When it comes to security screen doors, the lock matters just as much as the frame and mesh. At Prowler Proof, we only use Lockwood Triple Point locks in our security doors, because they are critical to the tested performance of our doors. We do not substitute cheaper hardware, because doing so can compromise strength, compliance, and peace of mind.
Triple Point Locks Are Essential for Security Screen Door Compliance
Not all screen locks are equal. A security screen door is not compliant unless it is fitted with the triple point lock and pin cylinder that it has been tested with in an independent NATA certified testing facility. That tested combination is what proves the door can perform as required.
This is why Prowler Proof is so strict about hardware selection. We don’t treat locks as an optional extra or a place to cut costs. The lock is part of the complete door system, and changing that system with non-tested components may put the door’s performance at risk.
Independently Audited Security Screen Doors You Can Trust
At Prowler Proof, our security screen doors are independently audited by the National Security Screen Association to ensure ongoing compliance with the required standards and tested system specifications. This independent audit process confirms that we are not substituting components with counterfeit products or cheaper alternatives that could compromise door performance, safety, or compliance. For homeowners, that means greater confidence that the security screens and doors installed in your home are built exactly as tested, using genuine, specified components. It’s another way Prowler Proof delivers trusted quality, proven performance, and peace of mind without cutting corners.
Lockwood 8654 Hinge Door Lock for Proven Performance
For hinged security screen doors, Prowler Proof uses the Lockwood 8654 Hinge Door Lock. This premium triple point lock secures the door at three locking points, helping deliver stronger engagement and dependable operation.
Sliding Security Doors with Lockwood 9654 Locks and Performance Plus Strikes
Prowler Proof also uses the Lockwood 8654 Sliding Door Lock for sliding security screen doors. Sliding doors require hardware designed for their unique operation, and this tested triple point locking system helps support both security and smooth functionality.
All Prowler Proof sliding security doors fitted with Lockwood 8654 locks include our unique Performance Plus strikes as standard, giving homeowners an added level of strength, reliability, and confidence. Designed to enhance the overall performance of the locking system, Performance Plus strikes are twice as long as the industry standard. This extra coverage makes it much harder for tools to get leverage between the lock and the frame, dramatically reducing the risk of forced entry through jemmy attacks. Plus, they’re installed using up to twice the number of screws compared to typical designs, spreading the force and creating a connection that holds under pressure. Combined with Lockwood triple-point locking system – securing the door at three points, you get sliding security doors that are way beyond basic protection.
Why Prowler Proof Never Substitutes Cheaper Lock Components
Some suppliers may swap in lower-cost locks or cylinders, but Prowler Proof never does. We know that replacing tested components with cheaper alternatives can affect the overall performance of security screen doors.
Choosing Prowler Proof means choosing a complete, tested system built with the right hardware from the start. With Lockwood Triple Point locks, you can trust that your door is designed to deliver the security and reliability your home deserves.
