Fitting in Houghton-le-Spring and nearby
Houghton-le-Spring is about 11 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne, the main centre for Tyne and Wear. We can survey and fit across the DH4 district and in nearby places such as Chester-le-Street and Washington.

- Doors to cash offices and stockrooms

Questions we will ask at the survey
Access
Level thresholds, closers with the right opening force and clear widths keep the entrance usable for everyone.
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 England
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 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 Houghton-le-Spring: questions
Which areas near Houghton-le-Spring do you cover?
We can arrange work in Houghton-le-Spring and in nearby Chester-le-Street (5 miles), Washington (5 miles) and Seaham (5 miles). 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.
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.
