Hugo spent the morning on the tools with Dad at QG Air. Apparently he's decided school isn’t for him and he’s joining the family business instead.🤣👨‍🔧⚒️

CONFUSED ABOUT CHEAP 'SECURITY DOOR' ADVERTISING?

You’re not alone — but not all “security doors” are created equal!

There’s a big difference between a true security door and a barrier or safety door, and it’s important to know what you’re really paying for when it comes to protecting your home and family.

✅ A genuine security door must meet the Australian Standard AS 5039/AS 5039.2:2024 and pass rigorous testing under AS 5039.3 – Methods of Test.
✅ It must have a 3-point lock (standard, not an upgrade) to resist forced entry.
✅ Key locks should feature a 5-pin cylinder minimum (no wafer cylinders).
✅ It should have a compliance label, confirming it’s been manufactured to Australian Standards.
✅ And it must be professionally installed to be effective.

While a compliant security door may cost more than a basic barrier door, the difference lies in real protection — not just appearance.
When you choose an NSSA Member, you’re choosing:
✔️ A compliant product
✔️ Professionally trained and qualified installers
✔️ Peace of mind that your security screen meets the standard it claims to.

Yes, it might cost more than a barrier door, but ask yourself - WHAT IS YOUR FAMILY'S SAFETY WORTH? DON'T BE MISLED BY CHEAPER-NON-COMPLIANT PRODUCTS.

For real security, choose an NSSA Member: https://www.nssa.org.au/find-a-member . Only Real Members are listed here.

Tomorrow, we pause to honour the bravery, sacrifice, and spirit of the ANZACs.

Their legacy reminds us of the true meaning of courage and community.

From all of us at Great Barriers, we thank those who served—and those who continue to serve.
