VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door in San Antonio, TX | Hale Windows San Antonio
The VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door is a modern aluminum single-entry door built around clean lines, a slim profile, and serious locking hardware. It’s the door homeowners choose when they want a front entrance that feels architectural rather than ornamental. As an authorized ViewLux installation partner, Hale Windows San Antonio supplies and installs this door across San Antonio, TX, Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, and surrounding communities. We handle everything from ordering through final hardware adjustment, and we install to AAMA standards so the manufacturer warranty stays fully intact.

Product Overview – VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door
The VLX 100 is a swing-style single entry door with an aluminum frame engineered for a minimalist look without sacrificing strength. The profile width measures 2.56 inches, which gives the door a narrow, sharp sightline around the glass. The frame wall thickness is 0.098 inches, enough structural mass to keep the door rigid through San Antonio’s summer heat and seasonal storms. Maximum panel span runs up to 48 inches wide, so it works well as a standard front door or a wider single-panel entry on contemporary homes.
The locking system is multi-point, meaning the door secures at multiple locations along the frame edge when you lift the handle, rather than relying on a single deadbolt. That’s a meaningful upgrade for homeowners who want more than basic front-door security. Buyers in San Antonio choose this series for mid-century ranch remodels, new modern builds in Stone Oak, and Hill Country homes where the entrance needs to hold its own against large glass expanses. The aluminum frame resists warping, rot, and termite damage, all of which matter in a climate with high humidity and dry heat cycles. Hale Windows San Antonio has installed ViewLux products in homes from Helotes to Terrell Hills, and the VLX 100 consistently draws attention for how quietly it closes and how solid the lock engagement feels.

Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency. The VLX 100 frame carries a thermal break between the inner and outer aluminum extrusions, which stops heat from conducting straight through the metal. Pair it with Low-E glass and you get an NFRC-rated energy performance package suited to San Antonio’s long cooling season.
Acoustic Performance. Laminated glass is available for homeowners who want to cut down street noise. In San Antonio neighborhoods near Loop 410, I-10, or busy school corridors, a laminated lite in a VLX 100 makes a noticeable difference in interior quiet.
Airtightness & Weather Seal. Every perimeter joint gets sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, a standard that prevents air leaks at the rough opening. The door’s weatherstripping and threshold work together to stop drafts, dust, and the fine Hill Country pollen that blows through San Antonio in spring.
Waterproofing. The sill and frame design direct water away from the interior, and the installation method keeps the rough opening dry. During our final check, we run a water test on exterior seams to confirm no moisture path exists before we call the job complete.
Wind Resistance. The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements. That matters in San Antonio, where spring and fall storm fronts can bring hard gusts. The 0.098-inch wall thickness and rigid aluminum frame keep the panel stable when winds push against it.
Security & Hardware. Multi-point locking anchors the door at several points along the frame, not just at the deadbolt. The hardware is built into the door’s design, so you get a clean European-style look with real security behind it. For added protection, impact-resistant laminated glass is an available upgrade.
Color & Glass Options
Six finishes are available for the VLX 100 frame. Premium Black and Pure White are the two most popular choices in San Antonio right now. Black reads modern and sharp against limestone or white brick. Pure White suits Spanish Colonial and traditional homes where the entry should blend with bright exteriors. Anodized Silver offers a brushed metal look that fits mid-century and minimalist facades. Bronze and Champagne lean warmer, pairing well with earth-toned exteriors common in San Antonio’s older neighborhoods like Monte Vista or King William. Teak Wood is a wood-grain finish on aluminum, giving you a warm entry appearance without the maintenance of real timber.
Glass selection changes both function and privacy. Clear glass maximizes natural light and visibility. Frosted glass diffuses light while obscuring detail. Obscure glass, with its textured patterns, offers true privacy for front doors close to the street. Low-E glass adds a microscopically thin coating that reflects heat, a smart choice for a west-facing entry in San Antonio. Tempered glass meets safety glazing code for doors. Laminated glass combines two panes with an interlayer for impact resistance and noise reduction.
Installation by Hale Windows San Antonio in San Antonio
We install the VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door across San Antonio, TX, and we do it the same way on every job. The process starts with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. We verify the king studs, header, and sill are in workable condition before the door is ordered. When the door arrives, we set the frame level, plumb, and square using shims at the anchor points. A door that’s installed out of square will bind, drag, and eventually fail at the hinges or lock points, so we take our time here.
After setting the frame, we apply AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant to the full perimeter joint. This is the standard that keeps air, water, and insects out of the gap between the frame and the rough opening. We follow AAMA 2400/2410 installation guidelines throughout, which covers fastening, flashing, and sealing of exterior doors. Once the door is hung and the multi-point lock is adjusted, we run a final water test on the exterior seams and walk you through operation and maintenance.
Why does any of this matter to a San Antonio homeowner? Improper installation voids the manufacturer warranty on the VLX 100. A door that leaks around the frame will damage subflooring and drywall before you ever see the stain. And during San Antonio’s summer monsoon season, a poorly sealed entry door becomes the first place water finds a way in. Professional installation is the difference between a door that performs for decades and one that fails in five years. Hale Windows San Antonio is the authorized ViewLux installation partner serving San Antonio and the surrounding area.
