Custom front doors with glass are highly secure with impact-resistant glazing and steel reinforcement. ProVia doors include 20 gauge security plates that prevent kick-ins and deter burglaries.

Paired with multi-point locking systems and steel-reinforced frames, these doors hold up against forced entry and severe weather alike.

What Homeowners Need to Know:

  • Impact-Shield Glass Protection: Impact-Shield glass stands up to the harshest storms, and it’s a serious deterrent against break-ins too. You get full security without giving up natural light or curb appeal — that’s a win on both fronts.
  • 20 Gauge Security Kick Plates: ProVia entry doors come with super tough 20 gauge steel security plates for added strength. They reinforce the spots intruders target most, and you won’t even notice them on the finished door.
  • Multi-Point Locking Systems: Instead of one single deadbolt, these locks engage at the top, middle, and bottom of the frame simultaneously. Prying or forcing the door open becomes far more difficult with three secure contact points.
  • Steel-Reinforced Frame Construction: A strong frame matters just as much as the door itself. Steel reinforcement prevents warping and separation, keeping tight seals intact even under extreme force or weather.
  • Metal-Reinforced Stiles for Sliding Glass: Sliding glass doors feature metal-reinforced stiles that resist the frame bending you see with standard builds. Two-point locking and toe/thumb bolt locks let you ventilate safely without compromising security.
  • Professional Installation Standards: Even the best hardware falls short without proper installation. Expert fitting guarantees alignment with no gaps — maximizing every lock, plate, and reinforcement feature on your door.
  • Decorative Glass with Built-In Security: Artistic glass patterns meet the same impact-resistant specs as clear glass. You can personalize your entry door and still keep your home fully protected!

Choosing the Right Secure Door for Your Home

  • Top Choice for Maximum Security: Impact-Shield glass with 20 gauge security plates — the strongest combo for preventing kick-ins and burglaries.
  • Best for Sliding Glass Doors: Metal-reinforced stiles with two-point locking systems that let you ventilate without worry.
  • Best for Custom Designs: Decorative glass patterns that deliver impact-resistant protection with a personalized look.
