Why this score
Can you find out what you are buying before you sign? Published pricing is weighted hardest because it is the rarest and least game-able signal in this category.

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 length not published0 / 14
- Warranty does not state both labor cover and transferability0 / 6
- Break-in guarantee up to $1,0003.3 / 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
Stated editorial position, not a performance metric: we weight US manufacturing because it shortens warranty recourse and supply lead times. Readers who do not share that preference should subtract these 10 points — the breakdown below makes that easy.
- No made-in-USA claim published0 / 10
Where it's strong
- Publishes numeric test figures under AAMA 1901-25: 100 J × 5 dynamic impact, 450 N·m pry, 300 lbf pull, 150–350 N knife shear.
- Broad dealer coverage, generally easier to find outside major metros than Crimsafe.
- Lifetime rust-proof warranty on the aluminium components.
What to watch
- Does not publish the warranty length for the system as a whole, only that one exists.
- No wire diameter, weave density or alloy grade published; 'marine grade' is an unregulated phrase, not a specification.
- Break-in deductible cover is $1,000 against Boss's $3,000.
Titan: common questions
Is Titan's AAMA testing as good as AS5039?
They measure overlapping but different things, and no neutral crosswalk between them exists — so this rating treats any recognised third-party standard equally rather than pretending to rank them. Titan's advantage is that it publishes the actual numbers; many competitors cite a standard without the figures.
