AfterEntry & Swing Doors in Palm Beach, FL
Replacing an entry or swing door in Palm Beach typically costs between $1,200 and $4,500, depending on the material, impact-rating requirements, and whether the frame needs structural adjustment. We provide precise, upfront quotes after measuring your opening twice, ensuring the door fits the frame perfectly to prevent the binding and air leaks common in our humid, salt-heavy climate. If you are noticing light around your door frame or the handle is becoming difficult to latch, call us at (850) 801-5596 for an assessment.
At TruePane Windows & Doors, we believe that an entry door is more than just a threshold; it is the primary barrier between your home and the Florida elements. Founded in 2008 by Dale Kessler, our company has built a reputation on the principle that if the pane is not true, the job is not done. When you choose us for your Door Installation in Palm Beach, you are not getting a rushed, cookie-cutter installation. You are getting a team that understands the specific challenges of coastal living, where salt air corrodes hinges and high winds test the integrity of every seal.
We serve the Palm Beach area with a commitment to The Keystone Standard. This means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway, and every job is backed by our Done Right Promise. We do not use subcontractors or temporary labor. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed professionals who treat your home with the same respect they would show their own mother’s house. Whether you are looking at fiberglass, steel, or custom wood-clad options from manufacturers like CWS or ES Windows, we ensure the installation meets the local building codes required to keep your home safe and energy-efficient.
When You Need Entry & Swing Doors
In Palm Beach, storm doors and entry doors face constant stress from humidity, intense sun exposure, and the occasional tropical storm. Most homeowners wait until a door is failing completely before calling for service, but catching these signs early can prevent structural damage to the surrounding wall.
- The door binds or sticks in the summer: High humidity causes wood frames to expand and swell. If your door rubs against the header or the jamb during the warmer months, it indicates the door was not installed with the proper expansion gap for our local climate.
- Light is visible through the edges: If you can see daylight around the perimeter of your closed door, you are losing conditioned air and inviting pests inside. This is a clear sign that the weatherstripping has failed or the door slab has warped.
- The handle or lock mechanism is stiff: Salt air in Palm Beach is notorious for corroding internal locking components. If you have to lift or pull the door to get the deadbolt to engage, the door is sagging and putting undue stress on the hardware.
- The finish is peeling or chalking: Constant UV exposure breaks down paint and stain on exterior doors. If the finish is failing, the underlying material-especially wood-is absorbing moisture, which leads to rot and eventual failure of the door slab.
- You are planning a kitchen or patio renovation: Swing doors leading to a lanai or patio are often the first things to show age. Upgrading these to modern impact-rated units improves both your home’s security and its energy efficiency during the peak of summer.
If you recognize any of these issues, call (850) 801-5596. We provide honest evaluations rather than high-pressure sales pitches. If a repair can solve the issue, we will tell you. If a replacement is the only way to ensure your home remains secure, we will explain why.
Our Entry & Swing Doors Process
We follow a strict, multi-step process for every door installation. We do not skip steps, and we do not cut corners. Our goal is to install the door once and ensure it performs for decades.
- Detailed On-Site Measurement: We do not quote over the phone based on rough estimates. A technician visits your home to measure the rough opening, check for plumb and level in the existing wall, and inspect the threshold for rot or water damage.
- Side-by-Side Product Comparison: We present you with paper quotes for multiple manufacturer lines, such as ViewLux or ECO Window Systems. We explain the difference in materials, impact ratings, and warranty coverage so you know exactly what you are paying for.
- Preparation of the Opening: Before the new door is set, we ensure the sub-floor and framing are solid. If we find hidden rot or termite damage, we stop and discuss the repair with you immediately. We never seal over a problem.
- Precision Installation and Sealing: We set the door, shim it to perfection, and anchor it according to the manufacturer’s engineering specifications. We use high-quality sealants designed for the Florida climate to create a watertight barrier.
- Finishing Touches and Inspection: We install the hardware, adjust the sweep for a tight seal, and perform a final operation test. You will walk through the operation of the door with the lead technician before we consider the job complete.
- Warranty Registration: We register both manufacturer warranty layers for you on the spot. You receive the paperwork in writing, and our Done Right Promise is applied to the workmanship.

FAQs - Entry & Swing Doors
How long does it take to install a new entry door in Palm Beach?
Most standard entry door replacements are completed in a single visit, typically taking between four to six hours from arrival to completion. We arrive prepared with all necessary materials and tools, and we clean up the workspace thoroughly before we leave, ensuring your home is secure and tidy by the end of the day.
Is it better to repair or replace my swing door?
If the issue is limited to a loose hinge, failing weatherstripping, or a faulty lockset, a repair is often the most sensible path. However, if the door slab is warped, the frame is rotted from water intrusion, or the glass is fogged and losing its seal, replacement is usually more cost-effective. We provide honest advice based on the condition of your door, so call (850) 801-5596 for an assessment.
Do you offer impact-rated doors for hurricane protection?
Yes, we specialize in impact-rated entry and swing doors that meet the strict building codes required in Palm Beach.
