Product Overview - VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door
The VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door is built around one idea: the frame should disappear. ViewLux engineered this series with a 2.56-inch profile width that keeps the aluminum sightlines narrow, so more of the opening is glass and less of it is metal. In Boynton Beach, where front entries face strong afternoon sun and salt air, that’s not just an aesthetic choice, it’s a material one. Aluminum doesn’t rot, doesn’t swell with humidity, and doesn’t warp when the temperature swings from a January morning in the 50s to an August afternoon in the 90s.
This is a single entry door, meaning it swings on side hinges rather than sliding or folding. That makes it a direct replacement for a standard front door or a statement entry on a new build. The multi-point locking system engages at several points along the jamb when you lift the handle, so the door seals tight against the weatherstripping and resists forced entry far better than a single deadbolt alone. Buyers in Boynton Beach communities like Canyon Lakes, Quantum Lakes, and the older ranch homes near downtown often pair this door with a sidelight or transom to maximize daylight without giving up the clean, modern frame.
TruePane Windows & Doors recommends the VLX 100 for homeowners who want a contemporary entry that doesn’t look like every other door on the block. It fits mid-century ranches as well as new coastal modern construction. The engineering underneath the slim frame is what makes it durable: a 0.098-inch wall thickness on the aluminum profiles gives the door structural stiffness without the bulk you see on commercial storefronts.
Technical Specifications
The VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door is specified for residential entry applications. Here’s what the series includes, in plain terms:
- Wall thickness: 0.098-inch aluminum extrusion walls, which add rigidity without excess weight.
- Profile width: 2.56 inches, a deliberately narrow frame that keeps sightlines clean.
- Maximum span: Up to 48 inches wide as a single panel, making it suitable for most standard and many widened entry openings.
- Glass options: Clear, frosted, obscure, Low-E, tempered, and laminated. Tempered and laminated can be combined for impact-rated openings.
- Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, and Teak Wood. Finishes are applied to resist UV fading and salt-air corrosion.
- Screen options: Retractable screen or none, depending on how you use the entry.
- Hardware: Multi-point locking system with an integrated handle set (finish matched to frame).
All numbers above come from ViewLux’s published specifications for the VLX 100 series. TruePane Windows & Doors verifies custom dimensions on-site before ordering, so your door arrives built for the actual rough opening, not an estimate.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency - The VLX 100 frame includes a thermal break, a non-conductive barrier that separates the interior and exterior aluminum faces. This is the single most important feature for a metal door in South Florida. Without it, hot outdoor air conducts straight through the frame and heats the inside face. NFRC-rated configurations are available with Low-E glass to meet local energy code requirements in Boynton Beach.
Acoustic Performance - Aluminum frames are naturally dense, and when paired with laminated glass, the VLX 100 cuts noticeably more road and neighbor noise than a hollow steel or fiberglass door. Homeowners on busier Boynton Beach streets like Congress Avenue or Woolbright Road often choose laminated glass specifically for the sound control rating.
Airtightness & Weather Seal - The multi-point lock doesn’t just secure the door, it compresses the perimeter weatherstripping evenly at every latch point. That’s the difference between a door that seals and one that just closes. Airtightness ratings matter here because a leaking front door lets humid outdoor air in, and your AC pays for it.
Waterproofing - ViewLux designs the VLX 100 with integrated drainage paths inside the frame, so any water that gets past the outer seal is channeled out through weep holes rather than pooling inside the track or sill. In Boynton Beach’s wet season, where a sudden storm can dump two inches of rain in an hour, this is not optional.
Wind Resistance - The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements, and the 0.098-inch wall thickness gives the frame the stiffness needed to hold glazing under pressure. With laminated impact glass, the door can be specified for wind-borne debris regions. Your exact requirement depends on your home’s wind zone and exposure, which TruePane Windows & Doors checks during site evaluation.
Security & Hardware - The multi-point locking system engages the top, bottom, and center of the jamb simultaneously. That spreads the load across the full door height instead of one deadbolt point. For a door in Boynton Beach, whether it’s a second home that sits empty part of the year or a primary residence, that’s meaningful peace of mind.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door comes in six finish options, and the right one depends on your home’s exterior palette and sun exposure. Premium Black is the most requested finish in Boynton Beach right now, especially on white or light gray modern homes where the contrast makes the entry read as a design feature. Pure White suits coastal and transitional homes along the Intracoastal corridor. Anodized Silver is the most reflective and stays coolest under direct sun, a practical choice for west-facing entries. Bronze works with earthy stucco tones common in older Boynton Beach subdivisions. Champagne is a softer metallic that pairs well with travertine and warm beige exteriors. Teak Wood is a wood-grain finish on aluminum, giving the look of a timber door without any of the maintenance South Florida humidity forces on real wood.
On the glass side, clear gives you maximum visible light. Frosted and obscure provide privacy while still letting light pass, useful if your entry faces a neighbor or street. Low-E reflects solar heat, so your entry loses less cooling load in summer. Tempered glass shatters into small cubes instead of sharp shards, a code requirement for most door glazing. Laminated glass adds an interlayer that holds the pane together even when broken, and it’s the foundation of an impact-rated assembly.
What Does the VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door Cost in Boynton Beach?
The VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door in Boynton Beach typically runs $2,800 to $5,200 installed, depending on size, glass package, and finish. A standard 36×80 single panel with clear tempered glass and a standard finish sits on the lower end. Adding laminated impact glass, a custom finish like Teak Wood, or widening the opening toward the 48-inch maximum pushes the project toward the upper end. Add a retractable screen and you’re looking at a few hundred more.
| Component | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| VLX 100 door panel (standard size, clear tempered) | $1,600 – $2,100 |
| Laminated impact glass upgrade | $450 – $900 |
| Custom finish (Teak Wood, Champagne) | $150 – $400 |
| Professional installation (AAMA-compliant) | $700 – $1,400 |
| Old door removal and disposal | $100 – $250 |

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Boynton Beach
A door is only as good as its installation. We install the VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door in Boynton Beach, FL according to AAMA 2400 and 2410 standards, which govern the installation of windows and doors in exterior walls. Here’s what that means in practice.
Before we order anything, we visit the home and measure the rough opening in three places, width at top and bottom, height on both sides, and check the subfloor and header for level. We also look at the existing flashing and weather barrier because we’re tying into it, not around it. Boynton Beach homes built before the 2001 Florida Building Code update often have openings that are not square. We account for that in the measurement, not on install day.
On installation day, we set the door level, plumb, and square before the first fastener goes in. Every perimeter joint is sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, which fills gaps without bowing the frame. Flashing and sill pan details follow the door manufacturer’s instructions to the inch, because that’s what keeps the warranty intact. We finish with a water test on the sill and lower corners, inspect the sweep, and run the multi-point lock through a full cycle to confirm smooth engagement. Then we clean up, haul off the old door, and walk you through lock operation and finish care.
Why does this matter in Boynton Beach specifically? Salt air and high humidity accelerate corrosion on aluminum that isn’t properly protected at cuts and fastener penetrations. Wind-driven rain during hurricane season finds every gap in a poorly installed frame. ViewLux’s warranty covers manufacturing defects. It does not cover an installation that leaked because someone used the wrong sealant or skipped the sill pan. Our installation work is warrantied by us, and we install it the way the manufacturer requires.
Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door
Lead time is typically 4 to 6 weeks from final measurement and deposit, depending on the finish and glass package you choose. Custom sizes, Teak Wood finish, and laminated glass add time. We recommend starting the process at least two months before you want the door in. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll give you a current production estimate for your configuration.
It can, when specified with NFRC-rated Low-E glass that meets the required U-factor for your climate zone. Boynton Beach is in a hot climate zone where the credits focus on solar heat gain coefficient and U-factor on the glass package, less on the frame. We’ll tell you during quoting which glass option meets the current IRS and utility rebate thresholds for a Boynton Beach home.
ViewLux provides a manufacturer’s warranty on the VLX 100 profile, finish, and hardware, and TruePane Windows & Doors backs the installation with our own workmanship warranty. The manufacturer’s warranty is conditional on professional installation, which is another reason not to hand this door to a handyman who’s never set an aluminum entry in South Florida.
Yes, within the structural limits of the series. The VLX 100 spans up to 48 inches wide as a single panel. Height can be adjusted for custom rough openings, and the frame can be ordered to accommodate sidelights or transoms if you want a wider daylight opening without moving to a bigger door slab.
Wash the frame and track with mild soap and water every few months, and rinse with fresh water if you’re near the Intracoastal or the beach, since salt film sits on the finish. Check the weatherstripping once a year and wipe the multi-point lock points with a dry lubricant. Don’t use abrasive cleaners or pressure washers on the finish. Call (561) 708-6771 if you notice any drag in the lock or a changed gap at the weatherstripping.
