What you can specify
- Multi-point and hook-bolt locking
- Heavy aluminium or steel doorsets with side screens
- Panic and emergency exit hardware where required
- Laminated or anti-bandit glass held by internal beads

Before the glass is ordered
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.
Glazing rules in Scotland
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 applies in Scotland. Windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates must be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety requires it, and marked so people see them. The duty holder's risk assessment decides where.
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 glazed doors and screens in Kelso: questions
Do you cover Galashiels as well as Kelso?
Yes. As well as Kelso, we can arrange work in nearby Galashiels. Dates depend on 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.
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.
