What is the price of security glazed doors and screens in Bristol?
Our guide range for security glazed doors and screens in Bristol is £1,495 to £4,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £5,994 inc VAT) per doorset, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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.

Covering Bristol
We can arrange surveys and fitting anywhere in Bristol, including Clifton and Bedminster. Dates depend on installer availability.
Bristol's glazing ranges from Georgian sash windows in Clifton and Kingsdown to Victorian bay fronts in Bedminster and modern glazed offices around Temple Quarter and the harbourside.
This glazing suits:
- Rear and side doors to service yards
- Doors to cash offices and stockrooms
- Shop and showroom entrances
- Communal entrances to blocks of flats
Questions we will ask at the survey
Access
Level thresholds, closers with the right opening force and clear widths keep the entrance usable for everyone.
Tested doorset or upgrade
Where an insurer, landlord or specifier names a standard, a doorset tested to it by its maker is the route. Otherwise a strong commercial doorset with laminated glass is often enough.
Building regulations and safety in England
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.

Security glazed doors and screens in Bristol: questions
Which parts in Bristol do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Bristol, including Clifton, Bedminster, Easton, Fishponds and Southville.
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 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.
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.
