What should security glazed doors and screens cost in Aberdeen?
Guide prices for security glazed doors and screens in Aberdeen are £1,495 to £4,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £5,994 inc VAT) per doorset for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before any glass is ordered.
Security glazed doors are complete doorsets, frame, leaf, glass, hinges and locks, built to resist forced entry while still letting people see in and out. They use laminated or anti-bandit glass in heavy aluminium or steel sections, with multi-point locking, and suit shop, office and communal entrances.
Choices you can make
- Hinge bolts and anti-jemmy features
- Door closers, level thresholds and access control provision
- Single, double and sliding configurations
- Multi-point and hook-bolt locking
- Panic and emergency exit hardware where required
- Laminated or anti-bandit glass held by internal beads

Before the glass is ordered
Exit and fire safety
Locking must let people out easily while the building is occupied. We work with your fire risk assessment, and fire doors need fire-rated products.
Access
Level thresholds, closers with the right opening force and clear widths keep the entrance usable for everyone.
Glazing rules in Scotland
Security rules for new homes
Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested within that system, under section 2 of the Building Standards technical handbooks and the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 for non-domestic premises. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it.

Security glazed doors and screens in Aberdeen: questions
Do you cover Stonehaven as well as Aberdeen?
Yes. As well as Aberdeen, we can arrange work in nearby Stonehaven. Dates depend on installer availability.
Are steel doorsets better than aluminium?
Steel is stronger for high-risk doors; aluminium is lighter and suits most shop and office entrances. The glass, locks and fixings matter as much as the frame material.
Do new entrance doors need building regulations approval?
Replacing whole doors is often controlled building work (notifiable in England and Wales; in Scotland and Northern Ireland check with the council's building control), and new entrances may need planning permission. We tell you what applies before ordering.
Can a security door also be a fire exit?
Yes, with the right hardware. Exit doors must open easily from inside while people are present, so we choose locking and panic hardware to suit your fire arrangements.
