Security glass for doors in Guildford

What should security glass for doors cost in Guildford?

Our guide range for security glass for doors in Guildford 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.

Choices you can make

Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels
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
Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
Composite door cassettes where available

Fitting in Guildford and nearby

We can arrange security glass for doors across Guildford, the main centre for Surrey, and in nearby towns including Godalming, Woking and Aldershot.

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.

Good candidates for security glass for doors:

Front doors with glazed side panels
Back and side doors with a large glazed panel
Flat entrance doors with vision panels
Doors with a thumb-turn lock near the glass

Before the glass is ordered

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.

Keep the design

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

Glazing rules in England

England

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.

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 Guildford: questions

Which areas near Guildford do you cover?

We can arrange work in Guildford and in nearby Godalming (4 miles), Woking (6 miles) and Aldershot (8 miles). 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.

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.

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.
