Security glass for doors in Comber

What is the price of security glass for doors in Comber?

Budget £150 to £510 including VAT (£125 to £425 plus VAT) per door for security glass for doors in Comber, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.

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.

Fitting in Comber and nearby

Comber is about 8 miles from Bangor, the main centre for County Down. We can survey and fit across the BT23 district and in nearby places such as Newtownards and Holywood.

County Down mixes south Belfast suburbs and Bangor's seafront with Newry's busy shopping centre, Downpatrick's historic streets and coastal towns under the Mournes such as Newcastle.

This glazing suits:

Kitchen and utility doors onto the garden
Back and side doors with a large glazed panel
Front doors with glazed side panels
Flat entrance doors with vision 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 Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland

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 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 Comber: questions

Which areas near Comber do you cover?

We can arrange work in Comber and in nearby Newtownards (4 miles), Holywood (7 miles) and Belfast (8 miles). 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.

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.
