Security glazed doors and screens in Bangor

What should security glazed doors and screens cost in Bangor?

Budget £1,495 to £4,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £5,994 inc VAT) per doorset for security glazed doors and screens in Bangor, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.

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.

What you can specify

Panic and emergency exit hardware where required
Single, double and sliding configurations
Hinge bolts and anti-jemmy features
Multi-point and hook-bolt locking
Doorsets tested by their makers where a standard is specified
Laminated or anti-bandit glass held by internal beads

Fitting in Bangor and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting across Bangor and the BT20 postcode district, and in nearby Newtownards (5 miles), Carrickfergus (7 miles) and Holywood.

County Down mixes south Belfast suburbs and Bangor's seafront with Newry's busy shopping centre, Downpatrick's historic streets and coastal towns under the Mournes such as Newcastle.

Good candidates for security glazed doors and screens:

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

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.

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.

Glazing rules in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland

Planning permission

Planning in Northern Ireland is handled by the eleven councils, which decide whether a new or altered shopfront needs permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers on a public footway need consent from the Department for Infrastructure's roads service.

Security rules for new homes

If you are building a new home in Northern Ireland, ask the council's building control service which security requirements apply. In existing homes nothing obliges you to upgrade glass, but laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and in windows beside them is a common benchmark taken from guidance in Great Britain.

Security glazed doors and screens in Bangor: questions

Do you cover Newtownards as well as Bangor?

Yes. As well as Bangor, we can arrange surveys in nearby Newtownards, Carrickfergus and Holywood. Dates depend on 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.
