Glass entrance doors in Kent
Busy entrances need strong gear, and we match the patch fittings, spring and handles to the weight and daily use of your Kent door.
Owners across the South East often want more daylight at the door, so we size the leaf and side panels to suit your Kent entrance. If your Kent shop has a step at the door, we raise access early, since a new door is a good moment to improve it.

How much does it cost in Kent?
Budget £1,295 to £3,495 ex VAT per door set. A glass door is only as secure as what backs it up, so a shutter or grille is worth pricing too for a Kent entrance in the South East. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Kent?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Kent, including Ashford, Canterbury, Chatham, Dartford.
What thickness of glass is used for a shop door?
Most frameless shop doors use 10 mm or 12 mm toughened glass. The choice depends on door size, the fittings and how the door will be used. Laminated toughened glass can be specified where there is a higher risk of attack or accidental breakage.
Do glass doors need a floor spring?
No, but most frameless glass doors use one, because there is no frame to carry a closer. The spring sits hidden in the floor and controls how the door swings and closes. A rail door can use an overhead closer to BS EN 1154 instead.
How do I make a glass door accessible?
Start with clear width, a low threshold and a light opening force. In England, Approved Document M gives a clear width of 775 mm for existing buildings, and a force of 30 N at the door edge for the first 30 degrees. Visible markings and contrasting handles also help.
