I can't think of any screen material that would be strong enough for someone who wants to break it. Metal screen is somewhat solid but a knife will probably still cut through it.

You could maybe use rebar mesh and then regular screen (for the bugs). Though if they cut through it they can probably just reach the handle through the grid.

Get an alarm system if you are worried and make sure your insurance covers break and enter. You may even save on your insurance by having the alarm system.

Security screen doors don't use window screening...they use either ligbtweight expanded metal mesh, or perforated steel.

I was thinking an advantage of a security door would be convenience, auto lock. But now it's seeming like it's not it'd need the same locking as the door, reducing the benefit.
