About Factory Fit Screens
A Yatala screen business that measures, supplies and installs its own work, and would rather sell you the right screen than the biggest one.
Licence QBCC 15340369. Australian owned and operated.
Overview
Factory Fit Screens is a security screen, fly screen and blinds business based in Yatala, Queensland, owned and run by Andy Lindsay. We measure at your home, have each screen made to measure for the opening by our Australian manufacturer, install it ourselves and stand behind it with a written warranty. We work across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Logan, and we've been doing it since 2007.
How we sell
A lot of people ring us asking for fly screens when what they're picturing is something stronger. Some ring asking for security screens when a fly screen would do. So at the measure we bring the samples, put them side by side and explain the difference in plain English: this one keeps insects out, this one keeps people out, this one does both and costs more. The choice is yours.
Plenty of people look at all three and choose the fly screens. That's fine. We'd rather fit the right thing and have you ring us in ten years for the next house than talk you into a screen you didn't need.
The same goes for upgrades. Triple locks, digital locks, pet mesh, motorised blinds: they're worth having when they solve a problem you actually have, so we show them in context, on the product they belong to, with a straight line on why you'd want one. No pressure either way.
One more straight answer, because the name invites the question: we don't make the screens ourselves. We choose the products we're prepared to put our name to, measure your openings, have each screen made to measure by Australian manufacturers, and install it with our own team. Choosing well is half the job.
Our team
Small team, all in-house. The person who measures your job is the person who knows what fits, and the crew that installs it works for us, not for a subcontractor with a different phone number.
Andy Lindsay
Owner. Started the business, still measures and quotes, still the one who answers the tricky questions.
Sammy
Office and admin. The voice on the phone, the person who books your measure and sends your quote.
Rob
Measures, quotes and installs. Brings the samples.
Brooke
Newest on the team, records our installs for the gallery and socials.
Chris
Installer.
Our Yatala base
We work out of a unit in Yatala, halfway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, which is why we can cover both without charging travel like a city business. We don't make the screens here. We choose the products, measure at your home, have every screen custom-made for your openings by our Australian manufacturer, and install it with our own team. Nothing is cut down from a stock size.
We start early: Mon to Thu 6:30am to 3:00pm · Fri 6:30am to 12:30pm. Address: Unit 4/11 Commerce Cct, Yatala QLD 4207.
We’re a family-run, Australian-owned and operated business.

Community
In 2020 we supplied and installed the security screening for Bella's Sanctuary, a Gold Coast shelter for families leaving domestic and family violence, as part of a project coordinated by DVConnect with more than 90 trades and suppliers pitching in. It's the kind of job where the screens matter more than usual, and we were glad to be asked.
