Door Installation in Palm Beach - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Door Installation Across Palm Beach

Door installation in Palm Beach runs on a different clock than the rest of Palm Beach County. Between the town’s Architectural Commission (ARCOM) design review, the Florida Product Approval impact-rating requirement, and the separate town permit, a compliant exterior door replacement here takes four to eight weeks longer than an equivalent swap in West Palm Beach. We’ve navigated that process on landmarked South Ocean Boulevard estates and on quiet Midtown side streets, and we’re familiar with what the town will and won’t approve. If you’re weighing a new entry door, storm door, or custom arched replacement, call (850) 801-5596 for an estimate that accounts for all three gates before the first cut is made.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company

We’re not the cheapest bid in Palm Beach, and we won’t pretend to be. What we are is the company that shows up with the right paperwork the first time. Our Door Installation team has worked through ARCOM’s design review process enough times to know which door profiles will clear on the first submittal and which will get kicked back for minor molding deviations. That matters when every week of delay resets your permit clock and pushes your install deeper into hurricane season.

Dale Kessler founded TruePane with a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to doors as much as glass. Our technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. On a Mizner-era arched entry, that means documenting the Florida Product Approval number, the ARCOM approval date, and the town permit number so your windstorm insurance file is complete.

We answer the phone with a live person 24 hours a day. When a Palm Beach homeowner calls with a door that won’t latch after a storm or a hinge that’s seized from salt air, they speak to a human who can dispatch a background-checked, uniformed technician. No voicemail tree, no regional call center, no callback form.

Our Door Installation Services in Palm Beach

Most Palm Beach door work falls into a few categories shaped by the island’s housing stock. The pre-war estates need custom geometry. The post-war and contemporary oceanfront homes need large-format impact glass. Here’s what we install most often, and why each one behaves differently on a barrier island.

Entry & Swing Doors

A front entry door in Palm Beach does more than welcome guests. It’s your windstorm first line of defense and the single most likely element to trigger an ARCOM compliance question if visible from the street. We install impact-rated swing doors with marine-grade hardware and compression weatherstripping rated for simultaneous ocean and Intracoastal salt exposure. Standard inland hardware corrodes here within two years.

Double & French Doors

Double doors on Palm Beach homes often open onto loggias, courtyards, or pool decks where a single door simply won’t span the opening. We’ve replaced pairs on Intracoastal-facing Colonials where the original rough opening was framed for 1920s casement doors that no modern catalog door matches. Custom fabrication is the answer, not shimming and hoping. Each leaf has to meet the same wind-load rating as a single door, plus interlocks that hold under storm pressure.

Bifold & Folding Doors

Bifold and accordion-style doors show up on newer Palm Beach builds where owners want the living space to open fully to a terrace or a sea view. The engineering challenge here is the track and roller system. Salt air is hard on rollers, especially the smaller gauge units some manufacturers spec for inland installations. We use stainless rollers and hardened aluminum tracks, and we set the track with proper drainage so standing rainwater doesn’t corrode the sill from below.

Pivot Doors

Pivot doors are increasingly specified for Palm Beach’s larger contemporary homes, and they’re a good fit for the island’s wide entry portals. A pivot door hangs from top and bottom hardware instead of side hinges, which means the rough opening has to be nearly perfect and the framing has to carry the full leaf weight through the floor. On a South Ocean Boulevard estate, our crew replaced a 1920s arched entry portal with a custom impact-rated pivot door from Marvin, engineered to match the original cast-stone radius exactly. We pulled the town permit, cleared ARCOM’s design review, and installed marine-grade stainless hinges and compression weatherstripping rated for salt-air exposure, then documented the Florida Product Approval numbers for the homeowner’s windstorm insurance file.

Storm Doors

Storm doors in Palm Beach aren’t the aluminum-and-screen units you see on inland Florida homes. Here they’re impact-rated outer leaves that protect an expensive entry door behind them. If your primary door is a period-appropriate wood unit that can’t meet current wind-load requirements, a compliant storm door can bring the opening into code without destroying historic fabric. That’s a conversation we have regularly with ARCOM reviewers, and we know how to present it.

Arched & Custom Doors

The 1920s and 1930s Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial homes Addison Mizner built across Palm Beach are full of arched openings. Standard catalog impact doors simply won’t fit those rough-openings. A builder-grade crew either refuses the job or starts hacking out original stone surrounds, which is an ARCOM violation and a permanent loss of historic character. Our custom door shop fabricates impact-rated units to match existing arch geometry exactly, then we handle the design review and the town permit so the finished installation looks like it has always been there.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. On Palm Beach jobs, we most often quote Milgard, Jeld-Wen, and Ply Gem alongside the impact-rated lines from PGT and CGI, because those manufacturers produce the Florida Product Approval documentation the town and your insurer both require. We stock local parts for Palm Beach customers, so ordering a replacement hinge or a weatherstripping set doesn’t mean waiting two weeks for a shipment from out of state. If a brand from Milgard or Jeld-Wen is on your current door, chances are we can service it or source a direct replacement without starting from scratch.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes

• Arched openings that don’t match any catalog door. Mizner-era entries were custom-built to the inch, and no modern standard door fits. The fix is custom fabrication, not trimming the stone surround, which ARCOM will flag immediately.
• Salt-air corrosion on hinges, rollers, and frames. Palm Beach sits on a barrier island less than half a mile wide between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, so hardware gets hit with salt spray from both sides. Inland-grade aluminum and standard weatherstripping fail within two years here. Marine-grade stainless and compression seals are the minimum, not an upsell.
• Missing town permit after ARCOM approval. Some contractors stop after design review. Without the separate town permit, the impact-rating documentation can be challenged, and an insurance claim after a storm may be denied. We pull both, in sequence, every time.
• Doors that bind in July. Humidity and heat move wood and metal at different rates. A door that fits fine in January can stick by midsummer. We cut and set thresholds with Palm Beach’s seasonal swing in mind so the door operates the same in August as it does in February.
