What is the price of security glass for doors in Folkestone?
Our guide range for security glass for doors in Folkestone is £150 to £510 including VAT (£125 to £425 plus VAT) per door, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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 backing for leaded and bevelled panels
- Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door
- Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside
- Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
- Safety glass suitable for critical locations
- Clear, obscure and decorative designs
Fitting in Folkestone and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Folkestone and across the CT19 postcode district, as well as in nearby Dover (7 miles) and Ashford (13 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Kent ranges from Canterbury's listed city centre and the Regency fronts of Tunbridge Wells to the Medway towns, Ashford's growth estates and coastal Margate and Folkestone.
This glazing suits:
- Kitchen and utility doors onto the garden
- Doors with a thumb-turn lock near the glass
- Front doors with glazed side panels
- Flat entrance doors with vision panels
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.
Keep the design
Most decorative glass can be copied or rebuilt with a laminated backing pane, so the door looks the same.
Building regulations and safety in England
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.
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 Folkestone: questions
Do you cover Dover as well as Folkestone?
Yes. As well as Folkestone, we can arrange surveys in nearby Dover, Ashford and Deal. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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 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.
