The SE 3550 is the entrance door in PGT's commercial storefront system, the swinging counterpart to the SS 3500 and SS 3520 storefront windows it shares a frame language with. It runs three-point locking on a 5-inch frame and carries a 90 psf positive, 120 psf negative design-pressure rating with LMI impact certification, so a mid-rise lobby or ground-floor commercial entrance gets a Florida-approved, foot-traffic-rated door that visually matches the glazing around it.
Armor Pro specs the SE 3550 where a light-commercial envelope needs its entrance and its storefront windows to read as one system under a single PGT approval, rather than pairing a residential door with commercial glazing.

Frequently Asked Questions
The SE 3550 is PGT's aluminum impact storefront entrance door, the swinging counterpart to the SS 3500 and SS 3520 storefront windows it shares a frame language with. It's built for light-commercial and mid-rise envelopes, so a ground-floor lobby, office, hotel, school, or retail entrance gets a foot-traffic-rated door that visually matches the glazing around it. Armor Pro specs the SE 3550 when an entrance and its surrounding storefront need to read as one PGT system under a single approval rather than pairing a residential door with commercial glass.
Yes, the SE 3550 carries LMI (Large Missile Impact) certification and is HVHZ-approved under Florida Product Approval FL331.R27, so it's cleared for High-Velocity Hurricane Zone openings in Miami-Dade and Broward. That means the laminated impact glass and three-point locking are tested to resist wind-borne debris during a hurricane. We'll confirm the exact approved configuration and design pressure for your opening at quote.
The SE 3550 is offered as a single (X) door up to 51.5 by 120 inches and a double (XX) up to 99.5 by 120 inches, both on a 5-inch aluminum frame depth. Every configuration is rated to 90 psf positive and 120 psf negative design pressure with LMI impact certification. We'll size the single or double leaf to your opening and verify the rating holds for that location when we quote.
The SE 3550 uses a 9/16-inch laminated or 1-3/16-inch laminated insulated glass makeup and holds a U-factor of 1.07 across packages. SHGC runs from about 0.22 with a tinted SC Solargray or Graylite II buildup up to 0.42 on clear glass, with visible transmittance up to 0.45 and a condensation resistance of 16. For South Florida sun we'll usually point you toward a lower-SHGC tint like Solargray or Solarbronze to cut heat gain while keeping a coordinated look with the SS 3500/SS 3520 windows.
The SE 3550 comes in standard Black, Bronze, Clear Anodized, and White frame finishes, with custom colors available to match the building. Standard hardware is PGT's three-point locking system, and you can specify concealed-rod panic devices or push-pull handles depending on how the entrance is used. We'll coordinate the finish and grid choice with the surrounding SS 3500 or SS 3520 storefront so the entrance and glazing match.
There's no flat price because installed cost depends on whether it's a single or double leaf, the overall size up to 99.5 by 120 inches, the glass package and tint, the finish, the hardware (standard three-point lock versus panic devices or push-pull handles), and the condition of the existing opening. Armor Pro gives a free, no-obligation estimate; we'll measure the entrance, coordinate it with any SS 3500 or SS 3520 storefront in the same wall, and price the SE 3550 for your project.
PGT Commercial is an aluminum impact storefront system, not a residential window line. It's a coordinated set — two storefront windows (the SS 3500 and the slimmer-sightline SS 3520 SLIMFRONT) and a matching SE 3550 entrance door — all on a shared 1.75 by 5 inch aluminum frame. It's sized for the first- and second-floor envelopes of mid-rise condos, hotels, schools, and offices, so a building's lower-floor glazing and doors come from one Florida-approved assembly under one warranty.
Storefront is a heavier, fixed-glazed aluminum framing system built for the larger spans and foot-traffic doors of commercial ground floors, where a residential operable window would run out of span or rating. The PGT Commercial windows are fixed (non-operable) and the SE 3550 is a pedestrian entrance door, all designed to meet at the mullion for a continuous-sightline elevation. We use this system for light-commercial work rather than houses.
PGT has built impact windows and doors in Venice, Florida since 1980 and is the largest impact-window and -door manufacturer in the country. It was the first company to develop impact-resistant products that met Miami-Dade County's hurricane code after Hurricane Andrew, and the line is engineered specifically for Florida conditions. PGT is now part of the MITER Brands family, alongside WinDoor, ECO, and NewSouth, but the products are still made in Florida under the PGT name.
