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 inner pane with toughened outer pane
Safety glass suitable for critical locations
Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside
Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door
Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
Clear, obscure and decorative designs

Fitting in Tewkesbury and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Tewkesbury and across the GL20 postcode district, as well as in nearby Cheltenham (7 miles) and Gloucester (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Gloucestershire pairs Cheltenham's Regency terraces and shopping promenades with Gloucester's docks and city centre, and Cotswold-stone towns where conservation areas shape window changes.

Common uses:

Flat entrance doors with vision panels
Front doors with glazed side panels
Kitchen and utility doors onto the garden
Doors with a thumb-turn lock near the glass

What to think about first

Composite door glass

Some composite doors use a cassette made by the door's maker. We check whether a laminated version is available before quoting.

Thumb-turns and keys

Laminated glass makes reaching a thumb-turn far harder. Keeping keys away from the door helps too.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Fire-rated glass is different

Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.

Security glass for doors in Tewkesbury: questions

Do you cover Cheltenham as well as Tewkesbury?

Yes. As well as Tewkesbury, we can arrange surveys in nearby Cheltenham, Gloucester and Malvern. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
