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

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

Fitting in Irvine and nearby

From the KA12 district we also cover Saltcoats (5 miles) and Troon (5 miles). Survey dates depend on installer availability.

Ayrshire mixes the shopping streets of Ayr and Kilmarnock with coastal towns such as Largs, Troon and Irvine that take Firth of Clyde weather, and rural villages inland.

This glazing suits:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

Thumb-turns and keys

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

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.

Building regulations and safety in Scotland

Scotland

Safety glass in critical locations

In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.

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 Irvine: questions

Can you survey in Irvine and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Irvine, Saltcoats and Troon are booked around installer availability.

Can you keep my stained or leaded glass design?

Usually. We add a laminated pane behind the decorative glass inside the sealed unit, or have a matching unit made.

Can you replace glass in a composite door?

Often. Some composite doors take a standard unit; others use the maker's own cassette, which we source where possible.

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.
