How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Roller assemblies on CGI Estate Series sliders wear flat after 15 to 20 years of Palm Beach salt air. The nylon wheel flattens on one side and the door drags, then the homeowner forces it and bends the track. We replace the rollers with OEM or equivalent stainless-steel assemblies, clean the track channel, and set the door height so it doesn’t happen again for another decade. No lube-and-go jobs here.
• CGI Estate Series sliding doors develop a “sticky open” at about 11 a.m. on summer days, when the southern exposure heats the jamb side and the frame swells. We have seen this in homes along South Ocean Boulevard and in West Palm’s older coastal neighborhoods. The real fix is adjusting the reveal at the jamb and, in some cases, shimming the track to keep the alignment true under thermal load. It’s a half-day job most of the time.
• CGI 7780 and 7781 impact sliding doors sometimes get a soft feel at the lock stile, where the twin-point lock has drifted out of time with the strike plate. The door latches, but it doesn’t seat hard. We retime the lock, adjust the keeper, and when the hardware shows corrosion we replace it with a salt-rated assembly so the door locks like it did when it was new.
• Track corrosion is the quiet killer on older CGI sliding doors in Palm Beach. The aluminum track sits in a recess that catches sprinkler overspray and salt film. The track pinholes, the rollers start jumping, and the door binds at the same spot every pass. We clean, inspect, and when the track is too far gone we replace it and bed the new one in sealant so water can’t sit under it.
• CGI patio door weatherstripping hardens after about eight to ten years in the Florida sun, especially on the western-facing doors. The door starts letting air, and on the worst days you can feel the heat standing next to the glass. We replace the compression strips and interior sweep, check the interlock, and re-set the panel so the doors close on the weather seal without slamming.

Our CGI Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process

1. 1
   Call and tell us what the door is doing. We’ll ask what part of the day it sticks, drags, or leaks, and whether it’s a north or south exposure. That tells us more than most folks realize.
2. 2
   We come out and measure the door, not the problem. Technicians measure the opening, the panel square, the track reveal, and the gap at the interlock. We’re checking for the cause, not just the symptom.
3. 3
   We quote OEM parts and quality aftermarket parts side by side, on paper. Some CGI models have long lead times on OEM hardware. When a solid aftermarket option exists, we’ll tell you the tradeoff in plain language and let you decide.
4. 4
   We make the repair or adjustment right there when the parts are on the truck. Most roller, lock, and weatherseal work goes the same visit. If we’re ordering a panel or track, we tell you the honest lead time and show up when we say.
5. 5
   We test the door the way a homeowner tests it. Open, close, lock, unlock, slide it hard, slide it slow, check for light at the weatherseal, and run it on a hot afternoon. If the panel doesn’t glide true and lock with some authority, we’re not done.
6. 6
   You get the Done Right Promise in writing, both manufacturer warranty layers registered before the truck leaves the driveway, and Dale Kessler’s standing rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.

What CGI Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Costs in Palm Beach

Real numbers, no games. Here’s what we see for CGI sliding glass and patio door work in Palm Beach:

• Roller replacement, one panel: $180 to $340 installed, depending on whether we’re doing the top and bottom carriers or just the bottom set.
• Lock retiming and adjustment: $150 to $260, parts included if the existing hardware is salvageable.
• Weatherseal replacement, full door: $200 to $400, materials and labor.
• Track repair or replacement: $400 to $900, depending on track length and whether we’re bedding a new track in sealant.
• Full panel service with hardware overhaul: $700 to $1,400, which is the point where we’ll have an honest conversation about whether a replacement door makes more sense than putting money into a frame that’s tired.

What moves the price: the condition of the frame, the parts lead time, and whether the door is a standard height or a custom cut. Call (850) 801-5596 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and we’ll put the number on paper before any wrench turns.

Why Palm Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work

We’ve served Palm Beach and the surrounding county since 2008, through a second-generation glazier’s craft tradition that started with Dale Kessler’s father repairing jalousie windows in El Cid. Dale grew up in this town, trained at Palm Beach State College, and has spent two decades setting and servicing impact-rated doors in salt air, humidity, and afternoon sun. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, and they know CGI hardware well enough to tell you when a part is worth saving and when it’s past saving. We’re also authorized installers for PGT, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, which matters when a homeowner has a mixed house. And every job, no exceptions, carries the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing before we leave. If the frame is right and the glass is rated, the rest is just following through.
