Security glass for doors replaces the glazed panel in a front, back or side door with laminated safety glass, usually in a sealed unit with a toughened outer pane. It stops the common trick of breaking the glass to reach in and turn a key or thumb-turn left in the lock.

Glass and fitting options

Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door
Clear, obscure and decorative designs
Safety glass suitable for critical locations
Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels
Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside
Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors

Fitting in Stonehaven and nearby

From the AB39 district we also cover Aberdeen (13 miles) and Montrose (20 miles). Survey 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:

Front doors with glazed side panels
Back and side doors with a large glazed panel
Doors with a thumb-turn lock near the glass
Flat entrance doors with vision panels

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.

Keep the design

Most decorative glass can be copied or rebuilt with a laminated backing pane, so the door looks the same.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.

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 glass for doors in Stonehaven: questions

Can you survey in Stonehaven and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Stonehaven, Aberdeen and Montrose are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
