Secure sliding doors (PAS 24) across North Yorkshire
These are the points a surveyor will go through with you when you choose secure sliding doors for a home in North Yorkshire:
If your North Yorkshire home has a rear garden reached by a side gate or shared alley, the back door is the one to specify with PAS 24 testing and laminated glass.
Ask your insurer whether a tested door or particular locks are a requirement on your North Yorkshire policy, so the quote can be specified to suit.
- Specifying a tested door when you replace an old slider gives you a clear security standard to compare against, even though Approved Document Q only applies to new homes.
- Internally glazed or secured beads mean the glass cannot be removed from the outside, closing off a route that some older doors left open.
- Laminated glass has a tough interlayer that holds the pane together when struck, so even a cracked panel resists an attempt to break through.

Approvals in England
In England, a replacement sliding door is a controlled fitting under the Building Regulations. In an existing home, a door with more than 60% glazing must reach a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or better (or a Doorset Energy Rating of band C) under Approved Document L, and glass in doors must be safety glazing under Approved Document K. We arrange compliance through a competent person scheme installer or by notifying Building Control, and you receive the certificate.
Questions about secure sliding doors in North Yorkshire
Is the price different in North Yorkshire?
No. Guide prices for secure sliding doors are the same across mainland Britain, including North Yorkshire. The fitted price depends on size, system, glass and finish, and any structural work, all fixed in your written quote after survey.
Are all your sliding doors PAS 24?
Not every door we supply is PAS 24 tested, and we would never claim otherwise. Our aluminium sliding doors are available in systems tested to PAS 24, and your written quote states the exact system and specification. If PAS 24 matters to you, tell us at enquiry and we will specify a tested system and configuration to suit your opening.
What is Secured by Design?
Secured by Design is a police-backed initiative that sets security standards for homes and products, and its requirements for doors build on PAS 24. Products and developments can gain recognition under the scheme. We are not a Secured by Design member company; if a project specifies it, tell us at the start so we can check what the specification requires.
What is PAS 24?
PAS 24 is the UK enhanced security test standard for doorsets, including sliding doors. A door tested to it has been subjected to timed manual attacks with hand tools, mechanical loading of the panels and locks, and tests on how the glass is held. It applies to the complete doorset as tested, not to individual handles or locks on their own.
