VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door in Los Angeles, CA | Hale Windows Los Angeles
The VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door by ViewLux is a modern aluminum entry door built around one idea: a nearly frameless look with serious structural strength. Homeowners across Los Angeles choose it for the clean sightlines, the multi-point locking system, and the way it holds up to years of sun and smog without warping or fading. Hale Windows Los Angeles installs this door as an authorized ViewLux partner, which means you get the factory product with local measurement, permitting guidance, and installation done right. Call (213) 269-5559 to talk through specs, pricing, and a free on-site estimate.
Product Overview – VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door
The VLX 100 is a single-entry aluminum swing door with a minimalist frame profile that lets the glass do the talking. The frame width is just 2.56 inches, so you see more light and less metal. That matters in Los Angeles, where entry doors often face west into the afternoon sun, and homeowners want a door that reads as modern architecture, not a bulky threshold.
This door is built around a multi-point locking system, which means the lock engages at several points along the frame when you lift the handle, rather than a single deadbolt. It’s a sturdier seal and a tighter close, and it’s one of the features buyers notice immediately when comparing this series against standard swing doors.
The door accommodates panels up to 48 inches wide, which covers most single-entry openings in Los Angeles, from Echo Park bungalows to newer builds in Playa Vista. The thermal break in the aluminum frame is a key engineering detail; it prevents the outside temperature from traveling through the metal into your home, which is exactly what you want during a San Fernando Valley heat wave or a cool morning in Marina del Rey.
Why do buyers pick the VLX 100 over other aluminum swing doors? Three reasons we hear again and again at Hale Windows Los Angeles: the profile is slim without feeling fragile, the hardware feels solid on day one and year ten, and the door is configurable enough to match both contemporary and transitional front elevations. Whether you’re replacing a dated wood door in West Adams or finishing a new build in Silver Lake, this series slots in cleanly.
Technical Specifications
The VLX 100 is engineered for everyday entry use in a city where doors take real abuse: direct sun, coastal salt air, and dense urban living. Here is the spec breakdown.
- Wall thickness: 0.098 inches of extruded aluminum, heavy enough to resist denting from daily use and hard knocks.
- Frame profile width: 2.56 inches, giving the door a slim, gallery-frame appearance.
- Maximum panel span: 48 inches wide, ideal for single-entry applications across most Los Angeles homes.
- Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, Laminated.
- Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, Teak Wood.
- Screen options: Retractable Screen, or None.
- Performance standards: Thermal break technology with NFRC-rated energy performance. Installed per AAMA 2400/2410. Perimeter sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam.
All glass is available in tempered or laminated configurations. Laminated glass is the right call if you want impact resistance with the front door. Tempered glass shatters into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards, a safety standard we recommend for every entry door in a family home.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency
The aluminum frame includes a thermal break that interrupts heat transfer between the outside and inside surfaces. NFRC-rated performance means the door’s energy numbers are tested by an independent lab. In Los Angeles, where August afternoons put direct heat on the front of the house, this is the difference between a door that feels like an oven panel and one that stays neutral to the touch. It also helps keep air-conditioned air where it belongs.
Acoustic Performance
Los Angeles is loud. If your entry faces a busy street in Koreatown or you’re near the 101 in Hollywood, the VLX 100’s sealed frame and optional laminated glass reduce the amount of traffic noise that enters through the front door. Laminated glass includes a sound-dampening interlayer that cuts mid and high frequencies better than standard annealed glass. It won’t make a busy street silent, but it takes the edge off.
Airtightness & Weather Seal
The multi-point locking hardware pulls the door slab tight against the weather stripping at the top, bottom, and both jambs. The result is a consistent, even compression seal around the entire perimeter. That means fewer drafts, less dust, and better overall energy performance. Hale Windows Los Angeles verifies this seal during installation and again during the final walkthrough.
Waterproofing
Every installation by Hale Windows Los Angeles uses AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant on all perimeter joints. This prevents water intrusion at the rough opening, which is the leading cause of door rot, mold, and frame corrosion in homes. Los Angeles might not get much rain, but when it does rain, it’s often sudden and heavy. A properly sealed entry door keeps that water outside.
Wind Resistance
The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements. That matters in Los Angeles. The San Fernando Valley and foothill areas can see serious Santa Ana wind events with gusts that rattle weaker doors and flex frames. This door’s aluminum extrusion and multi-point locking system keep the slab stable in high wind.
Security & Hardware
The multi-point locking system anchors the door at several points along the frame, not just one. That’s a meaningful upgrade over a standard single-cylinder deadbolt. The extruded aluminum frame and 0.098-inch wall thickness are also difficult to kick through. If you want additional peace of mind, laminated glass holds together even when struck hard.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 100 is available in six finishes. Premium Black is the strongest seller in Los Angeles right now, especially on modern and mid-century homes in the Hollywood Hills and Culver City. It frames the glass the way a matte-black window frame photographs well against white stucco. Pure White suits Spanish and Mediterranean Revival homes in Los Feliz, Hancock Park, and parts of the Valley. Anodized Silver has a raw, industrial quality that works for loft-style interiors downtown. Bronze is a warmer dark tone that ages gracefully on traditional homes in Pasadena and South LA. Champagne is subtle and warm-toned, a fit for homes with brass hardware or warm color palettes. Teak Wood is a wood-look finish for homeowners who want the appearance of a stained wood entry door without the maintenance of real wood in Los Angeles sun.
Glass selection changes the character of the door. Clear glass maximizes light and visibility. Frosted glass diffuses light while giving privacy. Obscure glass offers more privacy with a textured surface. Low-E coatings reduce solar heat gain, which is smart for west-facing or south-facing entries. Tempered glass is a safety-rated option that meets building code for doors. Laminated glass is the impact-resistant option, ideal if security or wind-borne debris is a concern. Hale Windows Los Angeles can help you pair the right glass with the right frame for your street, your exposure, and your privacy needs.
Installation by Hale Windows Los Angeles in Los Angeles
An entry door is only as good as the opening it’s set into. The VLX 100 is a high-tolerance aluminum system, which means it will not forgive a sloppy rough opening or a rushed install. Hale Windows Los Angeles installs every ViewLux product using the AAMA 2400/2410 installation standard, which covers proper flashing, anchoring, and sealing. Improper installation can void the manufacturer’s warranty. It’s the single most common reason homeowners end up with door problems two or three years after a bargain installation.
Our process starts with a pre-install inspection. We verify the rough opening dimensions, check the level of the sill, and confirm the existing framing can handle the weight of an aluminum door. If the opening needs adjustment, we correct it before the door ever arrives.
On install day, the slab is set level, plumb, and square. That means the door hangs evenly in the jamb, the reveal gap is consistent, and the multi-point locks engage without binding. The perimeter is sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, which fills the gap between the frame and the rough opening without bowing the frame as it cures. After the door is anchored, we run a water test, check the sweep and weather stripping, and walk through the operation with you before we clean up.
Los Angeles-specific factors come into play: coastal homes in Venice and San Pedro need corrosion-resistant hardware and proper flashing to manage salt air. Hillside homes in Mount Washington and Baldwin Hills get more wind exposure than low-lying areas. And many older Los Angeles homes have settled foundations or out-of-square openings that require extra care. We’ve handled all of it.
Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door
Lead time for the VLX 100 typically runs 4 to 6 weeks from order confirmation, depending on the glass configuration and finish selected. Custom sizes and laminated glass can push that slightly longer. If you need a door replaced on a tighter schedule, call (213) 269-5559 and we’ll check current factory availability. Exact timing is quoted before you commit.
The VLX 100, configured with Low-E glass and the thermal break frame, may qualify for federal energy efficiency tax credits if it meets the current IRS criteria for exterior doors. Qualification depends on the specific glass package and rating. We can provide the NFRC documentation needed for your tax professional. Call (213) 269-5559 and we’ll walk through the energy rating for your configuration.
ViewLux provides a manufacturer’s warranty on the aluminum frame and factory components, and Hale Windows Los Angeles backs our installation with a workmanship warranty. Warranty length varies by component and finish. We provide the full warranty terms in writing with your quote, before you sign anything. Call (213) 269-5559 for the specific terms as they apply to your project.
Yes, within the engineering limits of the frame system. The VLX 100 handles panels up to 48 inches wide, and custom heights can be accommodated in most cases. Very large openings or wide double-door configurations are outside this series’ range. If your opening is unusual, we’ll measure it in person and confirm what is buildable before ordering. Call (213) 269-5559 to schedule a measurement.
Aluminum doors need almost no maintenance. Clean the frame with mild soap and water two or three times a year, especially if you live near the coast in Santa Monica or Playa del Rey where salt residue builds up. Lubricate the multi-point locking mechanism once a year with a light silicone spray. Avoid abrasive cleaners and pressure washers. The finish is factory-applied and will hold up to Los Angeles sun without repainting.
