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.

- Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside

Things to decide before you order
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.
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
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.
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 Wolverhampton: questions
Can you survey in Wolverhampton and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Wolverhampton, Wednesfield and Willenhall 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.
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.
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.
