Frequently Asked Questions
The Lifestyle Hinged Door is Pella's clad-wood mid-tier in-swing patio door, available as a hinged French (double-panel) door or as a single in-swing door, dual-glazed for residential patio openings. The in-swing design swings inward, which suits patios where you do not want the panels swinging out into a deck or walkway. We install it on South Florida residential projects, in the standard or impact configuration depending on the opening.
Yes. The Lifestyle Hinged Door is offered in a separate Impact-Resistant configuration listed under Florida Product Approval FL10346.R12, alongside the standard listing FL16246.R7, and it carries a Large Missile Impact (LMI) rating in that form. It is for projects that require impact glazing outside the Miami-Dade and Broward HVHZ jurisdictions. We confirm which version and approval match your project at quote.
Each panel of the Lifestyle Hinged Door reaches up to 95.5 inches tall and up to about 37.875 inches wide, so a French (two-panel) configuration spans roughly 6 feet of opening with full-height glass. We size the door to your rough opening and confirm the panel dimensions and swing direction when we measure.
The Lifestyle Hinged Door is listed across design pressures from +50/-50 psf up to +55/-70 psf depending on the configuration and approval. Because the design pressure your opening must meet depends on its size and wind exposure, we confirm the required rating at quote and order the configuration that satisfies it for your jurisdiction.
No. Even the impact-resistant version of the Lifestyle Hinged Door is listed for non-HVHZ Florida projects, so it is not approved for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone covering Miami-Dade and Broward counties. If your home is in the HVHZ and you need an impact patio door, we can point you to an HVHZ-approved door line we install.
Installed price depends on whether you choose the French or single in-swing layout, the standard or impact-resistant configuration, the size, the finish, and any prep the opening needs, so there is no flat rate. The impact version typically costs more than the standard non-impact one. Contact Armor Pro for a free, no-obligation estimate and we will measure and quote your patio door opening.
No. Lifestyle is Florida Product Approval listed for non-HVHZ residential and light-commercial work, but it does not carry the Miami-Dade NOA required inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. For a Miami-Dade or Broward project we move to HurricaneShield (vinyl) or Reserve Impact (clad-wood). Lifestyle is the right Pella line for inland and non-HVHZ addresses across most of the rest of the state.
Mostly not. Lifestyle is a non-impact clad-wood line, with one narrow exception: the Double-Hung is offered in a separate Impact-Resistant configuration (FL #20349) for projects outside the HVHZ that need impact glazing. Every other style in the line is standard non-impact glass. If your project needs impact protection across the board, we'd usually spec a true impact line rather than rely on the single Lifestyle impact option.
Pella Corporation is a family-owned national manufacturer headquartered in Pella, Iowa, founded in 1925 and now spanning more than 20 plants across the country. For the Florida hurricane market the important detail is that Pella's impact lines, HurricaneShield and Defender, are built in Ocala, Florida by Pella's CWS subsidiary, so the storm products are made in-state rather than shipped in. We install and service Pella across South Florida and handle the order, permit, and installation regardless of which plant a given product comes from.
