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 goes into security glass for doors

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

Fitting in Armagh and nearby

Surveys in Armagh (BT61) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Portadown (10 miles), Dungannon (12 miles) and Craigavon (13 miles).

County Armagh centres on Armagh's Georgian city, with the town-centre shops and older terraces of Portadown and Lurgan and rural villages across the orchard county.

This glazing suits:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Building regulations and safety in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland

Safety glass in critical locations

In Northern Ireland, safety glazing is covered by Part V of the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with guidance in Technical Booklet V. It follows a critical-location approach similar to Great Britain, covering glazing in and beside doors and at low level. Laminated or toughened safety glass is the usual answer; building control at the council can confirm the detail.

Fire-rated glass is different

Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested within that system, under Technical Booklet E and, for non-domestic premises, the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it.

Security glass for doors in Armagh: questions

Can you survey in Armagh and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Armagh, Portadown and Dungannon are booked around 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.

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.

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.
