A glass entry door is the most visible window on the house, and it is the one where aluminum's strengths matter most: a full-height panel that will not warp, swell or stick, a frame slim enough to disappear behind the glass, and a finish that looks the same in year fifteen as on delivery day. All Weather Architectural Aluminum makes two, the Series 7000 hinged door and the Series 7200 pivot door, and the choice between them is about how the door moves and how much test data you want behind it.
Series 7000: The Hinged Door
The 7000 is a 3¼-inch thermally broken frame extruded in 6063-T5 aluminum with twin 18 mm thermal struts, die-cast corner keys and EPDM gaskets. It comes as an inswing or outswing, single or pair, with fixed sidelites and transoms in the same system. Panels reach 48 by 120 inches, so a pair spans 96 by 120. Glazing is 1-inch dual-pane or 1¼-inch triple-pane, tempered as standard on a door, with simulated divided lites at 1 inch and true divided lites at 2½ inches for a traditional look. A 10-inch kick rail is available.
Three sills cover three needs: a half-inch low-profile sill for accessibility, a 1 13/16-inch mid-rise, and a 2⅜-inch sill for weather exposure. Hardware is a multipoint lock with Tokyo, Dallas or Stockholm handle sets, and All Weather added a smart-lock option in 2026. There is no screen door; the frame does not accept one.
The testing is solid. The mid-rise sill configuration tested in 2024 at CW-DP35 with air infiltration under 0.01 cfm per square foot and water resistance of 5.43 psf, and the outswing impact version carries DP50. Sound transmission class runs to 40. NFRC U-factors are 0.35 to 0.41 inswing, 0.36 to 0.42 outswing, and 0.28 to 0.36 on sidelites, with SHGC from 0.18 to 0.33.
Series 7200: The Pivot Door
The 7200 turns on a concealed floor closer set in from the hinge edge, so the panel is balanced rather than hung. That lets a single panel reach 60 inches wide and 144 inches tall in a 2 15/16-inch-deep 6063-T6 frame, with stiles at 1 9/16 or 2⅝ inches, a ⅜-inch ADA sill or none, and ladder pulls from 2 to 7 feet. Inswing or outswing, single or double, with fixed sidelites and transoms. Glazing is 1¼ inches with simulated divided lites at ⅝, ⅞ or 1 inch.
All Weather publishes no design pressure, U-factor or STC for the 7200; it is NFRC certified, and that is the extent of the data. We treat it as what it is, an architectural statement at the front of a modern house, and we let the sidelites and glass package carry the thermal load. It is not the door for a wind-driven-rain wall or a tight energy budget.
Where They Fit in Idaho
Both doors belong on a contemporary home where the entry is a design feature: a Harris Ranch or Avimor build with a glass-and-steel vocabulary, a foothills remodel opening a dark entry to daylight, or the front of a house already wearing All Weather multi-slide and bifold doors in back. Dark bronze anodized is the finish that sells them.
Where we steer people elsewhere is honest and short. A homeowner who wants the best-insulating entry buys a Therma-Tru fiberglass slab with a small lite, and we say so. A homeowner who wants a screen door needs a different product entirely. And a traditional home under historic review gets a wood door. Glass entry doors are a compromise on energy from every manufacturer; the 7000 makes the compromise well, and the 7200 makes it beautifully.
Installation, Warranty and Service
The Series 7000 ships knocked down for field assembly, which All Weather specifies for professional installers, and the 7200's floor closer has to be set in the slab before the finish floor goes down. Both are jobs for a crew that does them regularly, which is why every All Weather door we sell is set by Wood Windows employees. All Weather's residential warranty runs ten years on parts and one year on labor for the original purchaser, with one year on any motorized component and twenty years on Kynar paint. Service on a door we installed comes from our Garden City shop.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Series 7000 and Series 7200?
How the door swings. The Series 7000 is a conventional hinged door on a 3¼-inch thermally broken frame, inswing or outswing, single or paired, with panels to 48 by 120 inches, a multipoint lock, and a choice of three sills from a half-inch ADA profile to a full 2⅜-inch weeped sill. The Series 7200 is a pivot door: the panel turns on a concealed floor closer set in from the edge rather than on hinges, which lets it reach 60 inches wide and 144 inches tall as a single panel. The 7000 has full structural and thermal test data behind it; the 7200 is NFRC certified but All Weather publishes no design pressure or U-factor for it, so we treat it as an architectural statement piece and specify the sidelites and glass to do the thermal work.
Is an aluminum glass entry door practical in Idaho winters?
It is a glass door, so it is a compromise on energy no matter who makes it. A Series 7000 inswing tests at 0.35 to 0.41 U-factor with dual-pane glass, which is better than an old aluminum storefront door and worse than an insulated fiberglass entry slab. What the thermally broken frame buys you is no frost line on the interior metal and no condensation puddle at the threshold, which is where the non-thermally-broken aluminum doors of the 1980s failed. We specify triple glazing, Solarban or LoE-366 coatings, and the 2⅜-inch sill on north and west entries, and we tell buyers plainly that a Therma-Tru fiberglass door with a small lite will always insulate better if that is the priority.
Can the Series 7000 be installed with a screen door?
No. All Weather offers no screen for the Series 7000 hinged door, and the frame is not designed to accept a conventional storm or screen door. If ventilation through the entry matters, the answer in All Weather's line is a Series 8100 multi-slide or 8150 sliding door with the retractable screen option, or a Series 9200 bifold with a screened operable panel. We raise this at the design stage because it is a common assumption and an expensive surprise after installation.
