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

Milton Keynes' glass-fronted shopping centre and business districts contrast with Buckinghamshire's older towns, where Aylesbury, Amersham and Marlow keep many period shopfronts.

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

Keep the design

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

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.

Building regulations and safety in England

England

Security rules for new homes

Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Security glass for doors in Gerrards Cross: questions

Can you survey in Gerrards Cross and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Gerrards Cross, Chalfont St Peter and Uxbridge 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.

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.
