Broward County & West Palm Beach • Condo entry upgrades
More fresh air. A brighter entry. An extra door between you and outside.
DR Impact Co installs LARSON storm doors for suitable inswing condo entry doors in Broward County and West Palm Beach. A storm door adds a separate outer door, giving you options for light, views and screened ventilation while your main entry door opens inward.
$900–$1,500
Typical basic LARSON door installation range · Typical turnaround: 2–3 weeks. These are DR Impact Co planning estimates, subject to the selected door, opening conditions, association approval, product availability and scheduling. Your written proposal confirms the included hardware, work and final price.
Why add a storm door to a condo’s inswing entry?
On a pleasant South Florida day, you may want to open your main door without leaving the entire entry uncovered. A storm door can offer a glass view when closed and screened airflow when its ventilation panel is open. It is an everyday comfort upgrade for an appropriate opening, with the main entry door remaining in place.
- Airflow: enjoy screened ventilation when outdoor conditions are comfortable and your building allows the main door to remain open.
- Natural light and views: a larger glass area can make the entry feel more open while the primary door is open.
- A second closable layer: a properly fitted, latched and locked storm door adds another door at the entrance. It does not guarantee burglary resistance, and its insect screen is not a security barrier.
- Everyday convenience: choose a screen arrangement and handle you find easy to use rather than judging only by appearance.
For an enclosed interior corridor, do not assume opening the entry will provide outdoor fresh air. Tell us whether your condo faces an exterior walkway or an interior hall. Keep required fire-door closing and latching functions intact; a storm door is not permission to prop open a required fire door.
Featured option: LARSON Tradewinds / 80 Split Fullview
The Lowe’s product supplied for this guide is now listed as the LARSON 80 Split Fullview, formerly Tradewinds. The white aluminum model combines a retractable screen with clear tempered glass, reversible handing and a step-to-hold closer. Its QuickFit handle is sold separately in this listing, so the handle selection must be accounted for in your installation proposal.
The listed example has a nominal size of 36 inches wide × 81 inches high; its actual door dimensions are listed as 35.75 × 79.75 inches. A nominal size is not a measuring instruction. DR Impact Co must verify your opening and the manufacturer’s installation requirements before ordering. View the LARSON 80 / Tradewinds example at Lowe’s.
Three storm door designs to compare
Start with how much glass you want and how often you expect to switch to ventilation. These are product examples, not a promise of stock or association acceptance. Illustrations below show general layouts, not exact product renderings.
Flexible ventilation
80 Split Fullview / Tradewinds
Aluminum construction and a retractable screen for switching between a glass view and ventilation. A horizontal division is part of the appearance.
Consider it if: convenient screen access matters more than an uninterrupted glass panel.
Solid lower section
LARSON 30 Midview
The example, formerly Douglas, uses a wood-core construction with a composite surface and retractable screen. The listed model includes a brushed-nickel lever handleset with a keyed lock.
Consider it if: you prefer less glass and a more substantial-looking lower panel.
A larger visual opening
LARSON 60 MT Maximum View
The black aluminum example is listed with an interchangeable screen and reversible hinge configuration. Its handle is not included in the referenced listing.
Consider it if: you favor a broad glass view and are comfortable changing panels instead of using a retractable screen.
Retail listings show individual products. Retail door prices are not DR Impact Co’s installed project price. Exact model, finish, handle, removal work and fitting requirements are confirmed in the quote. A comparison model is not automatically included in the basic $900–$1,500 range.
Will a storm door fit my condo?
An inward-opening primary door is a useful starting point, but it does not establish that a second door will fit. The outer storm door needs room to swing outward and close correctly without interfering with the entry, neighboring doors or circulation space.
| What we review | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Association requirements | Ask your condo association or property manager about permitted styles, colors, hardware and the approval process before purchasing. |
| Opening and mounting surface | The frame and trim must suit the selected door’s installation requirements. Repairs or extra framing can change the scope. |
| Handle and closer clearance | The storm-door hardware must clear the main door’s handle, lock and surrounding trim. |
| Swing and walkway space | Check the outward swing, nearby stairs, shared walkways and neighboring entrances. |
| Existing door requirements | Confirm applicable building requirements and preserve the primary door’s required operation, including any fire-rated assembly. |
What affects the $900–$1,500 installation range?
DR Impact Co’s typical range is intended for a basic LARSON storm door installation. The final proposal depends on the model and size, handle selection, mounting conditions and the work required at your entry. Existing-door removal, damaged trim, unusual openings, additional fitting work or upgraded selections can affect the total. Ask us to confirm exactly what is included.
Our typical turnaround is 2–3 weeks. Confirm the expected date with our team once the measurements, product choice and any necessary association approvals are settled. Special-order products or additional work may require more time.

Frequently asked questions
Is a LARSON storm door hurricane-rated?
The basic storm doors featured in this guide are not offered as hurricane-rated protection. Their purpose is everyday airflow, light, views and an additional closable layer. For hurricane protection, ask about an approved impact-door or shutter solution for your opening.
Does a storm door add security?
A closed, latched and locked storm door adds a second door at the entrance. It should not be treated as a burglar-proof security door. The screen does not provide forced-entry protection, and your main door remains the primary entry barrier.
Can I add one to an inswing condo door?
Possibly. We need to check the mounting surface, hardware clearance, outward swing and building requirements. Association approval may be required. An inswing entry alone does not guarantee suitability.
What is the difference between retractable and interchangeable screens?
A retractable screen rolls away within the door when not in use. An interchangeable design uses panels that you change between glass and screen. Choose the arrangement that fits how you want to use and maintain your entry.
How much does installation cost and how long does it take?
DR Impact Co’s typical basic LARSON installation range is $900–$1,500, with a typical 2–3 week turnaround. Model choice, site conditions, approval timing and availability can change the final price and schedule.
Should I buy the door before contacting you?
Contact us first so we can check the opening, confirm the intended scope and discuss your association’s requirements. A door’s advertised nominal size may not match the installation conditions at your condo.
