Florida Code and Custom Exterior Doors
Every exterior door on a permitted job in Florida needs a product approval: a Florida Product Approval number, a Miami-Dade NOA, or an engineered local approval. St. Petersburg designs to 145 mph winds and sits in the wind-borne debris region, where glass in a door must be impact-rated or protected by approved shutters. Doors built in our shop are not impact-rated. Whether a solid carved door can be approved for your opening, or needs shutters, is the building official's call, and we check before we quote. Where the opening must carry a rated door, see impact-rated wood front doors.
Hardware for a Heavy Front Door
Brass and bronze hinges
Solid brass and bronze resist salt air; plated hardware pits within a few years near the water.
Multipoint locks
They pull a tall door tight at top, middle and bottom, which improves both security and seal.
How Much Does a Custom Wood Front Door Cost?
