They use laminated impact glass and a reinforced frame. ASP Superhome offers custom impact front doors for homes in Miami, Kendall, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Naples, and Fort Myers. This guide explains what&#8217;s included, how the process works, and what to ask before you order.<\/p>\n<h2>What an Impact Front Entry Door Is and Who It&#8217;s For<\/h2>\n<p>An impact front entry door is an entry unit tested to stand up to flying debris. The glass is laminated, meaning two layers of glass are bonded around a tough plastic layer. If the glass breaks, the pieces tend to stay bonded in the frame.<\/p>\n<p>Florida law sets rules for these products. Exterior doors can be approved under statewide approval through Fla. Stat. \u00a7 553.842 or under local product approval through Fla. Stat. \u00a7 553.8425. A product can&#8217;t be advertised or sold as hurricane, windstorm, or impact protection from wind-borne debris from a hurricane or windstorm unless it has approval under this section or \u00a7 553.8425 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0500-0599\/0553\/Sections\/0553.842.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 553.842<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Whether your home must have impact protection depends on its location and local rules.<\/p>\n<p>This door suits three kinds of owners:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Homeowners in coastal or wind-exposed neighborhoods.<\/li>\n<li>Owners replacing a warped, dented, or aging door.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The front door is one of the main openings in a home. Protecting it is a practical step, especially before storm season.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Not sure what your next step is?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk it through with our team &#8212; the first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-call\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+17869339815\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-form\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/aspsuperhome.com\/contact\/\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aspsuperhome.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/hurricane-rated-double-entry-doors-on-residential-porch-with-photo.jpg\" alt=\"Hurricane-rated double entry doors on residential porch with brick flooring.\" style=\"border-radius:8px;width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>What&#8217;s Included in a Custom Impact Entry Door<\/h2>\n<p>A complete impact entry door is a system of parts. Each part affects how the door performs, so review every line of the quote.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Impact-rated frame and glass:<\/strong> Laminated impact glass set in a reinforced frame. Ask about glass thickness and style options.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Locking hardware:<\/strong> Multi-point locks and heavy-duty hinges, with finish and handle choices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weatherstripping:<\/strong> Full perimeter seals that limit air and water getting around the door.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Threshold:<\/strong> A sealed base that keeps water out at the floor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Custom sizing:<\/strong> Single, double, sidelite, or transom configurations matched to your opening.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Salt air is hard on metal parts. Ask whether the frame and hardware are corrosion-resistant before you pick a finish.<\/p>\n<p>Check the rating before you sign. Local product approval under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0500-0599\/0553\/Sections\/0553.8425.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 553.8425<\/a> is shown to the local building official, who reviews and accepts it, and it is valid in that jurisdiction. Ask for that label or the approval documents for the exact unit in your quote.<\/p>\n<p>Approval has limits. A statewide Florida product approval generally stays in effect only while the manufacturer makes no modifications that alter how the product performs and while it still complies with the Florida Building Code edition in force. When a new code edition changes the relevant requirements, the product may need to be re-evaluated before the approval applies. Ask how the approval applies to your specific door.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Process Works, Step by Step<\/h2>\n<p>The process starts with a free, confidential consultation, and there is no obligation to continue after it. Here is what usually follows.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Consultation.<\/strong> Share your opening size, style goals, and any HOA or permit questions. Bring photos of the current door if you have them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Site measurement.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Written quote.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Order and production.<\/strong> Your custom unit is built to your measurements and chosen configuration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Installation.<\/strong> The door is set, sealed, and checked.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Timing depends on custom lead times, permit requirements, and site conditions. Ask questions at each step before work moves forward.<\/p>\n<h2>Impact Entry Doors from ASP Superhome<\/h2>\n<p>ASP Superhome is a complete home solutions company for South Florida.
