Product Overview - VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door

The VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door is built for the homeowner who wants a modern aluminum entry without the bulky framing that older metal doors carry. The key word here is minimal. The frame is slim enough that the glass does the talking, but the engineering underneath hasn’t been sacrificed in the name of style. This is a swinging single-entry door, not a sliding panel, and it’s designed to hinge like a traditional front door while looking like something from a contemporary build in Parkland or a remodeled ranch in Coral Springs.

What separates the VLX 100 from lesser aluminum doors is the multi-point locking system. Instead of a single latch at the center, the door engages the frame at multiple points along its height. That’s meaningful for both security and weather sealing. When the door pulls tight at three or four contact points instead of one, you get a better seal against humidity and a sturdier feel when someone leans on it. In a climate like South Florida’s, where afternoon storms and muggy air are daily realities nine months of the year, that seal matters.

Buyers in Coral Springs gravitate toward this series because it fits a specific architectural niche. If your home has clean lines, flat stucco, or a mid-century or contemporary lean, the VLX 100 reads as intentional. It doesn’t fight the house. It complements it. And because TruePane Windows & Doors installs these units directly – we’re not a third-party subcontractor guessing at the product – the seam between the door and your wall stays clean. That’s where a lot of entry door projects fall apart, and it’s where we do our best work.

Technical Specifications

Here’s what the VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door brings to your project, in plain terms rather than manufacturer shorthand. We’re listing the specs we reference in the field every day in Coral Springs.

• Wall thickness: 0.098-inch aluminum. That’s a structural wall, not a cosmetic skin. It holds its shape through years of sun and use.
• Profile width: 2.56 inches. Slim enough to keep the frame from dominating your entry, wide enough to carry the hardware and seals properly.
• Maximum span: Up to 48 inches wide for the door slab. Most standard single entries in Coral Springs fall between 32 and 36 inches, so there’s room to go wider if your opening allows.
• Glass options: Clear, frosted, obscure, Low-E, tempered, and laminated. Each changes the light, privacy, and safety profile of the door.
• Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, and Teak Wood. Six ways to anchor the front of your home.
• Screen options: A retractable screen is available, or you can run the door without one if you’d rather keep the sightline completely open.

These specs hold up in a humid, hot climate. The aluminum won’t rot like wood or rust like cheap steel. It’s a material that makes sense for Coconut Creek, Margate, Tamarac, and everywhere else around Coral Springs where the afternoon rain hits hard and the sun hammers everything it touches.

Performance Features

The VLX 100 isn’t just a pretty frame. Here’s how it performs in the ways that matter most to a Coral Springs homeowner.

Thermal Efficiency – The VLX 100 uses thermal break technology inside the aluminum frame. Aluminum conducts heat aggressively without it. With the break, the inside of your door stays closer to your indoor temperature instead of baking to 120 degrees in the afternoon sun. NFRC-rated performance means you can compare this door against any other product on actual data, not marketing claims. In Coral Springs, where AC bills run year-round, that’s real money.

Acoustic Performance – The multi-point locking system pulls the slab tight against the frame gaskets, which closes the small gaps that let noise in. If you live off Sample Road, Wiles Road, or near the Sawgrass Expressway, you know traffic noise carries. A properly sealed swing door with laminated glass cuts that down noticeably. We can talk through glass choices to match your noise situation.

Airtightness & Weather Seal – Every VLX 100 installation by TruePane Windows & Doors includes AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant on all perimeter joints. That’s the standard for aluminum door installation in this region. What it means for you: the area around the door frame won’t leak air. Your AC doesn’t have to fight outside air creeping in around the edges. It’s one of those things you won’t see, but you’ll feel it on your electric bill.

Waterproofing – South Florida gets sideways rain. The waterproofing on this door relies on proper flashing, perimeter sealing, and sill integration. We install per AAMA 2400/2410 standards, which exist specifically to prevent water intrusion in aluminum fenestration products. A door that leaks is a rotten subfloor and mold waiting to happen. We don’t skip steps.

Wind Resistance – The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for South Florida requirements. Building code here isn’t a suggestion. Impact-resistant laminated glass is an option if you want the extra layer of protection during hurricane season. We can guide you on whether your specific home and exposure call for it.

Security & Hardware – The multi-point lock on the VLX 100 engages at several points along the frame height. Compared to a standard single deadbolt, that’s a meaningful upgrade in resistance to forced entry. The aluminum frame itself is strong. The hardware carries known brand names. And the door is installed so that the locking points actually align – which only happens when the door is set level and plumb. That’s our responsibility, and we take it seriously.

Color & Glass Options

Six finishes are available on the VLX 100, and they cover a wide design range. Premium Black is currently the most requested color in Coral Springs for modern and contemporary homes. It creates a crisp contrast against light stucco and reads as deliberate. Pure White works for clean coastal looks and homes with white trim or white exterior detailing. Anodized Silver is the pick for mid-century or industrial-leaning homes. Bronze runs warm and muted, pairing well with earth-toned exteriors and older Florida ranch styles. Champagne is unexpected and elevates a front entry without feeling flashy. Teak Wood gives you a wood look without the maintenance routine real wood demands in South Florida’s humidity.

The glass you choose changes the door’s function. Clear glass maximizes light. Frosted and obscure options give you privacy while still letting that light through – popular for single-entry doors where a direct sightline into the home isn’t desirable. Low-E glass reflects heat and cuts UV exposure, which matters when your front door faces west and catches the Coral Springs afternoon sun. Tempered glass is the safety standard for door glass, and laminated glass adds impact resistance. You can combine options, such as Low-E laminated or frosted tempered, to match your priorities.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Coral Springs

Here’s the thing about entry doors: the product is only as good as the installation. We’ve replaced doors in Coral Springs that were installed by other companies, and we’ve seen what happens when a door gets set out of square. The multi-point locks don’t engage. The gaskets don’t seal. The door binds or sags within a year. The manufacturer won’t cover that under warranty, because the failure is in the installation, not the product. That’s why our installation process runs the way it does.

We start with a pre-install inspection of the opening. We check the condition of the rough framing, the subfloor, and the surrounding stucco or siding. Any rot or damage gets addressed before the door goes in. Then we set the door level, plumb, and square – three things, measured with tools, not eyeballed. We shim where needed and anchor the frame securely. The perimeter gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant on every joint. Flashing and sill integration follow AAMA 2400/2410 standards, which is the installation standard these aluminum products are rated for. After the door is hung and the hardware is set, we run a water test and check the swing, the locks, and the gasket contact. Then we clean up. Your driveway won’t look like a construction zone when we leave.

Coral Springs-specific considerations matter here. Our building codes require wind-load compliance on exterior openings. Our humidity punishes poor perimeter sealing. Our afternoon storms test waterproofing every week in the summer. We account for all of that because we install in this city every month. We know the homes, we know the code inspections, and we know how a swing door needs to perform in this specific climate.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door

What is the lead time for the VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door?

Lead times for the VLX 100 typically run four to six weeks from order to delivery at our Coral Springs shop. Exact timing depends on the finish and glass combination you choose. Call (727) 261-2215 and we’ll give you a current lead time before you commit.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits?

Whether your specific VLX 100 build qualifies depends on the glass package and the NFRC performance data for your configuration. Low-E glass options generally push the units into qualifying territory. We can pull the exact ratings for your chosen configuration and tell you where you stand.

What warranty comes with the Swing / Entry Door?

The VLX 100 carries the manufacturer’s warranty from ViewLux, and our installation workmanship is backed by TruePane Windows & Doors as the authorized installer. The key detail: the manufacturer warranty assumes correct installation. If a non-authorized installer sets the door wrong, the warranty doesn’t help you. With us, it does.

Can I customize the size of the VLX 100?

Yes, within the product’s span limits. The VLX 100 handles slab widths up to 48 inches. If your rough opening is non-standard, we measure it precisely and order the door to fit – no oversized frame hacking, no trim tricks.

How do I maintain aluminum frames in Coral Springs?

Aluminum is low-maintenance compared to wood or steel. Wipe the frame down with mild soap and water a few times a year, keep the track and weatherstripping free of debris, and inspect the perimeter seal annually. Salt air and hard rain won’t corrode the frame, but the hardware benefits from occasional lubrication. If anything ever feels off with the swing or the locks, call us – it’s often a quick adjustment.
