Eco-Guard Pivot Door Series 1500

Yes. The Series 1500 is a Large Missile Impact (LMI) rated, Miami-Dade-approved aluminum pivot door, so it's a true HVHZ-rated impact unit. It carries Florida Product Approval FL39630. We confirm the exact approval and rating for your jurisdiction at quote so the door is permitted correctly for your opening.

As a single pivot panel the PV-1500 reaches up to 60 by about 110-5/8 inches, and with a transom above it the configuration goes up to 60 by 144 inches, a full 12 feet tall. Both configurations are rated to a design pressure of +60/-60 psf, the wind load the door is built to resist. We measure your opening and confirm the size, configuration, and design pressure your project needs before ordering.

The Series 1500 is offered as an outswing pivot as standard, with an inswing pivot also available, so we can match the swing to your entry and the way the door interacts with the space. The standard glazing is Glass Type A, a 7/16 inch laminated lite using a .090 inch SentryGlas interlayer, which is a stiffer ionoplast layer than standard PVB; for added energy performance you can step up to Glass Type Ai, a 1 inch insulated laminated unit with SentryGlas. We'll help you choose the swing and glass package at quote.

Both are aluminum impact doors in ECO's specialty bi-fold and pivot family, rated to +60/-60 psf, but they solve different openings. The PV-1500 is a single pivoting panel that makes a statement entry up to 12 feet tall with a transom, while the Series 900 bi-fold folds up to 10 panels to open an entire wall to the outside. We spec the pivot for entries and the bi-fold for indoor-outdoor living walls.

We don't quote a flat price because installed cost depends on the panel size, whether you add a transom or sidelites, the glass package, and the condition of the opening. As a specialty statement door with SentryGlas glazing and configurations up to 60 by 144 inches, it's typically a special-order item with a longer lead time. Armor Pro provides a free, no-obligation estimate after measuring your opening.

A bi-fold door is a row of panels hinged together that fold and stack to one or both sides, opening up most of the wall — the indoor-outdoor effect people want on a lanai or pool deck. ECO's Series 900 bi-fold folds up to 10 panels across an opening as wide as about 240 inches. One panel typically acts as a day-to-day swing door so you don't have to fold the whole stack to step outside.

A pivot door rotates on a pivot hinge set into the top and bottom of the frame rather than swinging on side hinges, which allows a large, dramatic single panel — a statement entry. ECO's Series 1500 pivot can be configured outswing or inswing and reaches up to 60 by 144 inches with a transom, with matching sidelites available. It's the choice for a high-impact front entrance where a standard hinged door feels too small.

Yes. ECO's residential aluminum impact lines carry Miami-Dade Notices of Acceptance and Florida Product Approvals, which makes them eligible to install in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (Miami-Dade and Broward counties). The exact wind ratings depend on the specific series, size, and configuration, so we confirm the right product for your opening on the quote. We pull the permit and submit the approval documents as part of every job.
