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.

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.

Rules that apply in England

England

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.

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.

Security glass for doors in Golborne: questions

Do you cover Newton-le-Willows as well as Golborne?

Yes. As well as Golborne, we can arrange surveys in nearby Newton-le-Willows, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Leigh. 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.

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.
