Emergency Exit Screens / Fire Exit Screens
Safety, Security and Peace of Mind for Your Home or Business
In today’s world, safeguarding your home or business requires more than just strong security. It also demands thoughtful planning for emergencies. As homeowners increasingly look for solutions that combine protection with safe escape pathways, Emergency Exit Screens, also known as Fire Exit Screens, have become an essential part of modern security design. At Goldco® Security, we provide high-quality, Australian-made exit screen solutions that offer uncompromising security while ensuring that you and your family can exit quickly in the event of a fire or emergency.
Our range of screens are engineered to deliver maximum strength, seamless functionality and reliable peace of mind. Whether for residential properties, rental homes or commercial settings, exit screens provide a smart and compliant way to enhance security without creating hazards during an evacuation, and are available in our Amplimesh® range: SupaScreen®, IntrudaGuard® or PrivacyGuard® in both hinged and sliding designs.
What Are Emergency Exit / Fire Exit Screens?
Emergency exit screens / fire exit screens are high-security window screens designed with a built-in internal release mechanism that allows fast and easy escape during an emergency. Unlike standard security screens that are permanently fixed in place, these screens give occupants a secure means of escape without compromising on protection from intruders.
Manufactured from robust materials, typically stainless-steel mesh with strong aluminium frames, makes them incredibly resistant to cutting, prying, jemmying and forced entry. However, when needed, they can be opened from the inside with a simple, intuitive motion. This makes them particularly valuable for bedrooms, children’s rooms and any area where occupants may need to exit quickly if a fire blocks access to hallways or doors.
Why Emergency Exit Screens / Fire Exit Screens Are Essential
Enhanced Fire Safety
In the event of a fire, seconds matter. Exit screens provide an immediate escape pathway directly through the window, allowing you to bypass blocked exits. The quick-release mechanism is easy for both adults and children to operate, offering added safety during high-stress situations.
Homes where escape routes need to be discreet and secure
A discreet way to increase personal safety, exit screens are primarily designed for fire safety. However, they also offer support for vulnerable people such as those at risk of home invasion or domestic violence, as well as for families seeking additional layers of safety. In these situations, having a secure but easily accessible escape route can be lifesaving.
Unlike fixed security screens which cannot be opened, exit screens provide:
- A fast, silent escape pathway through a secure window
- An alternative exit if an intruder blocks the main door
- A way for vulnerable occupants to leave safely without confronting danger
Strength Outside, Safety Inside
From the exterior, exit screens look similar to typical security screens. This means:
- The home maintains full security against break-ins
- Only someone inside the room can operate the release mechanism
Goldco® Security understands that personal safety needs vary. Emergency exit screens offer a dignified and discreet improvement to home security without drawing attention to the issue. They simply look like high-quality security screens while providing the peace of mind that you, or someone in your home, has a fast way out if needed.

Maintains Full Security Protection
One of the biggest concerns for property owners is ensuring that providing an escape point does not weaken the home’s security. Exit screens / fire exit screens solve this problem. From the outside, they look and function just like fixed security screens; strong, locked and tamper-resistant. Only those inside the property can access the release mechanism.
How Emergency Exit Screens / Fire Exit Screens Work
Our range of exit screens integrate a simple internal release system. Goldco® Security uses high-quality components designed for durability and reliability.
The Mechanism
- Located on the inside only, ensuring intruders have no access.
- Designed for quick, one-handed operation.
- Features a push-button release depending on the product line.
- Opens smoothly outward.
- The mechanism is intentionally uncomplicated—no keys, complicated locks or steps required. In a high-stress emergency such as a fire, you need exit options that work instantly.
Materials and Construction
Goldco® Security’s emergency exit screens / fire exit screens are built using either our stainless-steel security mesh (often 316 marine-grade for coastal durability) or our marine-grade perforated aluminium mesh. They have a strong extruded aluminium frame with a corrosion-resistant powder-coated finish and tamper-proof fixings. These materials ensure the screen withstands the harsh weather on the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads region, including salty air, UV exposure and forced-entry attempts.
Custom Fitting for Every Home
Every exit screen is custom-measured and crafted to suit the precise dimensions and design of your existing windows. This ensures:
- Clean aesthetics
- Smooth operation
- Optimal safety performance
- Full compliance with fire regulations and building codes
Where Emergency Exit Screens / Fire Exit Screens Are Most Useful
Exit screens can be installed in virtually any room or building type, but the following locations benefit most:
- Residential Homes
- Bedrooms
- Children’s rooms
- Playrooms
- Granny flats
- Commercial Properties
- Childcare centres
- Aged care facilities

IMPORTANT:
- Exit screens can NOT be fitted to windows that are deemed as falling from height risks under the National Construction Codes (NCC)
