A door built for a High Velocity Hurricane Zone

Not judged on an ordinary day.

It is judged on the one day the glass has to hold against wind-borne debris and sustained pressure the rest of the house is never asked to withstand.

The HVHZ Impact Full Lite Hinged door is built around that day: impact glass across both panels, a full composite frame, and structural testing to match.
