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.

Choices you can make

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

Getting the right glass for your building

Keep the design

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

Thumb-turns and keys

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

What the rules say in Wales

Wales

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Welsh Government guidance says building regulations have applied to replacement glazing since 1 April 2002, which covers replacing windows and doors. Swapping only the glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass, and the council's building control team can confirm anything unclear.

Safety glass in critical locations

In Wales, safety glazing is covered by Approved Document N (glazing) under the Welsh Building Regulations rather than Approved Document K. Glass in doors up to 1,500 mm above the floor, in panes within 300 mm of a door up to 1,500 mm, and in other glazing below 800 mm should be safety glass or protected. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual choices.

Security glass for doors in Chepstow: questions

Which areas near Chepstow do you cover?

We can arrange work in Chepstow and in nearby Monmouth (12 miles), Newport (14 miles) and Cwmbran (15 miles). 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 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.
