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

Finish and glass

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

Glazing rules in England

England

Fire-rated glass is different

Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.

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 Gravesend: questions

Can you survey in Gravesend and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Gravesend, Grays and Strood 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.

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.
