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 inner pane with toughened outer pane
Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
Safety glass suitable for critical locations
Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside
Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels
Composite door cassettes where available

What to think about first

Thumb-turns and keys

Keep the design

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

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 Shipley: questions

Which areas near Shipley do you cover?

We can arrange work in Shipley and in nearby Bradford (3 miles), Guiseley (4 miles) and Yeadon (4 miles). Dates depend on 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 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.

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.
