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.
What you can specify
- Composite door cassettes where available
- Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels
- Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door
- Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
- Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside

Things to decide before you order
Thumb-turns and keys
Laminated glass makes reaching a thumb-turn far harder. Keeping keys away from the door helps too.
Composite door glass
Some composite doors use a cassette made by the door's maker. We check whether a laminated version is available before quoting.
Rules that apply in 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.
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 Kilmarnock: questions
Do you cover Irvine as well as Kilmarnock?
Yes. As well as Kilmarnock, we can arrange surveys in nearby Irvine, Troon and Saltcoats. Dates depend on 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.
