Glass entrance doors in Tyne and Wear
Owners across the North East often want more daylight at the door, so we size the leaf and side panels to suit your Tyne and Wear entrance.
Cutting a pocket for a floor spring depends on what is under the floor, so we check your Tyne and Wear premises before quoting. Door changes across the North East can be booked out of hours, which keeps your Tyne and Wear entrance in use during trading time where the job allows.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Tyne and Wear?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Tyne and Wear, including Gateshead, Hebburn, Jarrow, Newcastle upon Tyne.
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.
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.
How do you lock a glass door?
A glass door is usually locked with a patch lock near the floor or a lock in the bottom rail, using a cylinder and key. For stronger protection, we add a shutter or internal grille, because the toughened glass is the weakest point of the door.
