Impact entry doors.
Storms hit it first. Intruders try it first. Your front door deserves better than luck — get a hurricane-rated entrance that looks like the best house on the block and defends like a vault.
The most attacked opening in your home.
When a hurricane makes landfall, the entry door takes wind pressure and flying debris head-on — and if it fails, the pressure surge inside can lift the roof. The rest of the year, it is the opening burglars test before any window. An impact entry door answers both threats with a single upgrade: laminated glass bonded to a tough interlayer, a reinforced frame anchored deep into the structure, and hardware engineered to hold under load. It is the same construction we build at our family's V&V factory, which means no dealer markup between you and the door.
Style is not the trade-off it used to be. Choose a full-glass door that floods your foyer with light, a half-glass design that balances daylight and privacy, or a solid door with decorative lites for a classic look. Add sidelites, a transom, or both — we engineer the entire entrance as one rated assembly. And because a documented impact entrance counts toward wind-mitigation credits, many homeowners see it reflected in their insurance at renewal.

Series 300 glazed entry doors: what the NOA certifies.
Glazed impact entry doors are built on the V&V Series 300 outswing door system, the same approval that covers our French doors, as a single leaf or with sidelites and a transom. Every opening is checked against these limits at the free measure; where a wall needs more than the guaranteed rating, we specify the upgraded glass and anchoring the approval allows.

Entry door questions, answered.
Plenty. Frosted, rain-textured, gray-tinted and obscure laminated glass all let daylight into your foyer while keeping the view one-way. Every option is still full impact glass — privacy never comes at the cost of protection.
Yes — single or double sidelites, a transom above, or both. We build the door, sidelites and transom as one engineered, hurricane-rated assembly so the whole entrance carries the rating, not just the door slab.
Substantially. Laminated impact glass stays bonded to its interlayer even when struck, so a kick or a pry bar meets a panel that cracks but will not open. Combined with a reinforced frame and multi-point locking hardware, it turns the easiest way into a home into the hardest.
Yes. Our impact entry doors carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and meet the Florida Building Code for high-velocity hurricane zones — door, glass, frame and hardware tested as a complete unit. No shutters, no plywood.
