Source & install security front door for Victorian terrace house

Adrian requested 3 quotes from Carpenters in South Melbourne

  We would like a security door installed on our Victorian terrace house in South Melbourne, so that we can leave the main front door open on hot days without risking burglary.

The door needs:

(a) to be secure (made of steel or cast iron, not just mesh & timber), so that a burglar can't just cut the mesh and reach through to unlock the door, and

(b) to be in an attractive heritage style that suits our Victorian terrace house (a weatherboard), and that adds to the appeal and value of the house.

We are looking for a supplier who is experienced with installing security doors and who can:

(a) advise us on which door would suit - e.g. what size and style would fit into our doorframe, etc,
(b) either advise us on where to buy the door (e.g. let us know which brand/model would be right) or simply source it for us, and
(c) install the door to completion (including the locks).

In regard to choosing the right door, we've seen some very attractive ones on the internet (e.g. http://www.prowlerproof.com.au/page/heritage/Classic-doors), but we have no idea of what they cost, what size or style we'd need, where to source them, etc.

We'd like the door installed as soon as possible - e.g. next week would be perfect! - as we'd love to keep the front door open on these hot January days.

Some photos of the door and door frame are attached.

Note that the existing door is .9m wide x 2.1m high.

If you can call this weekend, that would be great, as next week is busy with work and we'd like to get started asap.
