Hurricane-rated front doors that look like custom entryways — Signature series designs, decorative glass, and metal scrollwork, built to Florida Building Code and installed by a CGC-licensed Orlando crew.

Your front door takes more abuse than almost any part of your home — Florida sun, wind-driven rain, and, in a hurricane, flying debris. Once a standard door fails and wind gets inside, pressure builds and threatens the roof. Hurricane front doors solve that: laminated impact glass, a reinforced frame, and hardware engineered to stay latched under Florida wind loads.
And you don't trade beauty for protection: our impact entry doors come in the same Signature designs, decorative glass, and metal scrollwork you'd expect from a custom entryway, so one front door replacement upgrades curb appeal and storm protection — permitted and inspected to Florida Building Code.
These are real doors from our line — clean-lined Signature designs, wrought-iron-style metal scrollwork over frosted or clear backing, and double entries with sidelites and transoms. Every configuration is built around laminated impact glass and a reinforced frame: the design changes, the hurricane rating doesn't.

Obscured impact glass lets daylight into your foyer without putting your entry hall on display.
Patterned and textured inserts laminated into the impact unit — decorative and code-rated at once.
Maximum light and visibility with the same bonded interlayer holding the pane together on impact.
White, Bronze, and Clear Anodize frame finishes, plus hardware styles that suit your exterior.
There's no single "best" entry door material — here's the straight comparison we give homeowners at the free measure.
Won't rust, rot, or dent easily, insulates well, and can mimic wood grain convincingly. The most forgiving choice in Florida humidity — usually our recommendation for painted or wood-look entries.
Very strong and typically the most budget-friendly, with a crisp painted finish. The trade-off: it can dent, and scratches need touch-up to prevent corrosion — worth weighing in coastal-adjacent areas.
Heavy-gauge T6 aluminum-alloy frames around laminated impact glass — corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance, and the backbone of the Eco-Guard™ outswing entry line we install. Ideal for modern, glass-forward entries.
Whichever material fits your home, the glass package and frame anchoring are what carry the hurricane rating — and both are covered in your impact door replacement quote, along with the permit and inspection.
For glass-forward entries we install the Eco-Guard™ outswing entry line by Eco Window Systems — the Series 650 Outswing Entrance door, carrying Florida Product Approval for both large- and small-missile impact. Looking for double patio-style doors instead? Those belong to the Eco-Guard™ French door series — see our impact French doors page — and you can learn more about the manufacturer on our Eco Window Systems page.
The hurricane rating is the headline — an impact front door works for you every day, from the multi-point locks to the paperwork your insurer wants to see.
Locking points at the top, middle, and bottom of the door pull it tight into a reinforced frame — far harder to kick in than a single deadbolt.
Laminated glass holds together when struck, so a break-in attempt meets a bonded barrier. To be clear: impact-rated resists debris and forced entry — it is not bulletproof glass.
Insulated slabs and Low-E impact glass block Orlando heat at the entry, easing the load on your AC through the long cooling season.
A new front entry is one of the highest-impact exterior upgrades a buyer sees, with a documented hurricane rating behind the looks.
The laminated interlayer that stops debris also dampens traffic and lawn-crew noise before it reaches your living room.
Your permitted, inspected install comes with the paperwork wind-mitigation inspectors look for — many Orlando homeowners use it to pursue premium credits.
Replacing an exterior door in Orlando requires a permit and inspection — we handle both, so your new door is protected on paper as well as in practice.
We measure your entry, inspect the frame and threshold, and walk you through designs, glass, and materials with a firm written quote.
We pull the City of Orlando or Orange County permit while your door is manufactured to the exact opening — typically a few weeks.
Most single entry doors are installed in a day: old door out, framing corrected if needed, new unit anchored, sealed, and tested.
The install passes code inspection and you receive the documentation your insurer needs for wind-mitigation credits.
Don't wait out another hurricane season behind an old door — qualify in minutes with $0 down.

Florida Building Code requires every exterior door in a new home or door replacement to meet the wind-load rating for its location, and in wind-borne debris regions the opening also needs impact protection — either an impact-rated door or an approved shutter system. Most Orlando homeowners choose the impact door because the protection is permanent, with nothing to bolt on before a storm. We confirm the exact requirement for your address during the free measure and handle the permit either way.
Yes. Frosted and privacy glass, patterned inserts, and metal scrollwork designs are all available as fully impact-rated units — the decorative element is built into or over the laminated glass package, so the whole assembly carries the hurricane rating. The same applies to sidelites and transoms around the door. You don't have to choose between the entry you want guests to see and the protection Florida code expects; you pick the design, and the rating comes with it.
The install itself is fast — most single impact entry doors are removed and replaced in one day, including correcting minor framing issues, sealing, and testing the locks. Double doors or entries with sidelites and transoms can take a bit longer. The longer stretch is before install day: after your free measure, your door is manufactured to the exact opening, which usually takes a few weeks, and we pull the permit during that window so nothing delays the install.
For most Orlando homes we lean fiberglass: it won't rust or rot in Florida humidity, resists dents, insulates well, and takes paint or wood-look finishes beautifully. Steel is strong and usually costs less, but it can dent and needs scratches touched up to prevent corrosion. Aluminum-and-glass units are the low-maintenance pick for modern, glass-forward entries. All three are available impact-rated — we'll give you an honest recommendation for your specific entry at the free measure.
They can. Florida insurers offer wind-mitigation credits when all openings — windows and doors included — are protected by impact-rated products or approved shutters, verified through a wind-mitigation inspection. Replacing a non-rated front door is often the last opening standing between a homeowner and that credit. Your install is permitted and inspected, and we provide the product approval documentation your inspector needs. Savings vary by insurer and policy, so ask your agent what your specific credit would be.
Your entry sets the tone for the whole house — and it's the one opening every visitor, inspector, and storm meets first. Pick the design at your kitchen table with real samples, and let our crew handle the measuring, the permit, and the paperwork behind the rating.
