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
Single, double and sliding configurations
Heavy aluminium or steel doorsets with side screens
Hinge bolts and anti-jemmy features
Panic and emergency exit hardware where required
Doorsets tested by their makers where a standard is specified

Fitting in Truro and nearby

We can arrange security glazed doors and screens across Truro, the main centre for Cornwall, and in nearby towns including Falmouth, Redruth and Newquay.

Cornwall's granite and slate cottages, harbourside shops and holiday lets face salt-laden coastal weather, and towns such as Truro, Falmouth and St Ives have conservation areas in their centres.

Office and reception entrances
Doors to cash offices and stockrooms
Communal entrances to blocks of flats

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Finish and glass

Powder-coated frames to RAL colours and low-iron glass keep entrances looking good.

Building regulations and safety in England

England

Glazing in workplaces

Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.

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 Truro: questions

Which areas near Truro do you cover?

We can arrange work in Truro and in nearby Falmouth (8 miles), Redruth (8 miles) and Newquay (10 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
