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

Composite door cassettes where available
Safety glass suitable for critical locations
Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels
Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside
Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door

Fitting in Blackpool and nearby

Surveys in Blackpool (FY1) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Thornton-Cleveleys (4 miles), Lytham St Annes (6 miles) and Fleetwood (8 miles).

Lancashire pairs Victorian terraces and town-centre retail in Preston and Blackburn with Lancaster's Georgian stone streets and the seafront hotels, shops and arcades of Blackpool.

This glazing suits:

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

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

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.

Security rules for new homes

Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

Security glass for doors in Blackpool: questions

Can you survey in Blackpool and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Blackpool, Thornton-Cleveleys and Lytham St Annes are booked around 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.

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.
