CGI Door Installation in Royal Palm Beach: What to Know First
CGI door installation in Royal Palm Beach costs between $1,800 and $9,500 depending on the product line, opening size, and whether the existing frame can be reused. We install entry and swing doors, double and French doors, bifold and folding doors, pivot doors, storm doors, and arched or custom CGI doors as an independent CGI service provider, not a factory-authorized arm of the manufacturer. Most installations finish in one visit, and every job carries our Done Right Promise with both warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway.
This page is written for homeowners in Royal Palm Beach who already own or have ordered a CGI door and need it set right the first time. If that describes you, call (386) 251-6745 and a live person will answer, day or night.
How CGI Products Fail, and How We Fix Them
CGI builds heavy, code-rated impact doors, and when they fail, they fail differently than lighter residential doors from national lines. We see the same patterns across Royal Palm Beach homes, and the causes are usually correctable during installation if the installer knows what to look for before the door goes in.
- Binding at the latch or hinges on west-facing walls. CGI’s steel-reinforced frames expand in the afternoon heat, especially on homes where the door faces west and soaks sun from noon onward. If the rough opening was not shimmed for frame deflection, the door binds every July. We measure the opening at three points, shim for the known movement, and set the hinge geometry so the door swings clean through the worst of the summer.
- Fogging in architecturally shaped lites on arched and custom doors. Curved and arched CGI glass units occasionally lose their seal early, particularly when the sash was racked during the original install. The insulated glass gets stressed at the corners, and moisture creeps in. We catch racking before the door is fastened and re-glaze any lite that shows early condensation, using OEM glass whenever the warranty has any life left in it.
- Water wicking under the sill on entry doors that face dense landscaping. Royal Palm Beach yards with heavy mulch beds or irrigation heads pointed at the doorway will expose a poor sill flashing job within one wet season. CGI sills are well-built, but the pan flashing beneath them has to be lapped correctly or water finds the threshold. We pull the sill, inspect the substrate, and re-flash with tape and sealant that hold under standing water.
- Roller and track wear on large bi-fold and folding CGI doors. Multi-panel folding doors carry real weight, and the factory rollers are a wear item, not a lifetime part. When they start to grind or the panel sags, it is usually misalignment from the first day, not defective hardware. We reset the track and carrier alignment, replace the rollers with either OEM or heavier-duty aftermarket carriers, and tune each panel so it folds clean.
- Stripped threshold screws on storm doors in older slabs. The concrete under many Royal Palm Beach entryways drilled in the 1990s has softened at the surface, and standard fasteners will not bite. We drill deeper, epoxy-set stainless anchors, and install the door with fixings that resist the salt air that arrives with every tropical system.
Our CGI Door Installation Process
Every CGI door we install in Royal Palm Beach follows the same steps, so there is no guesswork about what happens on the day we arrive.
- 1
Call and measure. You call (386) 251-6745. We schedule a time, arrive uniformed and background-checked, and measure the opening twice, including the rough opening, floor slope, and existing jamb condition.
- 2
Parts and warranty decision. We review the CGI door model and its warranty status, then quote OEM versus quality aftermarket hardware side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are paying for.
- 3
Opening preparation. We check the substrate, repair or replace any rotted or soft framing, and set flashing and sill pans for drainage, not just coverage.
- 4
Installation. We set the door, shim for the frame’s expected movement in Royal Palm Beach heat, and anchor it with fasteners suited to the slab or rough opening we are working with.
- 5
Test and tune. The door gets cycled open and shut repeatedly, latching checked, threshold seal tested. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- 6
Documentation and cleanup. Both warranty layers are registered in writing before our truck leaves. The work area is swept and the old door, if we removed it, goes with us unless you tell us otherwise.

FAQs
Yes, in most cases CGI’s warranty language requires installation by a licensed professional, and improper installation is the most common cause of a denied claim. Call (386) 251-6745 before you pull the old door off the hinges so we can confirm what you own and what its warranty actually covers.
We use OEM parts whenever the door is still under warranty, because that protects your coverage. When the warranty has expired, we will show you OEM and aftermarket options side by side on paper with exact prices, and let you choose based on facts rather than a parts counter guess.
Most single entry doors are installed in one visit, usually four to six hours including cleanup. Larger multi-panel bifold doors or custom arched units may take a day and a half depending on substrate conditions. We will tell you the expected timeline in writing before work starts.
We do both. If the door itself is warped, delaminating, or has a failed insulated lite, we will tell you plainly whether replacement makes more sense than re-installation. We will not recommend a new door when the existing one can be set right and warranted.
A door that will not latch is a security issue, and we treat it that way. You will talk to a live person when you call (386) 251-6745, and we will schedule the work promptly with our standard Done Right Promise on every installation or repair.
