ODL Launches HVHZ Approved Entry Doors for Coastal Markets

ZEELAND, Mich., June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ODL, Inc. is expanding its protective product offering with the introduction of High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) approved entry doors—engineered to meet the most demanding impact standards without sacrificing design flexibility.

Combined with ODL's impact-rated doorglass and frame solutions, the offering now delivers more than 1,000 tested and approved configurations to help dealers, remodelers, and builders meet stringent coastal code requirements. The expanded offering includes flush glazed doors, addressing market demand for this style.

Designed to perform in the most extreme weather conditions, these entry doors meet the rigorous requirements for HVHZ, offering:

• Design Pressure (DP) rating of up to 65 for 6'8" configurations
• DP rating of 50 for 8'0" configurations

The result: proven protection for homes and unmatched product versatility for professionals serving hurricane-prone and code-driven markets. Annie Agrotis, Director of Product Management at ODL, says "Equipping your portfolio with HVHZ approved doors means you're ready to serve high-opportunity, code-restricted regions with confidence. With decades of category expertise and a reputation for reliability, ODL is the partner you can count on to deliver."

High-Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ) refer to regions—such as Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in Florida—where products must meet the highest impact resistance standards. Wind-Borne Debris Regions (WBDR) are broader areas that require enhanced protection against flying debris during severe storms.

For dealers, remodelers, and builders, offering products that meet these requirements is critical for both regulatory compliance and market growth. ODL's expansive impact-rated portfolio—including flush glazed HVHZ-approved doors—provides the versatility and confidence professionals need to succeed in these competitive markets.
