VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door in Woodland Hills, CA | Hale Windows Woodland Hills
The VLX 100 Double Swing door is a paired aluminum French door system built for wide openings, clean sightlines, and daily use that feels effortless. Homeowners across Woodland Hills choose it when they want a true indoor-outdoor connection without the sagging, sticking, or warping that plagues lesser materials. Hale Windows Woodland Hills is an authorized ViewLux installation partner, which means you get the product at full warranty strength and an install crew that works to AAMA standards on every opening. If you’re planning a patio transition, a courtyard entry, or replacing an old sliding door in the San Fernando Valley, call (831) 618-2053 to talk through pricing and lead times.
Product Overview – VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door
The VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door is built for symmetry. Two door panels hinge from the jambs and meet in the center, giving you the classic French door look with none of the maintenance headaches of wood. The aluminum frame profile measures 2.56 inches across the face, which is substantial enough to carry large glass lites without flexing, yet slim enough to keep sightlines open and modern. Architects and designers in Woodland Hills repeatedly spec this door for ranch-style remodels, mid-century restorations, and contemporary new builds where the opening is a focal point, not an afterthought.
What separates this door from the average French door at the big-box store is the engineering underneath. The frame wall is 0.098 inches thick, a number that matters when you’re hanging two 300-plus-pound panels that will swing thousands of times over their life. Thin extruded aluminum flexes. This one doesn’t. Paired with a flush threshold, the door gives you a near-seamless floor transition, which is a real quality-of-life feature for anyone in Woodland Hills who moves between the kitchen and backyard constantly, or needs accessibility without a raised track to trip over.
The multi-point lock hardware is the third piece of the equation. Instead of a single latch at the handle, the VLX 100 engages locking points at the top, bottom, and center of the active panel. You pull the handle up and the door seals tight against the frame. It feels solid, it deters forced entry, and it helps the weatherstripping do its job by pulling the panel into consistent contact around the entire perimeter. For Woodland Hills homeowners who leave for work with the doors locked behind them, that matters.

Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency
Aluminum conducts heat, which is why cheap aluminum doors sweat in winter and radiate heat in summer. The VLX 100 uses a thermal break, a non-conductive barrier between the interior and exterior frame halves. That break, combined with Low-E glass, keeps your Woodland Hills cooling bills lower from June through October, when the valley heat really tests a door’s energy performance.
Acoustic Performance
Woodland Hills sits close enough to the 101 freeway that traffic hum is a daily reality on streets north of Ventura Boulevard. Laminated glass makes a measurable difference, cutting sound transmission noticeably versus standard annealed glass. Our clients who live on through-streets consistently tell us the bedroom-facing door is the quietest opening in the house after install.
Airtightness & Weather Seal
The multi-point lock does more than secure the door. It compresses the weatherstripping evenly along the entire perimeter when engaged. That means no gap at the top corner, no daylight leak at the bottom. Air infiltration ratings improve dramatically versus a single-latch French door, and in a climate like Woodland Hills, where hot winds kick up dust in fall, that seal keeps indoor air cleaner.
Waterproofing
The flush threshold is sloped to shed water outward, not inward, and the sill design channels any water that does collect away from the interior floor. That’s critical for Woodland Hills homes during the winter rain season, when storms arrive from the Pacific and drive rain against south-facing and west-facing doors. The sill design is tested for water resistance, not just built to look good in a showroom.
Wind Resistance
The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for Southern California requirements, which matter more here than most homeowners realize. Woodland Hills experiences Santa Ana wind events every fall and winter, and a wide double-door opening is a big sail when the wind gusts hit 50 or 60 miles per hour. The 0.098-inch frame wall and reinforced corner joinery keep the panels from bowing under load. For homeowners in hillside exposures, laminated impact glass adds another level of protection.
Security & Hardware
The multi-point lock system engages at three points along the active panel: top shoot bolt, center latch, and bottom shoot bolt. This distributes force across the full height of the frame instead of concentrating it at a single latch point, which is how burglars defeat weaker doors. The hardware itself is made from stainless steel components that resist corrosion even in coastal-adjacent microclimates on the western edge of Woodland Hills.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door comes in six finishes, and the right one for your home depends heavily on architecture. Pure White and Anodized Silver lean traditional and bright, working well on Spanish colonial and ranch-style homes that dominate the older Woodland Hills neighborhoods south of Ventura Boulevard. Premium Black and Bronze deliver the modern, high-contrast look that’s everywhere in new construction and flip remodels across the Valley. Champagne works beautifully on homes with warm stone or cream stucco, while Teak Wood gives you a wood-door appearance from the street with zero wood maintenance.
On the glass side, Clear is the standard choice for maximum light transmission. Frosted and Obscure glass suit bathroom-adjacent doors, home offices, or any opening where you want privacy without losing daylight. Low-E is the energy upgrade we recommend to nearly every Woodland Hills client since it cuts solar heat gain while preserving clarity. Tempered is required by code in most door applications. Laminated adds both impact resistance and sound dampening, worth the cost if you’re on a busy street or want the strongest door possible.
Installation by Hale Windows Woodland Hills in Woodland Hills
There’s a saying in our industry: a good door installed badly is a bad door. The VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door is only as good as the opening it’s set in, and that’s where our crew earns its reputation across Woodland Hills and the surrounding San Fernando Valley.
Every install starts with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. We check the framing dimensions, look for rot or termite damage in the existing opening, and verify that the subfloor is level. Woodland Hills homes span a wide range of eras, from 1950s ranch builds to 2020s modern construction, and the framing conditions vary wildly. An installer who doesn’t catch a wonky header or an out-of-square opening before the door goes in will fight the door for years. We don’t let that happen.
We then set the frame level, plumb, and square, shimming as needed and anchoring per AAMA 2400/2410 standards. The perimeter gets a continuous bead of AAMA 812-rated low-expansion foam sealant, which seals gaps without warping the frame. Then the panels are hung, adjusted, and tested for smooth swing and proper compression of the weatherstripping. We test the multi-point lock, the flush threshold drainage, and run water on the exterior to confirm there’s no intrusion at the sill. The final step is cleanup, taping off, and walking you through the operation so the door feels second nature from day one.
One more thing worth knowing: ViewLux warranties hinge on proper installation. If an unlicensed contractor or a well-meaning DIY install damages the frame, the warranty is void. As an authorized ViewLux installation partner, Hale Windows Woodland Hills installs this door in a manner that keeps your warranty fully enforceable. That’s not marketing language. That’s the practical reality of getting a premium product to perform for 20 or 30 years in the Woodland Hills climate.
Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door
Most VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door orders take 3 to 6 weeks from sign-off to delivery at our Woodland Hills warehouse, depending on the glass and finish combination.

ViewLux provides a manufacturer’s warranty on the VLX 100 frame, finishes, glass, and hardware, and the terms vary by component. Our installation workmanship is separately covered by Hale Windows Woodland Hills. The key condition is that installation must be performed by an authorized partner, which we are, to maintain full warranty coverage. We’ll walk you through the warranty specifics before you sign.
Yes. The VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door is manufactured to your opening dimensions rather than sold as a stock size. The system supports spans up to 96 inches wide, which covers most French door applications in Woodland Hills homes, and height is configurable as well. We measure on site to confirm exact dimensions, then order the door to fit. No filler strips, no framed-down openings, no compromises.
Aluminum frames need very little maintenance. Wash them twice a year with mild soap and water, and keep the bottom track and threshold channels free of leaves, dirt, and debris that can block drainage. Woodland Hills is dusty in the dry months, so a monthly vacuum of the threshold channels is a good habit. Lubricate the multi-point lock annually with a dry silicone spray to keep the action smooth. That’s the entire routine.
