We’ve got answers about TRUsafe protection
What are TRUsafe Security Screens?
TRUsafe Security Screens are custom-made, permanently installed security systems designed to reinforce doors, windows, and other vulnerable openings at the point of entry.
Each system combines stainless steel security mesh, reinforced aluminum framing, structural anchoring, and locking components into one professionally engineered security system where every component works together as a whole. The systems are mechanically attached to the structure of the home to help create a hard target against forced entry while still maintaining the natural look, light, and feel of the home.
Howdo TRUsafe Security Screens work?
TRUsafe Security Systems operate as fixed physical accesscontrol. The mesh, frame, hinges, anchoring points, and locking components worktogether as one structurally connected system designed to distribute forceacross the entire opening instead of relying on a single weak point.
Once installed, thesystem creates a permanently integrated physical barrier at the point of entrydesigned to help resist forced access and create a hard target againstbreak-ins.
Aresecurity screens the same as burglar bars?
No. Traditional burglar bars can make a home feel closedoff, heavy, or institutional. TRUsafe Security Screens are designed to providephysical security with a much cleaner and more minimal appearance.
From a distance,TRUsafe systems often resemble a solar screen or standard screen door whilestill being professionally engineered for security. The stainless steel mesh,reinforced frame, and structural attachment system work together to create astrong physical barrier designed to help resist forced entry without changingthe overall look and feel of the home.

Whatis 304 stainless steel mesh?
304stainless steel mesh is a high-tensile woven security mesh designed forstrength, corrosion resistance, airflow, and visibility. It helps resistcutting, impact, and environmental exposure common in Houston’s climate.
Canyou see through security screens?
Yes.TRUsafe systems are designed to maintain outward visibility, natural light, andairflow while still functioning as a reinforced physical barrier.
Dosecurity screens block airflow?

AreTRUsafe systems permanently installed?
Yes.Every TRUsafe system is custom fabricated and professionally installed onto thestructural elements surrounding the door or window. The systems aremechanically fastened into the home itself using security fasteners installedapproximately every 6 inches on center around the perimeter of the opening,creating a tightly integrated system that is extremely difficult to remove orpry away from the structure.

Howare TRUsafe systems attached to the home?
TRUsafe systems are mechanically anchored into the structural elements surrounding theopening to create a permanently integrated reinforcement system.
DoTRUsafe systems require power or monitoring?
No.TRUsafe security systems are fully passive physical security systems that donot rely on electricity, Wi-Fi, apps, monitoring subscriptions, or responsetimes.
Aresecurity screens HOA friendly?

• Standardwindow systems typically begin around $1,100 installed
Aresecurity screens worth it?
For many homeowners, yes. Security screens provide an added layer of physical protection while still allowing airflow, visibility, and natural light into thehome.
