New Front Doors
From riding around and looking at other CYVs, it appears that all the front doors come from the same place. We are looking to replace our solid front door on our CYV with one that has glass in it. Where can we find these, and if there is a web site that would be great. Thanks.

I believe Lowe's and Home Depot carry fancy doors.

We used Perry's Entry Point. They cut out a section of your existing door and replace it with glass. Many designs to choose from. Located near Spanish Springs - next to Publix.

Army Guy:
Don't overlook "Entry Point by Perry's Decorative Glass & Custom Door" in La Plaza Grande next to Publix. 352-751-0883. www.EntryPointGlass.com When I built my house four and a half years ago, I expressed a desire for glass in my door. My shopper's aide told me to do that separately, as I'd be able to get what I wanted for about half what it would cost to order it is a part of the whole construction process. In the long run, of course, I've still not done anything with my front door, but I've seen these guys at work and they do a super job. They'll come, take down your existing door, cut a hole in it, put in the glass and away they go! And, I think quite reasonably! A word of caution, though: be sure you can do this in a CYV. There are, I understand, some pretty hard limits of what you can and can't do in the "public" area of a villa community! Good luck! SWR

I have a CYV and did it - and many of my neighbors have as well. Cost was about $500 for a half door and sidelight - installed.
Besides Perry's standard selection they have some custom doors. In our designer we did one of the custom doors - quite a bit more money but it is a beautiful door and sidelight.

Replaced it myself.
We used to have a CYV and one of the first things I did was to put in storm door. Did all the measuring, labor and hung it. Total cost was around
$300 for the door and hardware. Labor was free. Never told anyone I was doing it and never got a hassle from the evil overlords or door police.

Thanks all! We will check out entrypoint.
That does bring up a question, to put up an storm door, all glass, and put glass in the mian front foor, I need to get approval first? You all know I am new at this! Army Guy

Entrypoint said no architectural review needed when they did our glass insert on the front door.
Home depot said they wouldn't install the storm door without the review. I guess that 4 inches between the two doors is the border line! It is an easy process - getting things approved certainly can't hurt. A blank copy of the application form is in the front of The Villages phone book.

Is this entrypoint thing something that Tim the Toolman can coordinate?
We are coming down this weekend to do some things and also meet with him on other things we want him to do. Just trying to get everything done before we move in. Army Guy

I don't have a CYV but I never got a permit to put on the storm door. No one bothered me about it or the many other people that put in storm and screen doors.
