AfterTrusted Door Installation for Palm Beach Gardens Homeowners
A door that binds in July or lets AC bleed into a Palm Beach Gardens afternoon is not something you learn to live with. It is a problem that gets worse, and in a coastal climate, it gets worse fast. We install entry doors, French doors, bifolds, pivot doors, storm doors, and custom arched units the way they should have been set the first time: square, sealed, and covered by a warranty that is registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. Dale Kessler founded TruePane Windows & Doors on a simple rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We have served Palm Beach Gardens homeowners since 2008 through that heritage, and a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day at (772) 794-8169.
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Every door we install in Palm Beach Gardens starts with the same step: we measure the opening twice, check the rough framing for square, and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. Here is what we do across each door type.
Entry & Swing Doors
Your front door is the first thing you touch every morning and the last thing you close at night. A swing door that drags on the threshold or shows daylight at the jamb is telling you the slab is out of plane or the hinges are carrying weight they were never meant to hold. We install entry & swing doors in fiberglass, steel, and wood, set the frame with shims rather than foam alone, and adjust the reveal until the gap is even on all three sides. A properly set entry door closes with one hand and seals against Palm Beach Gardens humidity without forcing the latch.
Double & French Doors
Double doors fail at the meeting stile more often than any other point. When two slabs are hung without accounting for how the weight settles, the astragal gaps, the lock misaligns, and the doors start fighting each other within a season. We set double & French doors with an eye on both slabs as one system, align the active and passive leaves, and adjust the hardware so the locking points engage without lifting the handle. Whether the opening leads to a patio in Frenchman’s Creek or a side garden in Mirasol, the doors should open like they were milled yesterday.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and multi-panel folding doors are the most demanding installations we do. A four-panel folding wall can weigh several hundred pounds, and if the track is off by an eighth of an inch, the panels bind, scrape, or refuse to stack cleanly. We install bifold & folding door systems with laser-leveled tracks, roller carriages adjusted per panel weight, and drip sills flashed so a driving summer storm does not walk water under the threshold. The result is a wall that folds open to the pool and closes against the weather the way the manufacturer intended.
Pivot Doors
A pivot door carries its entire weight on a top and bottom hinge instead of side hinges, which is why it can be eight feet tall and still swing with one finger. That also means the pivot point has to be set with a precision that side-hinge doors forgive. We install pivot doors with reinforced header blocking, machined pivot plates, and slab adjustments that keep the door balanced through seasonal movement. Done right, a pivot door is a statement. Done wrong, it is a sagging slab that scrapes the floor every time the Gulf breeze shifts.
Storm Doors
A storm door is not a second door. It is a shield that takes the direct hit of sun, salt air, and driving rain so your main entry does not have to. In Palm Beach Gardens, the sun beats on the east and south exposures hardest, and a cheap storm door will warp or discolor within two years. We install storm doors with tempered glass, self-closing mechanisms adjusted for wind speed, and frames anchored into solid jamb stock rather than decorative brickmold. The door should close against the latch every time, not bounce off a wind gust and hang half open.
Arched & Custom Doors
Arched and custom doors are where a second-generation glazier earns the title. A factory door comes with a radius that may or may not match the rough opening the original builder left behind. We template every arch before ordering, fabricate or source radius jambs to match the exact curve, and set arched & custom doors with the same patience whether they are finished mahogany or impact-rated fiberglass. In neighborhoods like Old Palm and Bay Hill Estates, the door has to fit the house without looking like it was forced into place. We measure every opening twice before a single dollar changes hands on the order.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, which means we can quote, PGT, and CGI side by side on paper and let you see the difference in writing. When it comes to PGT, we know their impact-rated door systems in detail; we understand the anchoring schedules for their WinGuard and ClassicVue lines, and we have installed them across enough Palm Beach Gardens homes to know how they handle a coastal exposure. With Jeld-Wen, we have worked with their Aurand and Siteline product families and stock common replacement components so a warped or failed door does not leave you waiting on a backorder. If your home carries a Simonton door from an earlier install, we can service it, adjust it, and if replacement is the honest answer, quote Simonton side by side with equivalent lines so you are comparing costs and materials on equal terms.
Whether you have a PGT, Jeld-Wen, Simonton, or any other make hanging in your opening today, we can help. What matters more than the sticker on the edge of the slab is how the previous installer set it. We have rebuilt openings where a good door was ruined by bad framing, and we have salvaged openings where a mid-grade door was set so well it performed for twenty years. The brand matters. The installation matters more.
Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now
- Visible daylight around the door slab. If you can see light through the gap between the door and the jamb when it is closed, the weather seal has failed or the slab is warped. That gap is how Palm Beach Gardens heat, humidity, and rain get into your home, and it is also how your AC bill quietly climbs every month.
- The door scrapes, binds, or needs to be lifted to latch. A door that drags on the threshold or requires you to pull up on the handle to engage the lock is telling you the hinges are worn or the frame has shifted. Ignoring it does not buy time. It accelerates the wear until the screws pull out of the jamb and the door drops for good.
- Condensation or fog between glass panes. If your door has an insulated glass unit and it fogs inside, the seal has failed. There is no repair for a blown seal; the glass unit has to be replaced. Left alone, the fog turns to permanent staining and the door loses whatever energy rating it once had.
- Rust, rot, or swelling at the bottom rail. Coastal salt air and summer downpours work on door bottoms all year. If the bottom rail is soft, rusted, or swollen, water has already found its way past the finish. We see this pattern regularly in waterfront communities like Admirals Cove and Lost Tree Village, where the southeast exposure eats door frames faster than inland homes.
- The door slams on its own or will not stay where you put it. A door that swings closed by itself or hangs open when you release it is out of balance. That means the frame is not level, the hinges are binding, or the slab itself is warped. The fix is almost never a new handle set. It is re-hanging the door on a true jamb.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measure and document the opening. We measure the rough opening height, width, and depth in three places each, note any out-of-square condition, and check the subfloor and header for level. We take the existing door’s swing, hinge locations, and threshold details into account so the new door fits the way the opening actually is, not the way a spec sheet assumes it should be.
- 2
Quote manufacturer lines on paper. We show you the options side by side, with the warranty layers stated in writing and the price of each line clearly separated. You are not asked to choose between a vague “good, better, best” and a shrug. You see materials, glass packages, hardware, and labor as separate line items.
- 3
Prep the opening before the slab arrives. We remove the old door without damaging surrounding trim or siding, inspect the rough framing for rot or termite damage, and rebuild any compromised jamb stock before the new door goes in. Hiding a rotten king stud behind a new door is how we earned our name. TruePane does not do it.
- 4
Set the door true. The new slab is set with shims, not spray foam alone, and checked with a four-foot level on both jambs and the header. We adjust the hinge screws so they bite into framing, set the reveal even on all three sides, and operate the door at least a dozen times before we call it hanging. If the latch does not engage smoothly every time, the job is not done.
- 5
Register warranties and walk the finished job. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we pull away from your driveway, and we hand you a copy of the registration along with the installation details. Then we walk the finished door with you, show you how the hardware operates, and answer any question you have. You do not sign off until you have opened and closed it yourself.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in Palm Beach Gardens?
Door installation in Palm Beach Gardens typically falls into ranges that depend on the door type and the condition of the opening. A basic entry door with a pre-hung fiberglass slab and simple hardware runs roughly $1,800 to $3,500 installed. A mid-range double French door with energy-efficient glass and better hardware moves into the $4,000 to $7,500 range. Custom pivot doors, large bifold assemblies, and arched units with impact-rated glass start around $8,000 and climb based on slab size, finish, and hardware selection. Storm doors are the most affordable line item, usually landing between $600 and $1,800 depending on glass and frame material.
What moves the price up is rarely the door itself. Rotted framing, an out-of-square rough opening, old construction that requires custom flashing, and the need to match interior trim all add labor. What moves it down is an opening in good shape and a homeowner who is not changing the swing or widening the rough opening. The way to avoid overpaying is to get a written line-item quote that separates materials from labor, and to ask whether the warranty registration is included. Our free estimate includes the measurement, a written quote, and a straight answer on whether your existing opening will take a standard slab or needs custom work.
