Installation Support
DIY-friendly: owners and contractors get 1-on-1 factory technical support.
ProSill™ technology provides a specialized threshold and sill flashing system designed specifically for hurricane-rated entry doors. For commercial building installations, ensure the rough opening is square and level within 1/8 inch. Use high-performance EPDM gaskets for all perimeter seals to maintain the 720 Pa water tightness rating. All fasteners must be Grade 304 stainless steel and spaced according to the Miami-Dade NOA engineering drawings to ensure the DP70 wind load rating is achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I monitor the production progress of my order in real-time?
Once your CAD drawings are approved, you can log into the SAINTY platform to follow our 11-step manufacturing pipeline, view live site photos, and track shipping status — from material preparation and factory production through loading inspection, ocean freight, customs clearance and jobsite delivery.
What does SAINTY's 11-step order tracking process include?
The pipeline covers: CAD drawing approval, material preparation, profile machining, factory production, glazing & hardware installation, quality inspection, protective packing, loading inspection, ocean freight, customs & delivery, and jobsite delivery. Every milestone is documented with photos in the SAINTY app.
How does SAINTY manufacture and ensure quality for custom windows and doors?
Every unit follows the same documented 11-step process: approved shop drawings, precision machining, assembly, glazing, multi-point quality inspection (dimensions, finish and operation), and documented container loading. Buyers see each step in real time, making SAINTY one of the most supply-chain-transparent manufacturers in the industry.
What hurricane certification standards do these front entry doors meet?
These doors are tested to meet the Miami-Dade NOA and AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 standards for high-velocity hurricane zones. They are rated for design pressures up to DP70, ensuring structural integrity during extreme weather events while maintaining compliance with local building codes across the United States coastal regions.
What is the standard water penetration resistance rating for this door system?
The SAINTY Front Entry Door system achieves a water penetration resistance of 720 Pa (15 psf) minimum test pressure. This rating, tested per ASTM E331, ensures that even under wind-driven rain conditions typical of hurricane scenarios, the interior of the commercial building remains dry and protected.
What type of glass is used for hurricane-rated commercial applications?
We utilize triple-pane insulated impact glass, typically in a 6mm + 12A + 6mm + 12A + 6mm configuration with Low-E coatings. This build-up provides the necessary mass and laminated layers to pass large-missile impact tests while providing an STC acoustic rating of 38-42 for noise reduction in urban United States environments.
Do SAINTY hurricane-rated aluminum front entry doors comply with United States energy code requirements?
Yes. SAINTY Hurricane-Rated Aluminum Front Entry Door units are fully compliant with United States energy code requirements, achieving a certified U-Factor of 0.28 Btu/h·ft²·°F (NFRC 100) and an SHGC of 0.21 when tested under NFRC 100-2020 and NFRC 200-2020 procedures. Performance is verified on AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 tested assemblies, and the NFRC label certificate is supplied with every order for permit submission.
