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 goes into security glass for doors

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

Fitting in Enfield and nearby

Surveys in Enfield (EN1) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Edmonton (2 miles), Tottenham (3 miles) and Wood Green (4 miles).

Greater London has every kind of glazing, from Georgian sashes and Victorian bays in conservation areas to high-street shopfronts, office curtain walling and new-build flats.

This glazing suits:

Kitchen and utility doors onto the garden
Flat entrance doors with vision panels
Front doors with glazed side 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 England

England

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.

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Security glass for doors in Enfield: questions

Can you survey in Enfield and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Enfield, Edmonton and Tottenham are booked around 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.

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.
