Impact Front Doors in Florida
What makes an impact front door different?
A impact front door is a fully tested opening. The door, frame, glass, hardware, anchors and install method all work in unison. Laminated impact glass can keep broken pieces in place. But the glass alone is not an approved entry system. We carry front door models from ECO Window Systems and MR Glass with installation available upon request.
A proportion that fits
Start with the entry path, landing and facade before choosing single or double.
Light with the privacy you want
Choose clear, gray, Low-E or frosted options when that choice is offered for the model.
Hardware that suits the door
Confirm the hinge side, lock preparation, finish and complete configuration together.

Impact front doors buying guide
Use this guide to plan the entrance and compare full door specs. It also lists what we need for a South Florida quote.
IN THIS GUIDE
Plan around the entrance
You use your front door everyday so start with how you approach your front door. Check the landing, steps, porch, furniture & clear space on either side. Select one door, double doors, sidelites or a transom. Think about the foyer, and how light comes in the foyer.
The direction of the swing is key too. An inswing and an outswing are not using the same space or threshold or water management detail. Approved configuration is assumed to be irreversible. Confirm delivery, sill/threshold, landing, and local install requirements for the address.
Compare the complete model
The collection includes ECO NOVO 675, MR Glass 3000 and ECO 600. Click on the product pages to view the options displayed for each model. Frosted, gray, low-e and clear options vary from product to product. Keep your model name listed with glass, privacy and frame color.
Hurricane Impact Door Call for current Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA for quoted size and configuration. Look at the design pressure, written as +70/-75 psf. The first number is the wind on the door. The second is the wind blowing it away. Before ordering, check the record with product approval documents.
Prepare the project scope
Florida’s wind-borne debris rules cover impact protection for glazed openings. Code refers to the large-missile provision within 30 feet of grade. The test uses a 9-pound 2×4 moving at 50 feet per second. That’s about 34 mph. Miami-Dade and Broward are High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, however, the right product still depends on the address, opening and approved installation.
Get one written scope that lists all of it. That means model, size, layout, swing, glass, privacy, frame finish, hardware and approval history. Do not combine product, delivery, removal, installation, finishing, permit and inspection items until confirmed. Talk about the work that the door installation planning guide explains.
Your front-door shortlist
- Landing, steps and clear swing space
- Single, double, sidelite or transom arrangement
- Model, glass, privacy, frame and hardware
- Approval record, measurements and written scope
Check these details before ordering
01 / Size and configuration
Confirm the opening measurements, swing direction, single or double layout and any sidelites or transom with the project team. Do not order from approximate measurements alone.
02 / Glass and frame finish
Review the glass color, privacy choice, frame color, hardware and any pattern shown for the selected model. Ask for the complete door specification in writing.
03 / Approval documents
Match the manufacturer, model, size, configuration and swing to the current Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA. Note both positive and negative design pressure where listed.
04 / Supply and installation
Ask whether the quote covers the door only or also delivery, removal, installation, finishing, permit and inspection work. Keep the agreed scope in writing.

Impact front doors FAQs
What makes an impact front door different from a standard entry door?
It is a tested door assembly, not just a pane of strong glass. The door, frame, glazing or panel, hardware, anchors and installation method must match the approval for the quoted configuration.
Are hurricane impact doors required everywhere in Florida?
The answer depends on the address, opening and code path. Miami-Dade and Broward are the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and Florida’s wind-borne debris rules set impact-protection requirements for glazed openings. Ask the local building official or project team about the exact opening.
How do I verify a front door's Florida approval?
Ask for the current Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA. Then match the maker, model, size, layout, swing and design pressure to that document. A brand name or impact-glass label is not enough.
Can I choose a single or double impact entry door?
The current collection includes models with single and double options, but the choices vary. The ECO NOVO 675 and ECO 600 pages show layout choices. The MR Glass page lists its own size and layout fields. Check the product page and written quote together.
What glass and privacy choices are available?
Current product pages show clear, gray or Low-E options and clear or frosted privacy on some models. Options change by product and size. Pick glass and privacy from the model you chose, since every door has its own list.
Do front impact doors swing in or out?
Both swing directions can exist, but they do not use the same space or approval. Check the landing, steps, threshold, water management and handing, then confirm the exact approved configuration before ordering.
What affects the cost of an impact entry door?
Price changes with model, size, single or double layout, glass, privacy, frame, hardware and other options. Installation, removal, finishing, delivery, permit and inspection scope can also change the project total. Use the door cost guide and request a quote for installed pricing.
What should I send before requesting a quote?
Send photos from both sides of the entrance, rough measurements and the swing direction. Tell us the layout you want and any worries about steps, the landing, privacy or light. The final order needs confirmed measurements and a written scope.
