Does Approved Document Q apply to replacement windows and doors?

No, it only covers new dwellings and any part of a building from which access can be gained to a flat within the building.  However, as existing dwellings are subject to similar levels of risks of manual attack as new dwellings, it would not be surprising to see the scope extended to cover replacement windows and doors in the future.
