AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Lake Park
Door installation in Lake Park usually means more than hanging a slab. On the town’s 1940s-1960s concrete block homes along Lake Worth Lagoon, we routinely find the old frame has corroded into the rough opening, and pulling it damages the block behind it. That’s the real job. TruePane Windows & Doors has been doing this kind of work long enough to price it honestly before we start, not after the wall is open. Call (772) 794-8169 for a free estimate, and a live person will answer.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lake Park’s Preferred Door Installation Company
We are a second-generation glazier’s outfit founded by Dale Kessler in 2008, and we carry years of trade heritage. The work is done by background-checked, uniformed technicians who measure every opening twice and write quotes side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying. No change orders slipped in at the end. No unregistered warranty paperwork.
Lake Park is a small town where word travels fast. We’ve worked on enough homes here to know that a door replacement on a CBS house near the Lagoon rarely stays simple. Our crews show up expecting corroded jamb legs, missing flashing, and block that crumbles when the old frame comes out. That expectation is what keeps our numbers honest and our callbacks rare.
The Done Right Promise covers every door we set. If it isn’t right, we make it right. That’s the Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami area office; our crews serve Lake Park locally.
Our Door Installation Services in Lake Park
Entry & Swing Doors
Most entry doors on Lake Park’s CBS homes are original mill-finish aluminum that has spent fifty or sixty years in salt air. The hinges bind, the threshold rots, and the jamb is often so pitted it won’t hold a longer screw. We replace the entire unit rather than hanging a new slab on a compromised frame. Every new entry door we set is impact-rated for Palm Beach County’s coastal wind zone, as code requires, and flashed with new tape and a sill pan before the casing goes back. In Lake Park, a standard impact-rated entry door replacement on an existing opening typically runs $1,800-$3,600 depending on size, glass, and how much of the rough opening needs rebuilding.
Double & French Doors
Double doors are common on Lake Park ranch homes where a patio faces the Lagoon or a screened porch wraps around the back. The old units are almost never impact-rated, and the center mullion has usually sagged enough that the two leaves no longer meet in the middle. We rebuild the header, set a new mullion post when required, and install a pair that both seals and latches. In Lake Park, expect $3,200-$6,800 for a standard impact-rated double door replacement, and more if the header needs structural work.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and folding door systems are growing in Lake Park, especially on homes where owners want a wide opening between the living room and a Lagoon-side patio. These are heavier than a conventional door, so the floor track and the top rail both need to be dead level and anchored into sound structure. On older CBS homes, we often have to add blocking or epoxy-set anchors into the block before the first panel hangs. A typical bifold door installation in Lake Park runs $4,500-$9,500 depending on panel count, glazing, and framing prep.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are a statement piece, and a few Lake Park homeowners have been asking for them on mid-century homes where a wide, single-panel entry suits the architecture. The catch is that a pivot door puts all its weight on the floor hinge and the top strap, so the surrounding structure has to be solid. On a 1950s CBS wall, that can mean reinforcing the block or adding a steel post. Pivot door installation in Lake Park typically falls between $3,800 and $8,200 with hardware, depending on panel material and structural work. Our Door Installation team handles these with the same square-deal pricing as a standard entry door.
Storm Doors
A storm door on a Lake Park home does double duty: it catches the salt air before it hits your main entry door, and it lets you keep the cross-breeze through the house without throwing the deadbolt open. We set storm doors with heavy-gauge aluminum frames and tight sill seals, because the wind off the Lagoon will find any gap and whistle through it. Storm door installation in Lake Park generally runs $650-$1,500 including the door, hardware, and weather sealing.
Arched & Custom Doors
A number of Lake Park’s 1950s homes still have arched entry openings, and some owners want that line preserved or brought back. Arched and custom doors are milled to match the opening, not the other way around. We measure the radius at three points, order from manufacturers like PGT and CGI, and set the door into a rebuilt jamb that follows the curve. Custom arched door work in Lake Park typically costs $3,000-$7,500 depending on species, glazing, and impact rating.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lake Park
We install and service doors from PGT, CGI, Ply Gem, and more than a dozen other manufacturer lines. For Lake Park customers, that means we can quote impact-rated and non-impact options side by side on paper, and we can pull parts for warranty service without a weeks-long wait. When a PGT or CGI door on a Lagoon-side home develops a hinge or gasket problem, we’re familiar with those exact units and what they do in this climate. We stock common weatherstripping, threshold, and hardware components for brands we regularly install in Lake Park.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Lake Park Homes
- Frames corroded into the rough opening. On homes built before 1970, the original aluminum door frame has often fused to the CBS block through decades of salt air. Removal chunks the surrounding block, and the opening needs masonry patching before the new door can even be set.
- Non-impact legacy doors failing current code. Any permitted door replacement in Lake Park must meet Palm Beach County’s wind-load requirements. An old door that predates those codes won’t pass final inspection, and the homeowner inherits the rework cost if it wasn’t caught early.
- Disintegrated flashing and missing sill pans. Flashing tape and sill pans from original installs have broken down under decades of moisture. Water gets behind the casing, rots the jamb legs, and the first sign is often a door that won’t close square in July.
- Jambs too far gone to re-use. A door slab might be fine. The frame it hangs on usually isn’t. We rarely hang a new slab in an old Lake Park jamb without first confirming the wood or aluminum is sound enough to hold hinge screws for twenty more years.
Pricing for Door Installation in Lake Park, FL
Every job starts with a written, line-item quote. Here’s what door work in Lake Park typically costs:
- Entry and swing door replacement: $1,800-$3,600
- Double or French door replacement: $3,200-$6,800
- Bifold and folding door installation: $4,500-$9,500
- Pivot door installation: $3,800-$8,200
- Storm door installation: $650-$1,500
- Arched or custom door: $3,000-$7,500
The range is honest because Lake Park houses vary. A door on a well-maintained 1980s addition will run near the low end. The same door on a 1955 CBS home where the jamb has fused into salt-corroded block will run higher because the rough opening needs masonry patching and new flashing before the door goes in. That patching is not a hidden fee; we write it into the quote when we see it during the estimate, and if we find more behind the casing mid-install, we stop, show you what we found, and get your written approval on the added cost before we touch it. Estimates are free. Call (772) 794-8169 for a quote.

FAQs - Door Installation in Lake Park
Because the permit review pulls in current Florida Building Code requirements that the original 1950s or 1960s wall was never built to meet. When we open the wall around a door on a CBS home, the inspector is looking at wind-load anchoring, flashing, and sometimes waterproofing around the opening. The old house often fails on more than just the door, and the repair scope widens. That’s why we inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and price any surprise in writing before we proceed. Call (772) 794-8169 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home is likely to need.
We stop, show you the problem, and hand you a written price for the additional work before we touch it. No work proceeds on a change without your approval, and the original quote stays separate from the change order. In Lake Park, the most common surprise is corroded framing or missing flashing behind the old door, and we’ve done enough of these to spot most of it before we even start. The Done Right Promise still covers whatever we do, even when the scope grows.
Yes, impact-rated doors are required. Palm Beach County’s wind-load code applies to every opening in the building envelope, including entry doors, French doors, and side lights. Lake Park sits in a coastal exposure zone where design wind speeds reach 160 mph or more, and a permitted door replacement must meet that standard or the inspection fails. We only install impact-rated units on permitted work, and we register both warranty layers in writing before we leave.
The big one is block patching. On Lake Park’s CBS homes, the original jalousie or mill-finish aluminum frame is often corroded so deeply into the rough opening that removal pulls chunks of concrete block and stucco with it. Masonry patching runs $400-$1,200 depending on how much block needs to be rebuilt and how much stucco has to match the surrounding wall. Flashing replacement and sill pan installation add another $150-$450 on most jobs. We quote all of that up front when we can see it. Call (772) 794-8169 for an exact number on your door.
Usually the frame has to go. On a 60-year-old Lake Park home, the jamb legs are often too corroded, rotted, or out of square to hold hinge screws, and a new slab won’t fix a frame that’s pulling away from the block. We will tell you if your jamb is sound enough to re-use, and we won’t sell you a new frame if you don’t need one. The decision comes down to what we find when we measure, and we measure twice. For a free evaluation, call (772) 794-8169.
