From a 1920s entry in Hollywood Lakes to a condo door on a Hillcrest catwalk, Hollywood doors come with their own rules. We install hurricane-rated impact doors that pass the city's checklist the first time.
The front door is often the weakest opening in an older Hollywood home. A failed entry door in a storm lets pressure into the house, and that is how roofs come off. An impact door closes that gap and usually seals out water and street noise far better than what it replaces.
Hollywood's permit checklist has door rules that most homeowners never hear about. Condo doors that swing onto a shared catwalk cannot block more than half its width, and doors in the historic districts must fit the original opening. We measure for both before we order.
Where a condo catwalk runs past your door, the city requires that the door in any position not cut the walkway's required width by more than half. If it might, the permit needs a photo of existing conditions. This matters in the many Hollywood condo communities with exterior walkways.
