Product Overview - VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door

The VLX 100 is built around one idea: keep the sightlines as thin as possible while still giving you a door that locks tight, seals against weather, and stays square for decades. The frame profile is a slim 2.56 inches, so you get a lot of glass relative to the frame. That’s the look people in Tampa’s newer builds and mid-century remodels are after: a front entry that reads as light and architectural rather than heavy and traditional.

This is a single entry door, not a bi-fold or sliding system. It swings on hinges, and it closes into a multi-point lock that engages at multiple latch points along the frame, not just a single deadbolt. For a front door, that matters. The aluminum body means no rust where coastal air meets the threshold, and no thermal bowing when a west-facing Tampa entry sits in afternoon sun. Buyers choose this series over steel or fiberglass when they want the modern aluminum look and are willing to pay for a thermally broken frame that is engineered, not just styled.

At TruePane Windows & Doors, we have installed this door in South Tampa bungalows, new construction in Westshore, and a growing number of Davis Islands and Hyde Park remodels. The common thread is the same: homeowners want a front door that feels like part of the architecture, not a piece of hardware bolted into an opening.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency - The VLX 100 frame is thermally broken, which means the aluminum on the outside is separated from the aluminum on the inside by a non-conductive barrier. That break is what stops Tampa’s afternoon heat from conducting straight through the door frame into your conditioned air. With Low-E glass selected, the door carries an NFRC-rated energy performance label, which is the number utility programs and rebate paperwork look for.

Acoustic Performance - A 0.098-inch wall thickness with a multi-point lock compression gives you a tighter seal than a standard single-deadbolt door. The frame presses the door leaf against the weatherstripping at multiple points, which cuts the small gaps that let street noise through. For homes near Dale Mabry, Bayshore, or the Selmon Expressway, laminated glass is available and noticeably reduces traffic noise.

Airtightness & Weather Seal - Every VLX 100 we install in Tampa gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant applied to all perimeter joints. That’s a specific standard, and it’s the difference between a door that feels tight on day one and a door that still seals during a July thunderstorm five years later.

Waterproofing - The sill and perimeter sealing protocol we follow is designed to keep wind-driven rain out. Florida rain comes sideways, and a standard caulk bead will not hold. We use the AAMA 812 foam system at every joint and we water-test the opening before we call the job done.

Wind Resistance - The aluminum frame is wind-load rated for Florida climate requirements. When paired with impact-resistant laminated glass, the VLX 100 becomes a legitimate choice for homes in Tampa that need a code-compliant protected opening. That option matters for front entries where you want the modern aluminum look without sacrificing storm protection.

Security & Hardware - The multi-point locking hardware engages at the top, bottom, and center of the frame in one motion. That’s a meaningful step up from a single-point deadbolt, both in resistance to forced entry and in keeping the door leaf sealed evenly against the weatherstripping over years of use.

Color & Glass Options

The six finishes give you room to make the door your own, or to match existing window framing. Premium Black is the highest-volume fin
