What “hurricane-proof” should mean when you shop
People often search for hurricane-proof doors. The precise specification is an impact-rated system with documented performance limits. No door should be represented as invulnerable to every storm. We review the proposed model and configuration rather than treating all exterior doors as impact-rated.
Bring the project requirements into the conversation
Provide the property location, opening dimensions, single or double-door layout, sidelights or glazing, and available plans. Where a design professional has specified pressures or other performance criteria, include those documents with your inquiry.
- Exact model and approved configuration
- Applicable Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade documentation
- Dimensions, glazing, hardware and anchoring details
- Permit and inspection requirements for the actual project
Quote the complete scope
The price depends on the door, quantity, opening preparation and installation requirements. We offer a free measurement visit and carry the licensing and insurance needed for our exterior door work. The selected rated system and any approvals are confirmed before ordering.
A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Before you begin.
Are all exterior doors hurricane-impact rated?
No. Impact resistance must be verified for the selected product and configuration. Do not infer it from the door material, thickness or appearance.
Does two-week delivery include permits and installation?
Production and delivery can be two weeks for eligible made-to-order doors. The exact impact system schedule, permit process and installation date are confirmed separately for your project.
Is the on-site measurement free?
Yes. TrueFrames offers a free on-site measurement visit in our South Florida service area. Share your city and project details so we can arrange the visit.
