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
- Composite door cassettes where available
- Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
- Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Clear, obscure and decorative designs
- Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels
- Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door

Questions we will ask at the survey
Keep the design
Most decorative glass can be copied or rebuilt with a laminated backing pane, so the door looks the same.
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.
Building regulations and safety in England
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.
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 East Grinstead: questions
Can you survey in East Grinstead and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in East Grinstead, Horley and Crawley are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
