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
- Multi-point and hook-bolt locking
- Hinge bolts and anti-jemmy features
- Door closers, level thresholds and access control provision
- Heavy aluminium or steel doorsets with side screens
- Doorsets tested by their makers where a standard is specified
- Laminated or anti-bandit glass held by internal beads

Things to decide before you order
Access
Level thresholds, closers with the right opening force and clear widths keep the entrance usable for everyone.
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.
Rules that apply 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.
Planning permission
Under the Scottish planning system the council decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers in a road or footway need consent from the roads authority, which is normally the council.

Security glazed doors and screens in Oban: questions
Can you work in Oban?
Work in Oban is arranged individually because of travel. Send your postcode and details and we will confirm what is possible.
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.
Can you just change the glass in my existing door?
Often, if the frame is sound. Laminated glass and internal beads are a good upgrade. If the frame is light or worn, a new doorset is better value.
What is PAS 24?
PAS 24 is a British test standard for the security of doors and windows. A doorset tested to it has been attacked in a set way in a lab. The test belongs to the manufacturer's product as tested, not to the installer.
