Our guide range for security glass for doors in Craigavon is £150 to £510 including VAT (£125 to £425 plus VAT) per door, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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.
Options for security glass for doors in Craigavon
- 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
- Safety glass suitable for critical locations
- Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels
- Composite door cassettes where available

What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: 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.
Security rules for new homes
If you are building a new home in Northern Ireland, ask the council's building control service which security requirements apply. In existing homes nothing obliges you to upgrade glass, but laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and in windows beside them is a common benchmark taken from guidance in Great Britain.

Security glass for doors in Craigavon: questions
Which areas near Craigavon do you cover?
We can arrange work in Craigavon and in nearby Lurgan (2 miles), Portadown (3 miles) and Banbridge (8 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
