How much does security glass for doors cost in Shrewsbury?

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

Shropshire combines Shrewsbury's timber-framed and Georgian centre with Telford's modern town centre, business parks and estates, and hill-country towns such as Ludlow and Bridgnorth.
Typical places for security glass for doors:
- Flat entrance doors with vision panels
- Kitchen and utility doors onto the garden
- Back and side doors with a large glazed panel
- Doors with a thumb-turn lock near the glass
Things to decide before you order
Thumb-turns and keys
Laminated glass makes reaching a thumb-turn far harder. Keeping keys away from the door helps too.
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
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.
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.

Security glass for doors in Shrewsbury: questions
Do you cover Wellington as well as Shrewsbury?
Yes. As well as Shrewsbury, we can arrange surveys in nearby Wellington, Telford and Oswestry. Dates depend on installer availability.
Is toughened glass enough for a door?
It meets the safety rule but not the security need, because a broken toughened pane falls out. A laminated pane meets both.
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.
