Wonderful service and reliability – I am very impressed with my Crimsafe doors. There was a problem with the framework from the previous doors that were here and the installer went away with photos and measurements. He returned with the problem solved and the door now closes and locks smoothly. Thank you, I can’t recommend this company enough for its service and reliability. Photo1. The old frame Photo 2 & 3 the new frame fitted over the old one. So neat and tidy. Show 4 replies

Product and installation highly recommended – I ordered Crimsafe screen doors for my balcony area and am very happy with the product . I made my purchase through Wynstan Concord who really disappointed me with their customer service skills and the very long delay in delivering the doors . The installer Theo went far and beyond with his service and delivered an excellent job . I would highly recommend him as he is very dedicated o his job . Show details ·  1

Crimsafe - Excellent Product – The Crimsafe products came highly recommended by a friend. We initially thought they were very expensive. However, after seeing the high quality of the doors and windows, in addition, the fixed windows and aqua closers on the triple lock doors have made a huge difference to our home. We feel very safe and secure on warm nights to allow the breeze… Read more ·  1

Perfect Fit, Looks really good – Went online for a quotation and received a call back within minutes, arranged a time, happy with the discussion and our requirements for a door and a screen over the window next to the door, quote accepted, about 10 days later the fitter did a great job, the old door was taken away, wife is very happy. Show reply

Crimsafes 10 year warranty is a joke. Their idea of customer service is to blame the customer for any faults including poor manufacturing and assembly whilst attempting to extract the maximun $ out of their customers. Told me I would have to pay $150 call out fee +$150 to replace broken rivets and replace a lock + extra $ for any other parts… Read more

needed. I had my locksmith do it all for $150. Reading other reviews here it seems that is their typical "customer service"way of operating. I am a security industry business owner and used to advise ALL my clients to use their products. WILL STOP THAT AND I WILL NEVER USE THEIR PRODUCTS AGAIN!

One screen is very bouncy, some even scratching my windows. After we complaint, Crimsafe came to our house for measurement but didn’t want to reveal the figures to us. Told us the screens had met their standard even before they made the measurement. We had lodged complaints to their boss but no one replied. This company has no integrity with… Read more

high ego, refuses to admit their fault. When we asked for their standards, Crimsafe told us it can’t be emailed to us. Had lodged complaints to fair trade office and waiting for a mediator. Highly regrets buying those screens to be treated disrespectfully by Crimsafe. Please send me the measuring figures ASAP, we have rights to know about our screens. We also have engaged national security screen Australia for standards too and told them Crimsafe refuses to provide standard references to us. What a doggy company full of lies and games. Will not command to anyone for this kind of bad luck.

I called Crimsafe in a panic as we'd been broken into twice. The ?admin officer, I think her name was Simone, was EXCELLENT at responding promptly and escalating it to the manager. They sorted out the window promptly and the robbers weren't able to come back after that. The empathy, escalation to manager, and prompt response from management was above and beyond. I can't thank you guys enough for keeping us safe. Show reply

Had a full Crimsafe install on my place 18 months ago. I recently had an issue with one of the locking mechanisms (turned out to be a less than precise installation). When I tried to contact the company I originally purchased the products from in Canberra I was informed they had closed down and were taken over by another reasonably well known… Read more ·  1

company (still using the old phone number and website) of the original company. In any case the new owners just washed their hands of the problem.

So my next call was directly to Crimsafe headquarters. I spoke to Tammy who listened politely and then followed up with multiple emails that same day as to how the issue would be resolved. That was on Monday. It is now Thursday and a new installation company representative arrived and fixed the problem.

So in summary I could not be more impressed with the response from Crimsafe. They turned a lemon into lemonade. I have absolutely no connection to this company. Just want to give credit when it is earned

Awful experience dealing with Crimsafe. Our door started rusting after 12 months for no reason and Crimsafe refuse to honour the warranty as we weren’t provided with their maintenance guide nor told the warranty only applies if the screen is cleaned with Crimsafe products. Dealing with their customer support team is awful. For a company to refuse… Read more

a warranty claim on the basis that the maintenance guidelines have not been followed, yet Crimsafe fail to ensure the owner is provided with the maintenance guidelines or even sample products with the sale of the door so the owner is aware of the care plan is a disgrace. Customer support gaslight you to say you caused the problem and talk in circles around internal processes that are in place, yet fail to prove the processes are put into action and cannot provide proof they provide you with the documentation (because they do not)! They blame you and everyone but themselves for their product being faulty. Their customer support are inept at customer service but excel in arguing their point like a teenager having to have the last word. Extremely poor quality goods for top dollar and awful support. Do your research first. Or if you like rust give them full support.

Know what your buying with Crimsafe Security Doors, ensure there from a licensed and reputable company that exists, ask if the door frame is made from quality heavy or hard metal or just flimsy cheap aluminium dont be fooled, you can kick in a flimsy aluminium frame, ensure they also have topn and bottom bolts and that the doors are installed correctly.

After months of issues with the first ill-fitting slider installed by an incompetent licensee (screeching and scratching and stiff to move), Crimsafe HQ sent Sentinel Security Canberra to the rescue. Aaron rang and organised their guy Anthony Shephard to come down and view the problem and he re-measured for a new slider. The door we had installed… Read more ·  1

was the wrong one for our frame, didn't fit correctly, had pop rivets that broke off instead of the crimsafe screws, and a whole list of issues. 2 weeks later Anthony came and installed the new slider and problem solved. I can't thank Sentinel enough for the expediency to correct another workman's issues. I have no receipt to attach as I'd already paid for a door with Leybrook

their security door is a good product but the experience is soured by them then offering you a $20 voucher for a good review. Including shipping / postage there is no crimsafe product that you can get for $20 imo. This makes it a VERY questionable "offer"

 Follow-up  · the offer of a $20 voucher is useless, almost an insult .

I am disappointed to have my warranty claim on a Crimsafe screen rejected because I did not follow Crimsafe’s maintenance requirements of cleaning the screen every two months so as to avoid damage by sea air. I think it is unfair to require me to clean the house screens installed in my house ( near a river ) . I have had many of these Crimsafe… Read more

screens installed in my house. I think it is not only unfair, but onerous , for me to clean these screens ( front and back) so regularly. In order to preserve the warranty. One screen developed white spots ( resembling corrosion ) 4-5 years after installation and my warranty claim for replacement or repair was rejected. Had I known about Crimsafe’s crucial maintenance requirements, I would have opted for cheaper screens when I had screens installed. Haven’t I got enough things to do with my life then clean screens six times a year? The irony is that only one screen had damage- the others are fine - despite not being regularly cleaned!

Get really dirty windows and can’t get the screens off to clean unless you pay a licensed dealer to take them off the then put them back on If they were serious about security they would have individual screws for each place and leave owners with bit to remove screens Zero help from head office Don’t waste your money find a better product with better customer service Show details

I have the same problem as Dave R, oxidation of the metal screen, despite being painted / powder coated. Our Crimsafe screens were installed by [Name Removed] in 2018 and we started noticing white fluffy powder in 2022/2023. We made a claim in 2024 and our claim was denied because "the damage observed is a result of a build-up of dirt, salt, and… Read more

other air impurities that have become trapped in the mesh and frame". We have kept the screen quite clean because it's in a prominent part of the house (the main door to the backyard).

One of the service people who came to adjust the screen latch told us that this oxidation is common and that Crimsafe don't use the same materials anymore because of this problem.

We did the entire house in crimsafe, 4 doors and every window, including an escape one. Used the product to clean it each year as recommended. Got issue with white stuff on front door and a single window. Cleaned it away, came back, cleaned it again, returned. All products are still under warranty. Logged warranty claim, got informed I didn't… Read more

clean it was the issue and no warranty claim given. What I have been told is that there are two chemicals/products within the door that create this suff if they come in contact with each other, not sure if that part is true, but if it is, then that's the actual issue because the stuff has been cleaned as per instructions. I won't spend the extra to get this crimsafe product again on the next house it's an eye sore now and makes the house look bad.

They did however offer to fix it for a fee not under warranty.

These feel secure, but – We had a Crimsafe screen door installed by Wynstan. Over the years it served us well. However, in the last few years the striker has broken, which in turn doesn't let the door lock at all. Wife got up me for not having it fixed on the weekend, so I decided to investigate why. It was definitely the lock mechanism. I rang Wynstan and because I was… Read more

a valued customer and #1 on the wait list, I got tired of waiting and left a message. Three days later, I had to ring again, because there was no return call to this valued customer. After explaining to the person on the other end, she asked for photo's to be sent to her. By mid afternoon, I had a reply. Dear 'valued customer'. We have identified your lock and will sell you a complete replacement 3 point lock system for $450!!! Knock me down with a feather!! The whole friggin door cost $800!! AND I only want the lock. So be careful if you're buying Crimsafe. They are secure, but parts aren't interchangeable with other locks and do break with ease. Looks like it won't be fixed anytime soon.

Disappointing – 6 months after installation of 10k worth of Crimsafe screens we noticed a white residue buildup on the lower part of the aluminium mainly in areas where there were screws. It was a full time job trying to clean it off! We have had the screens for about 2 years now and after a recent holiday we returned to find a significant build up of residue,… Read more

when cleaned off the aluminium had disintegrated leaving pits in the screens. We immediately contacted the installation company who took photos and passed them on to Crimsafe, our claim on a 10 year warranty was denied due to poor cleaning of screens! So disappointed in this company as we have spent so much time trying to maintain our investment and they can’t consider that there may be a fault with the product! We have screens from another company on our windows which are 20 years old with no signs of any problems.

Crimsafe exterior doors (3) – I have 3 Crimsafe doors installed, and I’m mostly happy with them, however I understand that a magnet should not stick to the genuine product, is this correct? The magnet sticks like glue, I’m afraid I’ve been sold an inferior product. Show 3 replies

Average but Happy with final outcome – I enquired about new balcony doors and Clearview responded very quickly and within days I had someone attend and provide a quote. It was roughly $800 cheaper than previous quotes so I was happy to proceed. 5-6 weeks passed (average make time) and my doors were ready to be installed. I was looking forward to finally having operating doors on my… Read more

balcony. The doors however were way too small (measured incorrectly) and could not be installed.

Clearview called the next business day (Monday) and advised my new doors could be installed by Wednesday at the earliest. Not sure how they can turn a new set around so quickly with a make time of 5-6 weeks but happy that I now have doors on the balcony, thank you Clearview
