Glass and fitting options

Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door
Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside
Composite door cassettes where available
Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
Safety glass suitable for critical locations

Fitting in Fraserburgh

We can arrange security glass for doors anywhere in Fraserburgh (AB43). Dates depend on installer availability.

This area runs from Aberdeen's granite city-centre offices and shops to Aberdeenshire towns such as Inverurie and Peterhead and Elgin in Moray, with hard North Sea weather on the coast.

Common uses:

Doors with a thumb-turn lock near the glass
Front doors with glazed side panels
Back and side doors with a large glazed panel
Kitchen and utility doors onto the garden

What to think about first

Side panels too

Side panels within 300 mm of the door are critical locations as well, and a weak side panel is an easy way in. We usually do both together.

Thumb-turns and keys

Laminated glass makes reaching a thumb-turn far harder. Keeping keys away from the door helps too.

Fire-rated glass is different

Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested within that system, under section 2 of the Building Standards technical handbooks and the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 for non-domestic premises. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it.

Security rules for new homes

Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.

Security glass for doors in Fraserburgh: questions

Do you cover Peterhead as well as Fraserburgh?

Yes. As well as Fraserburgh, we can arrange work in nearby Peterhead. Dates depend on installer availability.

Does door glass have to be safety glass?

Yes. Glass in doors up to 1,500 mm from the floor, and in side panels within 300 mm of the door edge, counts as a critical location and needs safety glass or protection.

Will new door glass affect my door's warranty?

If the door is still under its maker's warranty, check their terms first. We will tell you if the door needs the maker's own glass.

Is toughened glass enough for a door?

It meets the safety rule but not the security need, because a broken toughened pane falls out. A laminated pane meets both.
