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

Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels
Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
Clear, obscure and decorative designs
Composite door cassettes where available
Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
Safety glass suitable for critical locations

Fitting in Paisley and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Paisley and across the PA1 postcode district, as well as in nearby Renfrew (3 miles) and Clydebank (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Glasgow's sandstone tenements, Victorian city-centre office blocks and Merchant City shopfronts sit alongside Paisley, Greenock and the commuter towns of Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire.

This glazing suits:

Front doors with glazed side panels
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.

Keep the design

Most decorative glass can be copied or rebuilt with a laminated backing pane, so the door looks the same.

Building regulations and safety in Scotland

Scotland

Safety glass in critical locations

In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.

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 Paisley: questions

Do you cover Renfrew as well as Paisley?

Yes. As well as Paisley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Renfrew, Clydebank and Newton Mearns. Dates depend on 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.

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.

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.
