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.
Glass and fitting options
- Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside
- Composite door cassettes where available
- Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
- Safety glass suitable for critical locations
- Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels
- Clear, obscure and decorative designs
Fitting in Gorseinon and nearby
From the SA4 district we also cover Llanelli (5 miles) and Swansea (5 miles). Survey dates depend on installer availability.
West Glamorgan centres on Swansea's city centre, SA1 waterfront offices and Victorian terraces, with the town centres of Neath and Port Talbot and Gower villages to the west.
This glazing suits:
- Back and side doors with a large glazed panel
- Front doors with glazed side panels
- Doors with a thumb-turn lock near the glass
- 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.
Keep the design
Most decorative glass can be copied or rebuilt with a laminated backing pane, so the door looks the same.
Building regulations and safety in Wales
Security rules for new homes
Wales introduced its own Approved Document Q for new homes, in force from 1 November 2018, and it applies to newly erected dwellings only. It follows a similar approach to England's, with PAS 24 referenced for easily accessible doors and windows and laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and nearby windows. It does not apply to changing the glass in an existing home.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Welsh Government guidance says building regulations have applied to replacement glazing since 1 April 2002, which covers replacing windows and doors. Swapping only the glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass, and the council's building control team can confirm anything unclear.

Security glass for doors in Gorseinon: questions
Can you survey in Gorseinon and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Gorseinon, Llanelli and Swansea are booked around 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.
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.
