What to think about first

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.

Consents and safety: England

Planning permission

Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.

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 glazed doors and screens in Dudley: questions

Do you cover Brierley Hill as well as Dudley?

Yes. As well as Dudley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Brierley Hill, Tipton and Kingswinford. 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.

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.
