I don't think I'd rely on any screen door to offer any real security.
Russ,

The metal grid is small enough that you cannot get your hand through unless you have a large metal cutter. The screen door grid is meant to slow down would be crooks and keep honest people honest. You would definitely need a cutting tool to get through it. I primarily installed this type of screen door for my wife so she can feel secure with the front door open when I am not at home.
