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

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.

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 glazed doors and screens in Peterlee: questions

Which areas near Peterlee do you cover?

We can arrange work in Peterlee and in nearby Seaham (5 miles), Hartlepool (7 miles) and Houghton-le-Spring (8 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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 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.
