- Integral blind units replaced like for like where possible
- Roller, carriage and hinge adjustment after fitting
- Glass lifters and enough installers for heavy panes

Integral blinds
Units with blinds inside the glass can be made with a laminated pane, but lead times are longer.
Solar control
South-facing doors can overheat. Adding solar control glass at the same time keeps rooms cooler.
Glazing rules 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.
Planning permission
Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.
