ANSI/SMA 6001, AS5039 and AAMA 1901 all count equally here — each is a recognised third-party protocol. We do not rank the standards against each other, because they measure different things and no neutral crosswalk exists.

What the maker is still on the hook for after the install. A long warranty that covers labor and transfers with the house is worth more than a headline number on parts only.

- Warranty does not state both labor cover and transferability0 / 6
- No break-in guarantee0 / 10
How the mesh is held in the frame is the usual failure point under lever attack. Naming the mechanism is a competence signal; refusing to describe it is not.
- Mesh retention method not described0 / 5
