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

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

Fitting in Nottingham and nearby

We can arrange security glass for doors across Nottingham, the main centre for Nottinghamshire, and in nearby towns including West Bridgford, Arnold and Hucknall.

Nottinghamshire mixes Nottingham's Lace Market warehouses and city-centre shops with Victorian terraces, post-war estates around Mansfield and Worksop, and Georgian Newark and Southwell.

Typical places for security glass for doors:

Front doors with glazed side panels
Kitchen and utility doors onto the garden
Flat entrance doors with vision panels
Doors with a thumb-turn lock near the glass

Things to decide before you order

Keep the design

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

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

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.

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 Nottingham: questions

Which areas near Nottingham do you cover?

We can arrange work in Nottingham and in nearby West Bridgford (2 miles), Arnold (3 miles) and Hucknall (6 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.

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.
