They use laminated or anti-bandit glass in heavy aluminium or steel sections, with multi-point locking, and suit shop, office and communal entrances.

- Multi-point and hook-bolt locking
- Doorsets tested by their makers where a standard is specified

Questions we will ask at the survey
Finish and glass
Powder-coated frames to RAL colours and low-iron glass keep entrances looking good.
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 Scotland
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested within that system, under section 2 of the Building Standards technical handbooks and the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 for non-domestic premises. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it.
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.

Security glazed doors and screens in Dumfries: questions
Can you survey in Dumfries and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Dumfries, Lockerbie and Annan are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
