Pricing guide

Costs are driven by the material grade and any certification requirements, and by whether the frame needs repair or custom manufacture. Standard installs with installer‑supplied mesh are typically less expensive than security‑grade or stainless options that may need testing or documentation. Callout fees, hourly labour and after‑hours attendance also usually affect the final price.

  • Door material and certification

    Security‑grade mesh, stainless steel or bushfire‑rated doors generally require specialist materials and add to cost because of higher material and certification overheads.

  • Extent of frame repair

    On‑site frame repair, rebating, welding or fixing a damaged opening typically increases labour and complexity compared with a straight mesh replacement.

  • Custom manufacture and lead time

    Jobs needing custom aluminium extrusions or fabricated parts often require a site measure and fabrication lead time, which can affect the overall quote and timing.

  • Who supplies the materials

    Installer‑supplied standard mesh and basic fittings are assumed for simple jobs, while upgraded materials or customer‑supplied parts usually change the scope and cost.

  • Timing and callout attendance

    Callout and travel time are typically charged, and work outside standard hours is usually billed at a higher rate.

Frequently asked questions

How long will the work usually take?
A simple flyscreen mesh replacement is typically completed in a single visit and takes a short time. If frame repair or custom manufacture is required, the job often needs a site measure and additional time for fabrication and return visits.
Do installers need to be registered?
Security door installers typically need to be registered rather than hold a separate trade licence, and requirements can vary by state or territory. Ask the installer to confirm their registration and any compliance documentation they can provide.
Will the installer supply the materials?
Installers usually supply standard mesh and basic fittings for a standard install, but upgraded security mesh, stainless materials or customer‑supplied parts should be specified up front. Mentioning your preferred materials when requesting a quote helps ensure the right items are planned.
What if my frame is damaged or non‑standard?
If the opening is damaged or non‑standard, a profile covering frame repair or custom manufacture is often used; this can include cutting, welding or custom extrusions. In such cases the installer will typically arrange a site measure and advise on lead time and scope before proceeding.
