loaded latch and protective guard to prevent intrusion from the outside of the window. Simply pull on the latch and push out on the screen for ease of opening.











A hinged security screen is also available without the master frame. A piano hinge is attached directly to one side of the security screen frame. The same latching system is also attached to the opposite side. The latch can be made to catch onto your existing primary window. A section of angle aluminum may be attached to your primary window to act as a catch for the spring loaded latching bolts. If you can use the security screen without the master frame then you can save money.
