When you invest in Crimsafe security doors and screens for your Adelaide home, you are also investing in one of the strongest product warranties in the Australian security screen industry. This page explains exactly what the Crimsafe warranty covers, how long it lasts by product tier, and what you need to do to keep your warranty valid.
Crimsafe Warranty by Product Tier
| Product | Structural Warranty | What Is Covered |
|---|---|---|
| Crimsafe Classic | 10 years | Frame, mesh, Screw-Clamp retention system |
| Crimsafe Regular | 10 years | Frame, mesh, Screw-Clamp retention system |
| Crimsafe Ultimate | Up to 15 years | Frame, mesh, Screw-Clamp retention system |
| Crimsafe Safe-S-Cape | 10 years | Frame, mesh, emergency release mechanism, hinges |
| Crimsafe Fire Attenuation | 10 years | Frame, mesh, BAL compliance performance |
What the Crimsafe Structural Warranty Covers
The Crimsafe structural warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship on the core structural components of your Crimsafe product. This includes:
- The extruded aluminium frame — against structural failure, warping, or corrosion under normal use conditions
- The 304 stainless steel mesh — against structural failure of the mesh under normal residential security conditions
- The Tensile-Tuff Screw-Clamp system — the patented mesh retention system that mechanically locks the mesh into the frame
- The powder coat finish — against delamination, peeling, or blistering under normal conditions (environmental exposure exclusions apply)
The warranty is a structural performance warranty. It covers the product doing what it is designed to do: form a secure physical barrier that resists forced entry and maintains its integrity over time.
What the Crimsafe Warranty Does Not Cover
Like all product warranties, the Crimsafe warranty has exclusions. It does not cover:
- Physical damage from accidents — impact from vehicles, falling objects, or deliberate damage not attributable to product failure
- Misuse or incorrect installation — modifications to the frame or mesh, or installation by uncertified parties
- Lack of maintenance — failure to clean at the required intervals (particularly in coastal and high-exposure environments) can void the warranty. See our Crimsafe cleaning guide for the correct maintenance schedule.
- Consumable hardware — door closers, handles, and lock cylinders are covered by separate manufacturer warranties
- Pet door modifications — Crimsafe doors with pet door cutouts are no longer AS 5039:2008 compliant and are not covered by the structural warranty
Cleaning Requirements to Maintain Your Warranty
One of the most important warranty conditions is the cleaning frequency requirement. Crimsafe specifies minimum cleaning intervals based on your location:
- Standard suburban locations — clean every 3 to 4 months
- Near major roads or industrial areas — clean every 6 to 8 weeks
- Coastal Adelaide suburbs (Glenelg, Brighton, Semaphore, Henley Beach) — clean every 3 to 6 weeks. Salt deposit from sea air accelerates surface oxidation on all metal components. This is the most commonly missed warranty condition for Adelaide coastal properties.
Using the correct cleaning method also matters. High-pressure washing, abrasive pads, and harsh chemical cleaners can void the warranty. See our full step-by-step Crimsafe cleaning guide for the recommended method.

Adelaide Suburbs and Crimsafe Warranty Conditions
South Australia has some of the most demanding environmental conditions for security screens in Australia. Stan Bond SA has been installing Crimsafe across Adelaide since 1970 and understands how local conditions affect warranty maintenance requirements:
- Adelaide Hills and bushfire-prone zones (Stirling, Aldgate, Norton Summit, Bridgewater): Properties in Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) zones require Crimsafe Fire Attenuation screens. The 10-year structural warranty on fire-rated products covers BAL compliance performance as well as structural integrity.
- Coastal Adelaide suburbs (Glenelg, Henley Beach, Semaphore, Brighton, Marino, Port Noarlunga, Christies Beach): Airborne salt deposits from Gulf St Vincent require cleaning every 3 to 6 weeks. Salt is the single most common cause of premature oxidation on aluminium frames and stainless steel mesh. Regular cleaning with the correct product removes salt deposits before they can cause surface corrosion.
- Inner-city and road-adjacent properties (city fringe, North Adelaide, areas near arterial roads): Particulate matter from traffic accelerates surface contamination. Clean every 6 to 8 weeks.
- Standard residential suburbs: Clean every 3 to 4 months to maintain warranty compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions: Crimsafe Warranty Adelaide
How long is the Crimsafe warranty?
Standard Crimsafe products (Classic, Regular, Safe-S-Cape, Fire Attenuation) carry a 10-year structural warranty. Crimsafe Ultimate carries a warranty of up to 15 years. The warranty period starts from the date of installation.
What happens if my Crimsafe door survives a break-in attempt?
If your Crimsafe door or screen resists a forced entry attempt and remains structurally intact, the warranty is still valid. The product is designed to resist forced entry while maintaining its structural integrity. If you notice any deformation, mesh damage, or frame distortion after an attempted break-in, contact Stan Bond SA for a free assessment on (08) 8336 2066.
Can the Crimsafe warranty be transferred if I sell my home?
The Crimsafe structural warranty is attached to the product, not the original purchaser. When you sell your home, the warranty transfers with the product to the new owner for the remaining warranty period. This is a genuine value-add for Adelaide homebuyers as it provides documented product protection from the date of original installation.
Is the warranty voided if I add a pet door to my Crimsafe screen?
Yes. Cutting an aperture into a Crimsafe screen or door for a pet flap removes the structural integrity that makes the product compliant with AS 5039:2008. This modification voids the structural warranty and removes the AS 5039 certification from that unit. If pet access is required, speak with us about alternative solutions that do not compromise the primary screen.
How do I make a Crimsafe warranty claim in Adelaide?
Contact Stan Bond SA directly on (08) 8336 2066. As your authorised Crimsafe dealer and installer, we coordinate the warranty assessment and claim process. Do not attempt to repair, modify, or disassemble the product before contacting us, as this may affect the warranty assessment outcome.
Does my Crimsafe warranty cover corrosion damage?
The Crimsafe structural warranty covers corrosion that results from a manufacturing defect in the frame, mesh, or finish. It does not cover corrosion caused by failure to clean at the required intervals, particularly in coastal environments. This is why regular cleaning to the schedule above is so important for coastal Adelaide properties. Our team can advise on the correct cleaning frequency for your specific location and exposure level.
