Funny story. The guy who remodeled my house before I bought it installed the front door backwards, so it opened outward. They asked him why he did that and he said because of hurricanes, lol. I've been here six months now and all of a sudden I realized the problem with installing a door this way. The hinges are on the outside! All a person has to do is pop the pins out of the hinges and they can take the door off. Needless to say installing the new door is a priority for me. |

Perry's entry point cut out a portion of our existing door and inserted a decorative half glass. We had to paint the trim to match out door. Just that little change made a huge difference to the look of the house. They also have full inserts.

Since it's under the roof overhang, is it exempt from changes such as this type of setup needing ARC approval? Would it include exterior lighting mounted to the walls near the door also?

Interesting. I wonder if an insurance company could deny your claim if you didn't have a exterior door that is hurricane rated. I also wonder what is considered a hurricane rated door.

Doors that are tested by third party testing labs to ensure impact resistant standards are met.

Many thanks to all who responded to my post. After reading all of them, I decided to buy new from Perry's. They will take my existing door, cut out the panels and install the glass insert. Boom - done.
