What to think about first

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.

Security rules for new homes

Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.

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 Highland: questions

Which towns in Highland do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Highland, including Inverness, Aviemore, Dingwall, Fort William and Nairn, and in other towns across the area. Island and remote addresses are arranged individually.

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.

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.
