Security screen doors in Orange, CA
A screen door worthy of the Plaza's century-old porches.
Made for Orange
Doors that fit how Orange lives
A block off the Plaza in Old Towne Orange, the twentieth century is still very much in residence: Craftsman bungalows with deep porches, Victorian cottages, hipped-roof farmhouses from the citrus years, all kept with the kind of care that has made this one of California's best-preserved historic districts. These are houses that were born with screen doors - the porch, the screen, and the evening breeze were a single system - and owners here tend to be exacting about keeping the look right. Good. So are we. A Daylight Steel door is, visually, a proper old-fashioned screen door: slim frame, finish-matched to period trim, and a fine weave of 316 marine-grade stainless steel where the screen cloth used to be.
What is new is that the weave functions as a locked door. The front door of a 1915 bungalow can stand open through an Orange summer evening - air moving down the hall, the porch and the street in plain view, every insect refused at the threshold - with the house fully secured the entire time. Our own installers measure each opening, which century-old frames genuinely require, and the finished door hangs true without disturbing original casings. In Old Towne, respect for the house comes first. This door was built agreeing with that.

Asked in Orange
Will a security screen door look right on my Old Towne Orange bungalow?
It is designed to. The profile is a traditional screen door's - narrow frame, no bars, no ornamental metalwork - with finishes that sit comfortably against Craftsman and Victorian trim. On porch-fronted houses that originally shipped with screen doors, ours reads as a faithful, better-built descendant. Neighbors are more likely to ask where you found it than to notice it is a security product.
Can you install without damaging original door casings and trim?
Yes - preservation of the existing entry is a first principle. The security screen mounts to the opening without altering your historic door, casing, or hardware, and our installer measures the true dimensions of frames that have settled over a century. If you ever removed the door, the original entry would remain exactly as it was.
How does pricing work, and do historic homes cost more?
Our pricing is published on the website, and historic homes use the same price list as everyone else - one flat installed price per product. Nonstandard opening sizes are simply part of custom fabrication and get a straight written custom quote before any visit. You will know your number before our installer ever knocks on your door.
Do the doors help with airflow in older houses without central air?
Substantially. Many Old Towne homes rely on the evening cross-breeze the way they did a century ago, and a locked security screen on the front and back doors lets that system work at full strength for hours. The 316 stainless mesh keeps every insect out while the house exhales the day's heat - original engineering, modern materials.
Who is Daylight Steel?
An Orange County security screen company founded in 2026. Every door and window screen we install is a Vista Security Screens system in 316 marine-grade stainless mesh, measured and installed by our own employees rather than subcontractors, at one flat installed price per product that is published on our website before you ever talk to us.
How can I check out a security door company before booking a visit?
Four checks, all free: look the company up in the CSLB Check a License database at cslb.ca.gov, get a real installed price in writing before anyone visits, confirm whether employees or subcontractors do the install, and get the warranty terms on paper. Our own answers: Daylight Steel holds no CSLB license number today - the application is in process and the number publishes the day it issues - and the other three checks you can run right now from this page. The full checklist is in our guide to choosing a security screen door company.
Why hire a company that was founded in 2026?
Judge the checkable facts rather than the founding date. The system we install has been manufactured under three names since it arrived from Australia, our prices are published before the sales visit and the written quote at your measure matches them, the product warranty is the manufacturer's rather than ours, and nothing is owed at the measure. A new company cannot fake any of those; an established one is not excused from them.
What happens to my warranty if the company goes out of business?
Ours is not ours to lose: the 10-year manufacturer powder-coating color warranty on mesh and panels; 1 year on hardware sits with the manufacturer of the system, and the written terms come with every quote. A warranty written by an installer is only as durable as the installer, which makes this a fair question to put to every company you compare, including us.
