Crimsafe iQ is the most advanced security screen door in the Crimsafe product range — and the only mesh security door in Australia to have passed the European RC2 burglary resistance standard. Stan Bond SA installs Crimsafe iQ doors across metropolitan Adelaide for homeowners and businesses who want the highest level of independently certified security, combined with integrated insect screening and optional electronic access control.
What Is Crimsafe iQ?
The Crimsafe iQ differs from standard Crimsafe products in three key areas:
- RC2 European certification — Crimsafe iQ is the only mesh security screen door in Australia certified to the European RC2 burglary resistance standard. This test involves sustained, tool-assisted attack across the full door surface and is widely recognised as the most rigorous independent test available for a residential security screen door.
- Heavy-duty reinforced hardware — Crimsafe iQ uses reinforced hinges, additional locking points and a wider, stronger frame than Crimsafe Classic and Ultimate. The iQ frame is engineered to resist forced entry across all edges, not just the mesh panel.
- Integrated insect and security screening — Crimsafe iQ combines security and flyscreen functionality into one frame. The Tensile-Tuff® stainless steel mesh provides security screening and insect exclusion in a single door, eliminating the need for a separate flyscreen.
Crimsafe iQ-m vs iQ-e: Which Locking Variant?
Crimsafe iQ is available in two locking variants:
| Feature | iQ-m (Mechanical) | iQ-e (Electronic) |
|---|---|---|
| Lock type | Multi-point mechanical lock | Electronic — keypad, Bluetooth or key fob |
| Key required? | Yes — physical key | Optional — keyless entry available |
| Smart access | No | Bluetooth enabled — open via phone or fob |
| Power dependency | None | Battery operated — manual override available |
| RC2 certified? | Yes | Yes |
| Best for | Maximum security, no electronics dependency | Keyless entry, rental properties, multi-user access |
Crimsafe iQ vs Classic vs Ultimate: Comparison
| Feature | Crimsafe Classic | Crimsafe Ultimate | Crimsafe iQ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Australian Standard | AS 5039:2008 | AS 5039:2008 | AS 5039:2008 + RC2 |
| Mesh grade | 304 stainless steel | 316 marine grade SS | 304 stainless steel |
| Frame reinforcement | Standard | Standard | Heavy-duty reinforced |
| Locking | 3-point lock | 3-point lock | Multi-point + electronic option |
| Integrated flyscreen | No | No | Yes |
| RC2 burglar resistance | No | No | Yes |
| Coastal corrosion resistance | Standard | Best — 316 SS | Confirm with installer |
| Price tier (Adelaide installed) | Entry | Mid-premium | Premium |
The iQ is the right choice when RC2 certification, electronic access control, or a combined security and flyscreen installation is required. If marine-grade corrosion resistance is the priority (coastal Adelaide suburbs such as Glenelg, Henley Beach or Semaphore), Crimsafe Ultimate with 316 SS mesh may be more appropriate — discuss both options with Stan Bond SA at the time of measure and quote.
Who Should Choose Crimsafe iQ in Adelaide?
- High-security front entries — Properties in higher-risk inner-city suburbs including Unley, Prospect, Norwood and Bowden where RC2 certification provides verified, independent assurance of burglar resistance.
- Investment properties and rentals — The iQ-e electronic locking variant simplifies tenant access management without key cutting or rekeying costs between tenancies.
- Combined screen replacement — Homes replacing both a security door and a flyscreen simultaneously. The iQ delivers both functions in one installation at a lower combined cost than two separate doors.
- Heritage and streetscape-sensitive properties — The Crimsafe iQ slim profile satisfies visual amenity requirements in heritage overlay areas across inner Adelaide without the bulk of a traditional steel security door.

Frequently Asked Questions — Crimsafe iQ Adelaide
What is Crimsafe iQ and how does it differ from standard Crimsafe?
Crimsafe iQ is the premium model in the Crimsafe security screen door range and the only mesh security door in Australia certified to the European RC2 burglary resistance standard. Compared to Crimsafe Classic and Ultimate, the iQ has a heavier-duty reinforced frame, additional locking points, and is available with electronic locking (keypad, Bluetooth or key fob) in the iQ-e variant. It also integrates a flyscreen into the same frame.
What does RC2 certification mean for a security screen door?
RC2 is a European burglary resistance classification requiring a door to withstand sustained, tool-assisted attack by multiple persons for a defined period. For a mesh security screen door, this is an exceptionally high bar — standard Australian AS 5039:2008 compliance does not require this level of testing. Crimsafe iQ is the first and currently only mesh security screen door in Australia to achieve RC2 status.
What is the difference between Crimsafe iQ-m and iQ-e?
The iQ-m uses a mechanical multi-point lock requiring a physical key. The iQ-e uses an electronic locking system with keypad, Bluetooth smartphone access and key fob options — a physical key override is also included. Both variants are RC2 certified. The iQ-e suits rental properties or households wanting keyless access; the iQ-m suits those preferring no electronics dependency.
How much does Crimsafe iQ cost to install in Adelaide?
Crimsafe iQ is priced at a premium above Crimsafe Classic and Ultimate due to the RC2 certification, reinforced hardware and electronic locking options. Pricing varies by door size, configuration (hinged or sliding) and iQ variant selected. Contact Stan Bond SA on 08 8336 2066 for a free measure and written quote for your specific opening dimensions.
Can Crimsafe iQ be used as a bushfire emergency escape door?
Crimsafe iQ is not the same product as Crimsafe Safe-S-Cape, which is specifically designed with a quick-release mechanism for emergency egress in bushfire-prone areas. If bushfire zone compliance or emergency escape is a requirement (for example in Adelaide Hills BAL-rated properties), Stan Bond SA can advise on the appropriate Crimsafe Safe-S-Cape configuration for your opening.
