AfterEntry Doors in Palm Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
An entry door in Palm Beach carries a heavier workload than almost anywhere else in the country. It has to look sharp under a coastal sun that punishes wood, hold its alignment through humid summers and salt air, and stand up to hurricane season without forcing you to bolt on shutters every June. TruePane Windows & Doors installs Therma-Tru fiberglass and steel entry door systems across Palm Beach, FL, and we size every opening, match every finish, and set every frame to HVHZ standards. If you’re pricing a new front door, call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll give you a straight, line-item quote.
Product Overview - Entry Doors
Our Entry Doors are Therma-Tru fiberglass and steel systems, built to carry an impact rating without giving up curb appeal. The fiberglass line is what most Palm Beach homeowners gravitate toward. It imitates wood grain closely enough that guests won’t know the difference, but it won’t warp, swell, or rot the way even well-sealed wood does after a few summers of Florida humidity. The steel line gives you a heavier, more rigid leaf and works well on mid-century homes in neighborhoods like Sunshine Park or College Park, where clean lines matter more than wood texture.
You can order these doors factory-finished or paint-grade. Factory finishes arrive cured and color-fast. Paint-grade arrives primed and ready for a custom color, which is the route most designers in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens take when they want a specific shade matched to shutters or trim. We can walk you through both without markup games, and we’ll tell you honestly which option holds up better on your exposure.

Hurricane & Compliance Performance
Laminated Impact Glass. Impact-rated glass inserts use a PVB interlayer that holds the glass in the frame when something hits it. The outer pane may crack, but the panel stays intact, so the envelope of the home stays protected during the storm. You don’t get that with standard tempered glass.
Miami-Dade NOA / FL Product Approval. Each configuration carries NOA and Florida Product Approval numbers. These are issued per configuration, not per product family, so we verify the exact number against your specific door, glass package, and size on your quote before anything gets ordered.
FBC / HVHZ Compliance. These doors are engineered to the Florida Building Code High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. That matters in Palm Beach because the entire county sits inside the HVHZ boundary. A door sold in Jacksonville doesn’t necessarily pass here.
TAS 201 / 202 / 203 Testing Context. HVHZ-rated products are tested under the TAS protocol family. TAS 201 covers large-missile impact, TAS 202 covers cyclic wind-pressure loading, and TAS 203 covers forced-entry resistance. This is the testing framework behind the approval numbers, and it’s what Palm Beach building officials look for on submittals.
Design Pressure for Your Wind Zone. We size design pressure to your actual wind zone, up to +/-100, and we don’t spec higher than the location requires. Over-spec’d doors cost more without adding meaningful protection. Under-spec’d doors fail review. We get it right the first time because we pull permits in Palm Beach County weekly.
Energy Performance. Low-E and insulated glass inserts are available when the door has a lite. Palm Beach homes with east or west exposure benefit the most. Solid panel doors don’t need a glazing upgrade, but they do get properly sealed perimeter treatments at installation, which is where most air leakage actually happens.
Color & Glass Options
Finish choices come down to the architecture you’re working with. White and black are the most common requests in Palm Beach. White reads clean and bright against stucco, which is everywhere in neighborhoods like El Cid and Flamingo Park. Black works on modern and transitional homes, where a strong entry line anchors the facade. Bronze is the underrated option: it adds warmth without the upkeep of a stained wood door, and it holds its color well even under direct afternoon sun.
For the glass, solid panel doors give you the most privacy and the lowest maintenance. Decorative impact glass inserts add character and still meet the impact requirement, so you’re not choosing between style and protection. Low-E insulated inserts make the most sense on doors with full or large lites where you want daylight but not heat gain. A north-facing door in Palm Beach can get away with standard decorative impact glass. A west-facing door benefits visibly from Low-E.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
An impact-rated door is only as good as the frame it’s set into. We see it on nearly every inspection call: a perfectly good NOA-rated door installed with gaps at the sill, shims that shifted, or no perimeter seal. That’s why our installation crew in Palm Beach follows a set sequence on every entry door job, and why we don’t shortcut any of it.
We start with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. In older Palm Beach homes, the rough opening has often moved since the original frame was set. We check for racking, rot at the sill, and whether the existing header is doing its job. If the opening isn’t right, the new door won’t be right. Next, we set the frame level, plumb, and square. Torque on the anchor points is checked as we go. Then we apply AAMA 812 low-expansion foam around the perimeter. This gives you a continuous seal against air and water without bowing the jamb, which high-expansion foam will do every time. Flashing and sealant details follow AAMA 2400/2410 installation practice.
Before finish trim goes on, we run a water test at the sill and head. This catches installation errors before they become rot problems. Finally, the door gets adjusted for a clean, even reveal on all sides, lockset and deadbolt are set, and the site is cleaned. We also handle the permit paperwork. Palm Beach building officials want the NOA number, the design pressure, and the product approval listed on the submittal. We prepare that for you. Improper installation voids the system’s approval, and a voided approval means a failed inspection, a delayed closing, or an insurance dispute after the first storm. Professional installation matters more than most people realize.
Frequently Asked Questions - Entry Doors
Design pressures are matched to your specific wind zone in Palm Beach, up to +/-100, never higher. We confirm the required rating from your address and specify the door to that number. Your quote will list the exact design pressure and the corresponding approval documentation. Call (850) 801-5596 and we can pull your wind zone while you’re on the phone.
Typical lead times run several weeks from order confirmation to delivery in Palm Beach, depending on the configuration and whether the door is factory-finished or paint-grade. Custom sizes and decorative glass inserts add time. We’ll give you a realistic window on your quote and keep you posted as the order moves. If your project has a hard deadline, tell us up front so we can weigh stock options against custom.
Yes, in nearly every Palm Beach municipality a permit submittal for an entry door includes the NOA or Florida Product Approval number for the exact configuration you’re installing. We prepare the paperwork as part of the installation and have experience with Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Lake Worth Beach, and the county building department. Same-day quotes include the documentation path you’ll need.
Most configurations are available up to 48 inches wide, and many can be ordered in custom sizes within that range. Glass, finish, hinge swing, and hardware prep are all selectable. If you have a non-standard opening in an older Palm Beach home, we’ll measure the rough opening first and then spec the door to fit rather than trying to make a stock size work with a bad install. Call (850) 801-5596 to schedule a free measurement.
Fiberglass and steel frames need very little. Wash the frame with mild soap and water a few times a year, keep the weep holes clear, and reapply a UV-rated protectant on paint-grade doors every couple of years. In Palm Beach, salt air is more aggressive than dirt, so a rinse after storms helps keep the finish from dulling. Service calls for stuck or sagging doors in our area are almost always installation issues, not material failures.
