Security glass for doors in Esher

What is the price of security glass for doors in Esher?

Budget £150 to £510 including VAT (£125 to £425 plus VAT) per door for security glass for doors in Esher, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.

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

Surrey's commuter towns such as Guildford, Woking and Epsom mix Victorian and inter-war houses with modern glazed offices, while Farnham and Godalming have extensive conservation areas.

This glazing suits:

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

Questions we will ask at the survey

Thumb-turns and keys

Laminated glass makes reaching a thumb-turn far harder. Keeping keys away from the door helps too.

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.

Building regulations and safety 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 Esher: questions

Do you cover Walton-on-Thames as well as Esher?

Yes. As well as Esher, we can arrange surveys in nearby Walton-on-Thames, Hampton and Sunbury-on-Thames. 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.

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.
