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.

- Single, double and sliding configurations

Access
Level thresholds, closers with the right opening force and clear widths keep the entrance usable for everyone.
What the rules say 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.
Security rules for new homes
Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

Security glazed doors and screens in Newquay: questions
Can you survey in Newquay and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Newquay, Truro and St Austell are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
