Secure sliding doors (PAS 24) across Surrey
Before you settle on a door type, it helps to know what secure sliding doors do well and what to check before you order.
Replacing an old slider in Surrey that has its glass beads on the outside? That is a weakness a modern internally glazed door removes.
Whichever door you choose for your Surrey home, pair it with good habits: lock the door, remove the key and keep side gates bolted.
- A doorset tested to PAS 24 has resisted a defined set of timed attacks using hand tools, giving an objective benchmark rather than a claim based on the look of the hardware.
- A multipoint lock throws several hooks or bolts into the frame when the handle is locked, spreading the load so the panel cannot be forced at a single point.
- Anti-lift devices in the head of the frame stop a closed sliding panel being levered up and lifted off its track, which is a classic weakness of older sliders.

Daylight and glass in Surrey
Sun angles matter for big glazed doors. Around Surrey, midday sun reaches about 62° in summer and drops to about 15° in winter. That low winter sun is free heat through south-facing glass; high summer sun is easier to shade with a roof overhang, and solar-control glass helps where there is none.

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 Surrey
Is the price different in Surrey?
No. Guide prices for secure sliding doors are the same across mainland Britain, including Surrey. The fitted price depends on size, system, glass and finish, and any structural work, all fixed in your written quote after survey.
Is laminated glass worth it on a sliding door?
Laminated glass is worth considering on ground-floor doors that are hidden from the street, because it stays in one piece when cracked and slows anyone trying to break through. It also reduces some outside noise and filters most UV light. Toughened glass is still a safety glass but shatters into small pieces when broken.
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.
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.
