Advancing Technologies to Exceed Quality and Customer Expectations

DYNAMIC IMPACT TEST

Australian Standard AS 5041
The test uses a 42kg impactor delivering 100 joules of energy, repeated five times to simulate burglar kicks. MESHTEC Security Door passes with ease.

KNIFE SHEAR TEST

Australian Standard AS 5041
The Knife Shear Test simulates a burglar’s knife attack, with 150N vertical and 350N horizontal forces. Meshtec far exceeds the required 150mm penetration limit.

QUV WEATHERING TEST

American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM D 4587, ASTM D 5894
Accelerated weathering tests simulate long-term outdoor exposure. Meshtec passes the QUV Weathering Test after 1,000 hours.

JEMMY TEST

Australian Standard AS 5041
The Jemmy Test simulates break-ins using a lever, applying 1.5 kN force and 450 Nm torque to locking points.

TENSILE TEST

Japanese Industrial Standard JIS Z 2241
Meshtec’s 316-grade wire passes tensile tests at 900±40 MPA, and 304-grade wire at 800±30 MPA.

SALT SPRAY TEST

American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM B117
Meshtec mesh passes the Salt Spray Test after 3,000 hours, equating to over 10 years of corrosion resistance.

DURABILITY TEST

Australian Standard AS4145.2
Lockset hardware tests ensure durability of door and window components based on application and customer requirements

LARGE MISSILE IMPACT TEST

American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM E1996
The Large Missile Test simulates storm debris impact, withstanding 4kg projectiles at speeds of up to 24m/sec.

Meshtec resists repeated attempts to break through the screen using brute force. Independent lab testing results exceed stringent Australian Standards, verifying that the screen system withstands more than 885 pounds per inch of repeated impact pressure.

The use of high tensile strength, woven stainless steel creates a nearly impenetrable shield that can repel the sharpest knife. Independent testing confirms that Meshtec screens withstand repeated cut attempts, yielding less than 1/4” to the blade.

All Meshtec security doors utilize a 3-point vault lock system and latch guards to protect against attempts to pry the door open using a wide variety of burglary tool. Independent lab testing confirms that Meshtec security doors exceed demanding Australian standards.
