Why We Exist

We sell the right door — never just one factory’s catalog.

Most door companies represent a single manufacturer — so they sell you whatever is in their catalog. PDA is independent. We weigh manufacturers, product specifications, budget, aesthetics, and the Florida code path before presenting options, then supply the one you choose. Our only goal is the right entrance for your project.

We don’t just ship steel and glass. We help you choose confidently — storm protection, architectural presence, and an entrance worthy of the home behind it.

Our Philosophy
Custom black iron entry door in a luxury architectural design studio with plans and material samples
Built for Florida

Anatomy of a Florida impact entry.

The door is not just design. In Florida, it is part of the building envelope — engineered for salt air, wind load, and storm code.

Impact glass, Florida Product Approval / NOA guidance, wind-load and jurisdiction-specific review — handled before anything is ordered. No permit surprises.

  1. Impact Glass PackageImpact-rated glazing tested to TAS 201–203 per the selected system — the storm-season upgrade most waterfront clients choose.
  2. Multi-Point Locking UpgradeThree or more engagement points distribute pressure across the frame, not just the latch. Security you can feel in the handle.
  3. Coastal Hardware PackageMarine-grade stainless or corrosion-resistant powder-coated hardware, specified for salt air and gulf exposure.
  4. Specialty & Privacy GlassRain, Flemish, frosted, and low-E options that tune light, privacy, and efficiency to the home.
  5. Custom Finish ProgramOil-rubbed bronze, custom powder-coat colors, and premium textures beyond standard matte black.
  6. Oversized & Arched EngineeringComplex openings, grand arches, and site-specific engineering — the projects other door companies decline.

Signature upgrades quoted per project — availability depends on selected manufacturer, opening, jurisdiction, and approval path. Tell Paul what matters and the estimate reflects it.

What does a custom iron door cost?

Most custom iron entries are not $2,000 big-box doors. They are built to order — sourced from the manufacturer whose system fits your opening, your code path, and your budget.

Options at every level

We present multiple products at different price points so you can see the range before committing. Pricing covers the product, its documentation and freight coordination.

Final product pricing depends on manufacturer, size, glass, finish, approval path, and shipping. Tell us what you need and we’ll come back with multiple options and straightforward pricing.

Good Questions

Frequently asked.

Do I need measurements to start?

No. Tell us what you need, or send photos or plans to 813-460-8708, and Paul comes back with product options — usually same day. Final measurements are verified and approved by you or your contractor before anything is ordered.

Why should I text a photo first?

A photo shows the opening, the architecture, and the likely code path at once. It's the fastest way to get real direction without a sales visit.

Are your doors impact rated?

Impact-rated options are available. PDA reviews the likely product approval or NOA path for your opening and jurisdiction before anything is ordered, and supplies the documentation. Final approval rests with your local building department.

What about permits?

PDA supplies the manufacturer’s product approval documentation for your permit package. PDA does not pull permits, provide engineering approval, or determine code compliance — your contractor, design professional, and local building department do.

What is a Florida Product Approval or NOA?

Florida's systems for verifying a product meets state and Miami-Dade code requirements. The right path depends on your jurisdiction and the selected system — PDA reviews it before ordering and supplies the documentation, but your local authority makes the final determination.

Can you work with my builder or architect?

Yes — that’s a core part of the business. PDA supports product selection, specifications, approval documentation, and supplier coordination for project teams. Your builder or contractor takes it from there.

Do you only sell one manufacturer?

No — that's the point. PDA is independent. We weigh manufacturers, engineering, budget, aesthetics, and Florida code before recommending anything. Never one factory's catalog.

How long does a custom iron door take?

True custom typically runs 12–16 weeks in production, explained clearly up front. Timelines depend on manufacturer, design, and approval path.

What areas do you serve?

Based in Largo and supplying doors nationwide. Florida is our established market — Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tampa, all of Pinellas and the Gulf beaches, plus Sarasota, Bradenton and Naples.

What affects the price?

Manufacturer, size, glass, approval path, finish and shipping. PDA quotes the product, its documentation and freight. We present options at more than one price point.

Can you help with arched or oversized openings?

Yes. Arched, oversized, and complex openings are exactly where independent sourcing and jurisdiction-specific review earn their keep. Start with a photo.

How It Works

Six steps, no showroom.

PDA is a supplier, not an contractor. That keeps the process simple and the pricing honest — you see product options from multiple manufacturers instead of whatever one catalog happens to carry.

  1. Tell us what you needA photo, plans, opening details, or just a description. No measurements required to start.
  2. Receive multiple product and pricing optionsSourced from more than one manufacturer, at more than one price point, with the specification documents for each.
  3. Review and approve the specificationsYou or your chosen contractor verify final measurements, handing, swing, jamb depth, wall conditions, and local code and permit requirements.
  4. Pay securelyDeposit and balance handled through secure payment. Sales tax is calculated based on the transaction and destination.
  5. PDA places the order and coordinates shippingShipped from the manufacturer or through an appropriate freight provider — availability and freight depend on product and destination.
  6. Choose your own contractorUse any qualified contractor you like, or ask us for independent recommendations where they are available.
