Impact Doors installers in Florida

Impact-rated entry doors, sliding glass doors and French doors are tested as complete assemblies (door, frame, glass and hardware). Garage doors are a separate product category but are just as important, since a failed garage door can let wind pressurize the house.

Pros

  • Sliding glass and French doors are often the largest openings in a house; impact-rated doors protect them full-time.
  • Impact entry doors add security and can replace the need for panels over a front door.
  • Can be ordered with matching frames and glass for impact windows.

Things to consider

  • Large sliding doors are among the most expensive individual openings to replace.
  • Doors are tested as a complete assembly; mixing parts or field modifications can void the approval.
  • Garage doors need their own wind-rated or impact-rated product and are often overlooked.

What to ask for in a quote

  • The contractor's license number, so you can confirm it on the DBPR website.
  • The Florida Product Approval number (or Miami-Dade NOA in Miami-Dade and Broward) for every product in the quote.
  • Who pulls the permit and whether permit fees are included.
  • The design pressure rating for each door, including positive and negative pressure.
  • Whether the garage door is included, and if not, whether it is rated for your area.
  • Threshold and water-resistance details for sliding doors facing open water or pools.

Frequently asked questions

Does my garage door count as an opening?

Yes. Wind mitigation inspections consider garage doors, and a failed garage door can let wind pressurize the house. Ask whether yours is rated for wind pressure and impact.

Can I add impact glass to my existing doors?

Generally no. Impact doors are approved as complete systems (frame, panel, glass and hardware). Replacing only the glass will not give you an approved impact door.
