AfterVLX 100 Swing / Entry Door in Palm Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
The VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door, manufactured by is a single-panel aluminum entry door built around a slim 2.56-inch frame profile. For Palm Beach homeowners, that narrow sightline means more glass and less metal, which reads as modern, clean, and quietly expensive. As an authorized installation partner for ViewLux in Palm Beach, TruePane Windows & Doors handles the part that determines whether this door actually performs: the install. We order it to your exact dimensions, then set it square, seal it per AAMA standards, and back the workmanship. Call (850) 801-5596 to talk through pricing, lead times, or a free on-site measurement for your entry.
Product Overview - VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door
The VLX 100 is a modern aluminum swing door, a single entry system with a minimalist frame profile and multi-point locking hardware built into the door slab. What that means in plain terms: when you close it, the lock engages at multiple points along the frame, not just at the handle. That’s a real security upgrade over a standard deadbolt-only entry door, and it’s standard equipment on this series, not an add-on.
Architecturally, this door fits homes that lean contemporary or Florida transitional. The 2.56-inch profile is narrow enough to disappear into the wall plane visually, which lets the glass do the work. We’ve installed the VLX 100 in El Cid, Flamingo Park, and newer construction out west toward Wellington. In each case, the door reads as part of the facade, not a frame jutting out from it.
The chassis is extruded aluminum, which holds up in Palm Beach’s salt air unlike steel, which eventually rusts, or wood slabs, which swell and stick in our wet season. The aluminum is thermally broken, meaning the interior and exterior faces are separated by a non-conductive barrier. That’s the single most important engineering detail for a metal door in South Florida: without it, the frame conducts heat directly into your home from a sun-blasted entry. With it, the door has a legitimate energy performance rating.
Buyers tend to choose the VLX 100 for one of three reasons: they’re replacing a dated front door and want a clean modern look, they’re building new and the architect specified an aluminum entry system, or they’re upgrading security without sacrificing curb appeal. If that describes where you are, call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll walk you through glass, finish, and install timing for your Palm Beach property.
Technical Specifications
Here’s the VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door on paper, with the numbers you’d compare against other aluminum entry systems:
- Wall thickness: 0.098 inches. Heavier gauge aluminum means less flex, fewer dents, and a more solid feel when the door closes.
- Profile width: 2.56 inches. This is the visible frame face, kept narrow to maximize glass area and preserve the minimalist aesthetic.
- Maximum span: up to 48 inches wide. That covers most standard single-entry openings in Palm Beach homes without needing a custom structural header.
- Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, and Laminated (impact-rated) glazing.
- Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, and Teak Wood.
- Screen options: Retractable screen available, or no screen for a pure glass look.
- Performance standards: thermal break construction with NFRC-rated energy data, AAMA 2400/2410 installation compliance, AAMA 812 perimeter sealant, and wind-load ratings suitable for Palm Beach County requirements.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency
The VLX 100’s frame carries a full thermal break, so interior and exterior aluminum never touch. That interruption blocks the heat bridge that turns cheap metal doors into radiators. Pair it with Low-E glass and the door assembly earns a real NFRC energy rating, which matters when your Palm Beach entry faces direct morning or afternoon sun.
Acoustic Performance
Multi-point locking pulls the slab tight against the frame seals, which reduces sound gaps. With laminated glass specified, the door cuts down road noise noticeably, which is a quality-of-life upgrade for homes on Olive Avenue, South Dixie, or anywhere with steady traffic past the front door.
Airtightness & Weather Seal
The VLX 100 uses continuous perimeter gasketing, not foam strips that flatten after one summer. Combined with proper installation, the door seals tightly enough to keep conditioned air in and Palm Beach humidity out. We verify that seal with an air test on every install we complete.
Waterproofing
ViewLux designed the sill system to shed water outward, and we install it per AAMA 812 using low-expansion foam sealant on all perimeter joints. That foam fills gaps without pushing the frame out of square as it cures, which is the difference between a door that stays dry for a decade and one that leaks at the first hard equatorial downpour.
Wind Resistance
This is a wind-load rated door system. With impact-rated laminated glass specified, it’s engineered to hold up to the pressures of Palm Beach hurricane season. We recommend laminated glazing for any opening that faces east or southeast, and it’s required by current code for many coastal zones.
Security & Hardware
Multi-point locking engages at three points along the frame with a single throw of the handle. That’s a substantially stronger barrier than a single deadbolt, and it resists prying far better. TruePane sets the strike plates and lock alignment during install so the hardware works as designed, without grinding or partial engagement.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 100 comes in six finish options, all applied to aluminum designed for coastal exposure. Premium Black and Pure White read as crisp modern statements, and each works well on both new construction and renovated mid-century homes across Palm Beach. Anodized Silver is the natural-aluminum look, and it’s the most forgiving when it comes to showing salt film between cleanings. Bronze and Champagne both lean warmer and carry a more traditional Florida-ranch feel, often matching existing bronze hardware or champagne window frames. Teak Wood is a wood-grain finish on aluminum, so you get the visual warmth of a wood entry door without the rot, swelling, or termite risk of actual timber in our climate.
On glass, Clear maximizes natural light. Frosted and Obscure give privacy on entries that face a busy street or a neighbor’s windows, and frosted glass diffuses light rather than blocking it. Low-E is a coating that reflects heat, lowering the solar gain on a sun-facing entry. Tempered is safety glass that breaks into small pieces instead of large shards. Laminated is the impact-rated option, two panes bonded to a plastic interlayer, and that’s what we recommend for wind-code compliance and real storm protection in Palm Beach.
For screens, there’s a retractable option that stows into the frame when you don’t need it, or no screen at all if the door is primarily a statement entry rather than a ventilation point.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
An entry door is only as good as the opening it’s set into, and this is where TruePane’s role matters most. We install the VLX 100 in Palm Beach as an authorized ViewLux partner, which means the manufacturer recognizes our workmanship and stands behind the product warranty when we install it. Improper installation, by contrast, is the number one reason a door warranty gets voided: out-of-square frames, bad sealing, poor anchoring. Those are the failures we’re hired to prevent.
Our process starts with a pre-install inspection. We measure the rough opening, verify the subfloor and header are structurally sound, and check for any existing water damage at the threshold. Palm Beach homes, especially older construction in neighborhoods like Northwood and Grandview Heights, often have settled slabs or slight framing drift. A door ordered to nominal dimensions without accounting for that drift is a door that jams or leaks. We order to the actual Opening, not the blueprint.
On install day, we set the frame level, plumb, and square, shimming at anchor points rather than over-torquing fasteners to force the frame into place. The perimeter gets sealed per AAMA 812 with low-expansion foam on all joints, then we cut back and apply a continuous exterior seal. The sill gets a water test before we call it done. Every install follows AAMA 2400/2410 installation standards, the reference install spec for aluminum windows and doors in residential construction.
Permits are handled as required by Palm Beach County and municipal code. We understand local wind-load requirements and impact-glazing mandates, and we’ll spec the door accordingly. You don’t have to navigate the code path alone.
If you’re replacing an existing entry, plan on a half-day to full day of install, plus final cleanup and a walkthrough of operation and maintenance. Call (850) 801-5596 to schedule the pre-install measurement.
Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door
Lead time for the VLX 100 typically runs 6 to 8 weeks from order confirmation to delivery at our Palm Beach warehouse. Custom glass specs, laminated impact glass, or non-stock finishes can add 1 to 2 weeks. We can give you a current production timeline when we measure your opening. Call (850) 801-5596 for a quote and we’ll include a lead time estimate in writing.
Possibly, depending on the glass package you select and your overall project scope. Entry doors with qualifying energy ratings can be eligible under federal efficiency incentive programs, but eligibility changes year to year. We’ll spec the Low-E and thermal package appropriate for your exposure, and you should confirm current credit terms with your tax preparer. For pricing on a qualifying configuration, call (850) 801-5596.
ViewLux provides the manufacturer’s warranty on the door system itself, covering the aluminum frame, finish, and hardware against defects. TruePane covers installation workmanship separately, which is why our AAMA-standard install matters: if the door is set correctly and sealed right, the product warranty is never challenged. We’ll review both warranty documents before you commit. Call (850) 801-5596 to talk through terms for your Palm Beach project.
Yes, within the system’s engineered limits. The VLX 100 spans up to 48 inches wide, so taller or less common opening dimensions can be ordered to spec as long as they fall inside the wind-load and structural limits for Palm Beach County. We’ll measure your actual opening and order what fits, rather than trimming on site. Schedule a free measurement at (850) 801-5596.
Aluminum needs very little maintenance: wash the frame and glass with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the finish. In coastal Palm Beach, we recommend rinsing salt film off the lower frame and sill every month or two during humid season. Check gaskets and the sweep annually, and lubricate hinge pivots and the multi-point lock mechanism once a year. If anything feels stiff or out of alignment, call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll send someone out.
