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

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.

Choices you can make

Composite door cassettes where available
Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door
Clear, obscure and decorative designs
Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside
Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels

Dumfries and Galloway is rural, with Dumfries and Stranraer as the main towns, sandstone market towns such as Castle Douglas and Kirkcudbright, and coastal properties along the Solway.

This glazing suits:

Doors with a thumb-turn lock near the glass
Front doors with glazed side panels
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 Scotland

Scotland

Fire-rated glass is different

Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested within that system, under section 2 of the Building Standards technical handbooks and the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 for non-domestic premises. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for 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 Annan: questions

Do you cover Lockerbie as well as Annan?

Yes. As well as Annan, we can arrange work in nearby Lockerbie. 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.

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.
