CGI Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Royal Palm Beach: What to Know First
CGI sliding glass and patio doors in Royal Palm Beach can be serviced, repaired, and replaced by an independent CGI service provider without voiding your original warranty when the work is done correctly. Most CGI sliding door repairs in this area run between $220 and $680 depending on the failure, and we typically complete the work in one visit. That is the straight answer. This page is for homeowners who own CGI doors, want them working right, and do not want a sales pitch dressed up as a diagnosis. If your CGI slider is binding, leaking, or getting hard to operate, call us at (386) 251-6745 and we will tell you what we think over the phone before anyone rolls a truck.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
We have worked on enough CGI doors in Royal Palm Beach to recognize the failure patterns before we even remove the first screw. Here is what we actually see:
- Roller seizure on CGI Estate Collection sliders. The original steel ball-bearing rollers on older Estate Series sliders corrode in our humid, salt-adjacent air. The door gets heavy, then it gouges the bottom track. We replace the rollers with stainless or sealed-bearing units rather than dropping in the same part that failed. That is the fix, not a repeat of the problem.
- Track wear on CGI 8000 Series doors. The 8000 Series uses a narrower track profile, and when a roller binds even slightly, the track takes the damage fast. Homeowners in Royal Palm Beach often mistake the grinding sound for a misaligned door. We measure the track with a straightedge, determine if it can be re-faced or needs a full track replacement, and give you the number before we start.
- Weep hole blockage on CGI sliding doors near the lake or canal. This one is a Royal Palm Beach signature. Wind-driven rain and debris from oak trees clog the weep system, and then water finds the interior channel. We clear the weep path, check the sill dam, and re-test with a hose before we leave. A cleaned weep hole fixes more “leaky” CGI doors than any sealant ever will.
- Glazing bead and gasket compression on CGI Sentry Series patio doors. After ten or more years of direct afternoon sun on a west-facing Royal Palm Beach home, the gasket material hardens and loses its compression set. That is when you get the faint whistle and the humidity bleed. We re-glaze and re-gasket with materials rated for our UV load, not the generic hardware-store stuff.
- Handle and multi-point lock fatigue on CGI doors that get heavy daily use. The mortise lock on a CGI slider takes a beating in a home where the door to the patio is the main entrance. We carry OEM CGI hardware for common failures and quality aftermarket equivalents where the OEM part has been discontinued. We will tell you which is which and why.
Our CGI Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process
Every CGI door job follows the same sequence, from the first phone call to the final test. It is not complicated because we do not skip steps.
- 1
The call. A live person answers. You tell us what the door is doing. We ask the right questions: Which way does it bind, when did the sound start, has water ever pooled on the sill. That conversation alone resolves a surprising number of calls.
- 2
The measure and diagnosis. A uniformed, background-checked tech arrives on schedule and measures the opening twice. The door gets opened, lifted, inspected, and the rollers, track, gaskets, and hardware all get looked at in daylight.
- 3
The parts decision. We show you the failed part. If OEM CGI parts are available and warranty-safe, we use them. If an OEM part is backordered or discontinued, we explain the aftermarket option and its trade-offs in plain terms before you spend a dollar.
- 4
The repair. The work gets done in your driveway or on your patio, most jobs in one visit. We do not leave a second appointment hanging.
- 5
The test. We run the door through its full travel at least a dozen times, check the seal with a feeler gauge, and spray the threshold to confirm water drains the way CGI designed it to.
- 6
The paperwork. Both warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves. You get the manufacturer documentation and our Done Right Promise in hand.
What CGI Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Costs in Royal Palm Beach
Here are the numbers we quote most often, and they are honest ranges, not a bait opener.
- Roller replacement, one panel: $220-$380
- Track repair or re-facing: $280-$520
- Weep system clearing and sill re-seal: $180-$350
- Gasket and glazing bead replacement: $300-$650
- Full multi-point lock and handle replacement: $340-$680
- Complete CGI slider replacement (materials and install): $2,800-$6,500 depending on size and impact rating
What moves the price: the series, the size of the panel, how long the failure has been ignored, and whether the door is an impact-rated unit. A door that has been grinding for a year will cost more to make right than one caught early.

Why Royal Palm Beach Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CGI Work
We have been doing this work in Royal Palm Beach long enough that our name gets passed from neighbor to neighbor, and that is the advertising we trust. Dale Kessler, our founder, grew up off Crestwood Boulevard and learned glazing at Palm Beach State College. The Done Right Promise means what it says: if it is not done right, we make it right, no paperwork and no arguing. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. We are an independent CGI service provider, not a factory arm, which means we give you the straight diagnosis and the best fix, whether that is a CGI part or a quality aftermarket alternative. And if the door is beyond saving, we quote you side by side: PGT, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and CGI all on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. If it is not sealed right, the next storm will tell you. We would rather you never have to find that out.
FAQs
No, a properly performed repair by a qualified independent service provider does not void your CGI warranty. What voids a warranty is using non-specified parts or installing them incorrectly. We use OEM CGI parts wherever available and register both warranty layers in writing before we leave.
We answer the phone live, 24 hours a day, and for a CGI door that will not secure or is letting water in, we will typically get a technician to your Royal Palm Beach home the same day or the next morning depending on when you call. Call (386) 251-6745 and we will give you a straight answer.
We stock the most common CGI rollers, handles, and lock components for the Estate, 8000, and Sentry series. If a part is not on our truck, we will tell you the honest lead time and give you the choice of a proper OEM wait or a specified aftermarket part that fits correctly today.
If the frame is structurally sound and the glass has no seal failure, repair is usually the smarter money. A roller and track refresh runs a few hundred dollars and can add a decade of service life. If the frame is bowed, the glass fogged, or the impact rating no longer matches your insurance requirements, replacement starts at $2,800. We will quote both options on paper and let you decide with real numbers in front of you.
No. The price we quote before the job is the price you pay when the job is done. We do not run change orders, and we do not find surprise line items once the door is apart. That is a square deal, and it is how we have done business in Royal Palm Beach since 2008.
