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

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

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.

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 glass for doors in Reigate: questions

Do you cover Redhill as well as Reigate?

Yes. As well as Reigate, we can arrange surveys in nearby Redhill, Horley and Banstead. 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.
