AfterTrusted Door Installation for Palm Beach Homeowners
A new door in Palm Beach has to do three jobs at once: hold up to salt air that eats hardware, stand square through humidity swings that make cheap jambs bind, and meet Florida Building Code impact requirements in a coastal wind zone. Most doors sold in big-box stores fail one of those within five years. We install doors that hold all three, and we put that in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. TruePane Windows & Doors has served Palm Beach homeowners since 2008 through a craft tradition founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler. Call (850) 801-5596 and a live person answers, day or night.

- Every job carries the Done Right Promise with no fine print.
- We install authorized product lines from Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, PGT, CGI, and more.
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
We install every door as a system, not a slab hung on hinges. That means the rough opening gets checked for square and level, the threshold gets sealed against Palm Beach rain patterns, and the hardware gets set to close with full contact on all three sides of the weatherstripping. When the pane is not true, the job is not done. That founding rule governs every door we hang.
Entry & Swing Doors
An entry door is the first thing you touch when you come home and the last defense against wind-driven rain. In Palm Beach, an entry door also has to carry impact-rated glass and a reinforced frame when the opening faces the water or an unprotected exposure. We measure the opening twice before ordering, set the new frame plumb in all directions, and install threshold pans that shed water away from the subfloor. We hang ornamental glass, solid wood, fiberglass, and steel Entry & Swing Doors, and we register the finish warranty as well as the structural warranty.
Double & French Doors
Double doors fail most often at the meeting stile, where the two panels have to align flush and throw the hardware cleanly. Palm Beach humidity makes wood panels swell, which is why we spec materials and clearances for the local climate rather than a generic spec sheet. We install true divided-lite and simulated divided-lite Double & French Doors, interior and exterior, with astragals that seal tight and hardware that engages without forcing. When a pair is out of square by a quarter inch, the lock will never throw right, so we correct the opening before the panels go in.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Folding doors are common here for pool access and for opening a dining room to a covered lanai. They carry a lot of engineering in a narrow stack: top-hung or bottom-rolling hardware, multiple hinge points, and a threshold that has to remain flush for bare feet. We install multi-panel Bifold & Folding Doors with tracks that drain correctly for Palm Beach downpours and panels that stack evenly without dragging. Every panel gets checked for alignment across the full run before we call the job done.
Pivot Doors
A pivot door swings on a top and bottom pin instead of traditional hinges, which means it can be wider and heavier than a standard entry panel. The header and floor mount have to carry more weight and more torque, so we verify the structure above and below before installation. We install custom pivot doors in wood, aluminum, and steel, with closers and stops set for the panel’s actual weight rather than an estimate. When a pivot is set even slightly out of plane, it will not rest closed, so we true the pivot axis as carefully as we true the glass.
Storm Doors
A storm door is the first weather barrier and the lightest panel in the opening, which makes it the easiest to install wrong. We install storm doors that include a full-length screen and glass panel, with closers adjusted for wind pressure and latch placement matched to your existing entry door hardware. Many Palm Beach homes use a storm door on the leeward side for cross-ventilation in the cooler months, and those openings need a storm panel that seals fully when closed. We stock common sizes and many replacement parts in our service vehicles, so a worn storm door can often be brought back to true on the same visit.
Arched & Custom Doors
An arched door opening is an architectural feature, and it has to be templated precisely. We take field dimensions at multiple points along the arc, build a template when the opening is irregular, and order the panel to fit the actual opening rather than the original blueprint. Arched & Custom Doors often mean sidelites, transoms, or unusual hardware, and we coordinate all of it so the finished opening looks like it grew there. No two arched openings are identical, and that is exactly why we measure every one as its own job.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. When we install a PGT or CGI impact-rated door in Palm Beach, we order it through the manufacturer’s authorized channel, which means the warranty is valid from day one and the product is built to Florida Building Code wind load requirements for this specific zone. We have installed hundreds of these doors and we know how the hardware performs after five seasons of salt air.
We also work with ES Windows and ECO Window Systems for custom and modern door packages where the homeowner wants oversized glass or a specific stile profile. Whether you have an Andersen entry door, a PGT impact slider, an ES Windows pivot, or any other make, we can install it, adjust it, and stand behind the work. The manufacturer’s warranty covers the product, and our Done Right Promise covers the installation. Both layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves.
Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now
- The door binds or sticks when the season changes. Palm Beach humidity makes wood and even some composite frames move. If you have to lift the handle or shoulder the panel to close it, the slab and the jamb are no longer in the same plane. A door that binds is also a door that is wearing its hinges and lock set faster than it should.
- You can see daylight around the perimeter. Stand inside on a bright afternoon and close the door. If you see light at the top, bottom, or sides, the weatherstripping is not doing its job and the door is leaking conditioned air. In a Palm Beach summer, that is real money leaving the house every month.
- The door has impact glass that failed a seal. Coastal humidity and thermal cycling will eventually fog a double-pane unit. A fogged seal means the insulated glass has lost its thermal performance and appears cloudy. If the panel is impact-rated, the replacement has to match the original product approval, not just the glass size.
- Rust is showing at the hinges or threshold. Salt air in Palm Beach attacks exposed hardware faster than inland homes ever see. Rust on the hinge knuckles or the threshold cap means the components are weakening. A corroded hinge can eventually pull screws loose from the jamb, which is a security concern as well as a functional one.
- The door is original to a home built before current wind codes. Homes built before the stricter Florida Building Code updates were not required to have impact-rated openings. If your door is original to a home from the 1980s or earlier, it is almost certainly not rated for current wind loads. An unrated door is the weak point in the wall when a storm tracks toward Palm Beach.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measure and assess the opening. We measure width, height, and diagonal in multiple locations, and we check the rough opening for level and plumb. If the framing has settled or the header has sagged, we tell you before anything gets ordered. You will know exactly what the opening needs and what it costs before you sign anything.
- 2
Side-by-side quote on paper. We quote manufacturer lines side by side so you can see what each brand costs, what each warranty covers, and how long each one is. No guesswork and no vague phone estimates. You choose the door, the glass package, and the hardware with full numbers in front of you.
- 3
Order through the authorized channel. We order every door through the manufacturer’s authorized dealer network, which preserves the warranty and guarantees the product is built for this climate zone. For impact-rated doors, we confirm the product approval number matches Palm Beach County requirements before the order is released.
- 4
Install to true. The old door comes out, the opening gets corrected where needed, and the new door goes in square, level, and sealed. We install the threshold pan, the weatherstripping, the hinges, and the hardware with the same care we give a pane of glass. The second-generation glazier standard applies: if it is not true, it is not done.
- 5
Register the warranties and walk the job. Before we leave, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing and hand you a copy. We walk the door with you, you test the lock and the swing, and only then do we call the job complete. If something is not right, we fix it on the spot, and you still have our Done Right Promise behind the whole job.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in Palm Beach?
A standard single entry door installation in Palm Beach typically runs $800-$1,800 for a pre-hung unit in a normal opening with straightforward trim. A double or French door installation runs $1,500-$4,000 depending on the panel material, glass package, and whether the opening needs reframing. Impact-rated doors, which most water-adjacent Palm Beach homes require, start around $1,200 for a single panel and can reach $4,500 or more for larger openings with custom glass.
| Door Type | Typical Installed Price Range (Palm Beach) |
|---|---|
| Single Entry Door (standard) | $800 - $1,800 |
| Single Entry Door (impact-rated) | $1,200 - $3,000 |
| French / Double Door | $1,500 - $4,000 |
| Storm Door | $400 - $900 |
| Pivot Door (custom) | $2,500 - $6,000+ |
| Bifold / Folding Door System | $2,000 - $5,500+ |
What drives the price up is the rough opening. If the framing has water damage from a failed threshold, or the header needs reinforcing to carry a heavier pivot door, the scope changes and so does the number. We quote the full job before we start, and we do not come back with surprise line items. What drives the price down is a straightforward opening, a standard-size panel, and an existing jamb that is still solid. Most Palm Beach homes fall somewhere in the middle.
A word on avoiding overpaying: some contractors quote a door at a low number and then charge for the threshold, the hardware, the trim, the haul-away, and the finish work separately. We quote the complete installed job in writing. You will see the door, the hardware, the labor, and the warranty registration as line items on one page. Your free estimate includes all of it.

Frequently Asked Questions - Door Installation in Palm Beach
Door installation means removing an existing door and installing a new pre-hung or slab door in its place, including the frame, threshold, weatherstripping, hardware, and trim. For Palm Beach homes, installation also includes verifying the rough opening is sound, checking that the door meets wind load and impact requirements where applicable, and sealing the sill against water intrusion. It is a structural job as much as a carpentry job, which is why we treat the opening itself as the first thing we inspect.
Most single-door installations in Palm Beach are completed the same day, usually within four to six hours from start to finished trim. A double door, pivot door, or custom arched opening may take a full day or require a second visit for final adjustment. If the opening needs reframing or structural correction, we tell you at the estimate so the schedule is set before we begin. Call (850) 801-5596 for a realistic timeline on your specific door.
A standard entry door installation in Palm Beach typically runs $800-$1,800, with impact-rated doors starting around $1,200 and custom or oversized doors running higher. The final number depends on the door type, the material, the glass package, and the condition of the existing rough opening. We provide a written, line-item quote before any work begins so you know exactly what you are paying for. Call (850) 801-5596 and we will schedule your free estimate.
Yes, we are an authorized installer for, PGT, CGI, and more than a dozen other manufacturer lines. That means we order through the authorized channel, which keeps the manufacturer’s warranty valid, and we install to the manufacturer’s specification. We also work with ES Windows and ECO Window Systems for custom and contemporary door packages. If you have a different brand, call us and we will tell you whether we can install it and what the warranty picture looks like.
We staff our phone lines with a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because a broken or compromised door is not something to leave until Monday. If a storm lifted a slab off its track or a break-in attempt damaged the jamb, call (850) 801-5596 and someone will answer. We will schedule service as soon as a technician is available, and we will tell you honestly what can be done that day and what needs to be ordered.
Your new door carries two warranty layers: the manufacturer’s product warranty and TruePane’s Done Right Promise on the installation. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. If the installation is not right within 90 days, we make it right, no paperwork and no arguing. That is the standard on the first visit and the baseline for every callback.
Clear the area around the door on both sides, including wall art near the opening and any furniture within four feet of the swing path. Move vehicles out of the driveway so the service vehicle can stage tools and material close to the opening. We cover the floor with drop cloths and clean up the work area before we leave, so you do not need to do anything else. If you have pets, keep them in a separate room while the door is open during the swap.
