Hurricane Impact Pivot Doors

Hurricane-Impact Pivot Doors — Florida-Approved Custom Mahogany

Portasui hurricane-impact pivot doors are engineered for the toughest coastal environments. Each door uses a single-point pivot mechanism, reinforced solid Honduran mahogany slab construction (with marine-grade plywood core in qualifying assemblies), and a custom multi-point locking system. Pivot panels in this catalog can exceed 500 lbs, and every one is built to the structural and architectural specifications of the project — sized, finished, and detailed individually rather than pulled from a stock line. Every model in this category is approved for use in the Florida High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) under Florida Product Approval FL#28370.

Glass options include impact-rated insulated laminated glass for sidelites and transoms (note: the hurricane pivot panel itself is solid wood per the approval — impact glass is configured in sidelights and transoms surrounding the door). Hardware is fully customizable — see our custom door hardware catalog for hinges, pulls, multi-point locks, and finish options.
