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 you can specify
- 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
- Clear, obscure and decorative designs
- Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door
- Safety glass suitable for critical locations

Things to decide before you order
Thumb-turns and keys
Laminated glass makes reaching a thumb-turn far harder. Keeping keys away from the door helps too.
Keep the design
Most decorative glass can be copied or rebuilt with a laminated backing pane, so the door looks the same.
Rules that apply in Scotland
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.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.

Security glass for doors in Lockerbie: questions
Do you cover Annan as well as Lockerbie?
Yes. As well as Lockerbie, we can arrange work in nearby Annan. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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 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.
