The PV9998A is WinDoor's pivot door, an aluminum entrance that rotates on a vertical axis instead of a side hinge so it can carry taller and wider panels than a conventional swing door. It is LMI impact-certified for HVHZ entrances, which means the oversized statement door still meets Miami-Dade. A pivot is the entrance a custom home uses when the front door is meant to register as architecture.
Armor Pro specs the PV9998A on high-end residential entrances where the door is the focal point of the elevation. For a wide patio opening that should slide or fold rather than pivot, the 8100 slider and BF1199A bi-fold cover those; the PV9998A is the luxury impact pivot for the entrance designed to make an impression.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PV9998A is WinDoor's aluminum pivot door, an entrance that rotates around a vertical axis instead of swinging from a side hinge. That pivot geometry lets it carry taller and wider panels than a conventional hinged door, so it's used as an oversized statement entrance where the front door is meant to read as architecture. Armor Pro specs it on high-end South Florida homes where the entrance is the focal point of the elevation.
Yes. The PV9998A is LMI (Large Missile Impact) certified for HVHZ entrance applications, which means the oversized statement door still meets Miami-Dade requirements with laminated impact glass rather than shutters. It can also be ordered with tempered non-impact glass on limited sizes, but for hurricane-zone openings we specify the impact glazing. We confirm the exact approval and glass for your opening at quote.
The PV9998A pivot leaf goes up to 80 inches wide and 120 inches tall (frame depth is 5 inches, with panel capacity up to 144 inches), and the max unit is rated to +60/-75 psf design pressure. The pivot action is what allows that scale on a single leaf. Because design pressure depends on your wind zone and the glass package, we verify the rating for your specific entrance before ordering.
The PV9998A carries a U-factor of 0.76 with SHGC options ranging from about 0.16 up to 0.49 and VT from 0.02 to 0.51, depending on the glass tint you choose, with a condensation resistance of 37. For South Florida's heat the SHGC matters most, so a low-SHGC tint like the SG (gray) package at 0.17 helps cut solar heat gain through a large glass entrance. Note the frame is non-thermally-broken aluminum, so we'll talk through the glass choice to balance heat control and daylight.
The aluminum frame comes in standard finishes including Bone White, Bermuda Bronze, Southbeach Silver, Velvet Gray, Black, and Clear Anodize, plus Woodgrains. Glass options include laminated impact, laminated insulating impact, and Triton Advanced Laminate on limited sizes, and grids range from 1-inch and 2-inch flat surface-applied bars to a 3-1/2-inch applied midrail or internal grids between the glass. The door uses a Ladder Pull handle with hardware in satin nickel, bronze, or black, plus an electronic thumbturn option on outswing units.
There's no flat price for a pivot entrance because the installed cost depends on the leaf size, the glass package, frame finish and hardware, whether sidelites are included, and the structural prep the opening needs. An oversized pivot also requires precise setting of the pivot hardware and threshold, which factors into the labor. Armor Pro provides a free, no-obligation estimate and will measure the opening to price the PV9998A for your entrance.
Yes. WinDoor's active aluminum impact line carries Florida Product Approval and is rated for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (Miami-Dade and Broward counties), with large-missile impact glass throughout. The exact design pressures depend on the specific product, panel size, and configuration, so we confirm the right rating for each opening on the quote. We pull the permit and submit the approval documents as part of every installation.
We install WinDoor's full luxury aluminum range: the 8100 sliding glass door, BF1199A bi-fold and PV9998A pivot doors, the 9050 thermally broken terrace door, FD9950A French doors, and the GD9995A impact garage door, plus the 9020 picture window, the GW9994G Envista bay window, and the Pass-Through Awning. We also service older WinDoor product still in Florida estates built since 2001, even on series the brand no longer sells. If you're comparing door and window types, our Window and Door Designer and Visualizer lets you see how each looks on your home.
A swing door is hinged and opens in or out — a French door is a glazed door (often in pairs), while an entry door is the main door to the home. The impact versions use laminated glass and reinforced frames and hardware tested to the HVHZ standard, protecting the opening against debris and forced entry.
