VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door in West Covina, CA | Hale Windows West Covina
The VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door is a paired aluminum door system built for wide openings where light, symmetry, and durability matter. Hale Windows West Covina installs this ViewLux-manufactured door throughout West Covina, from newer builds near the Heights to mid-century homes south of the 10. It’s a favorite for patios, dining-room exits, and anywhere a single swing door feels too narrow. As an authorized ViewLux installation partner, we handle everything from measurement to final cleanup in one contract, one team, one warranty path. If you’re planning around an opening that needs to stay elegant but also seal tight against heat and wind, call us at (707) 506-0502 for a free on-site measurement.
Product Overview – VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door
The VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door brings French door proportions into a slimmer aluminum profile. The series is defined by paired panels with symmetrical sightlines, so the horizontal and vertical frame members mirror each other across both panels. That symmetry reads clean from inside and out, and it’s the detail designers in West Covina tend to notice first when we show the sample.
What sets it apart from older aluminum designs is the engineering around the threshold and the lock. The threshold is flush, meaning there’s no raised track or lip to step over. For older homeowners, that’s a genuine safety improvement. For anyone moving furniture or a walker between rooms, it’s less of a trip and more of a glide. The lock is a multi-point system: when you lift the handle or turn the key, bolts engage at the top, bottom, and middle of the active panel. The passive panel locks into the header and sill independently.
We recommend this door for homeowners who want the look of a classic French door but don’t want the flex, warping, or sagging that can come with vinyl or wood over decades of West Covina sun. Aluminum holds its line. The frame is 2.56 inches wide, which is narrow enough to feel architectural, not bulky. And because the wall thickness is 0.098 inches, the extrusions have real torsional stiffness. Doors stay square. Hinges stay aligned. The weather seals keep doing their job year after year.
Technical Specifications
The VLX 100 is built on a 2.56 inch profile width with 0.098 inch wall thickness. Each door opening can span up to 96 inches wide as a paired unit, which covers most double door openings in West Covina without adding a center post. Glass thickness and type depend on the package you choose, but the frame is designed to carry laminated glass when impact resistance is a priority.

Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency. The VLX 100 uses a thermal break inside the extrusion, separating the exterior and interior aluminum faces. That break slows conductive heat transfer, and the result is an NFRC-rated frame that keeps West Covina summer heat from migrating straight through the metal. Pair it with Low-E glass and the difference is measurable in both comfort and cooling cost.
Acoustic Performance. Aluminum doors are not naturally quiet. The VLX 100 counters that with tight seals, a rigid frame, and the option of laminated glass, which damps mid-and-high frequency noise noticeably. On busy streets in West Covina, laminated glass is the upgrade we suggest first.
Airtightness and Weather Seal. The door compresses against full-perimeter weatherstripping when closed. Combined with the multi-point lock pulling the panel tight at three points, air infiltration stays low even in windy conditions. That seal performance is part of what makes the AAMA 2400/2410 installation standard meaningful: the best door still leaks if it’s not set square and sealed correctly.
Waterproofing. The flush threshold has an integrated drainage path that directs water away from the interior floor. During installation, our crew applies low-expansion AAMA 812 foam sealant along every perimeter joint before interior trim goes on. That foam does double duty: it seals and insulates without distorting the frame.
Wind Resistance. The 0.098 inch wall thickness and reinforced corners give the VLX 100 real resistance to deflection under wind load. For West Covina, this matters less for hurricanes and more for Santa Ana wind events that push dust and pressure against every gap. A door that deflects opens gaps. The VLX 100 is engineered not to.
Security and Hardware. The multi-point lock is the headline. Three engagement points along the active panel, plus independent flush bolts on the passive panel, make forced entry substantially harder than a single deadbolt. Ask us about laminated glass if security is a priority, it holds together under impact instead of shattering.
Color and Glass Options
The VLX 100 comes in six finishes. Premium Black and Pure White handle the two most common modern palettes in West Covina: black frames on light stucco, or white frames for traditional ranch and Spanish-style homes. Anodized Silver has a metallic, industrial feel that suits contemporary interiors. Bronze and Champagne lean warmer and pair well with travertine floors or exposed wood beams. Teak Wood is a woodgrain finish that gives the aluminum frame the visual warmth of timber without the maintenance, a quiet compromise that photographs well and reads natural from six feet away.
On glass, clear is the default for maximum light. Frosted and obscure glass are for privacy, ideal for a door that faces a neighbor’s window or a side yard. Low-E is the energy pick, especially for east and west-facing openings that catch direct sun. Tempered is a safety choice, required in certain locations by code. Laminated is the impact and sound option. We can mix glass types across a single unit if privacy on one panel and clear views on the other suits your layout.
Installation by Hale Windows West Covina in West Covina
An aluminum French door is a precision product. A 96 inch wide unit that is out of level by even a quarter inch will bind at the top, gap at the bottom, and wear its hinges early. That’s the mechanical reality. Which is why Hale Windows West Covina treats installation as half the product.
Our process starts with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. We check the framing for square, level and plumb. If the opening is off, we correct it before the door goes in rather than forcing the frame to conform. The door is set shimmed, then anchored. We verify level on the sill, plumb on both jambs, and square on both diagonals before sealing anything.
Once the frame is set, the perimeter gets a continuous AAMA 812 foam sealant bead. That low-expansion foam seals the gap between the aluminum frame and the rough opening, blocking air and water without bowing the extrusion. We work to AAMA 2400/2410 installation standards, which means the same procedure every time: proper flashing, correct anchor pattern, verified drainage path.
After trim goes on, we run a water test at the sill and jamb intersections. If water finds a path, we find it first. The job ends with a cleanup and a walkthrough of the hardware, the locking sequence, and the screen if you added one. There’s a reason improper installation voids a manufacturer’s warranty. This product is only as good as the hands that set it. Ours are the same crew on every Hale Windows West Covina job, not subcontractors learning the product on your opening.
Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door
Typical lead time for a custom-sized VLX 100 is four to six weeks from final measurement to delivery at our West Covina warehouse. Custom finishes or laminated glass can add a week or two. We schedule installation once the unit is physically in hand, not before. Call (707) 506-0502 and we’ll give you a current production window for the exact configuration you want.
The door itself may qualify if ordered with Low-E glass and if the frame meets the thermal performance thresholds under the current federal energy tax credit program. Eligibility changes by tax year and installation date. Bring us your specifics and we’ll help you confirm whether your configuration meets the standard before you commit.
The manufacturer’s warranty covers the aluminum frame and glass, and our installation workmanship is warrantied separately by Hale Windows West Covina. Specific terms depend on finish and glass selection. What matters practically: we are the single point of contact for any warranty claim, and we handle it directly with ViewLux.
Yes. The VLX 100 is ordered to your exact opening dimensions up to a 96 inch total width for the paired unit. Height is also custom. That’s standard for this product class, unlike stock box-store doors that force you to modify the opening. We measure, we order, the door fits.
Wash the frames twice a year with mild soap and water, and keep the track and weather stripping free of dirt and debris. That’s it. No painting, no sealing, no termite treatment. Aluminum is the lowest-maintenance door material in the West Covina climate, and the finishes on the VLX 100 are baked, not painted, so they don’t peel.
