AfterTrusted Door Installation for Royal Palm Beach Homeowners
A new door in Royal Palm Beach has to do more than open and close. It has to seal tight against Florida humidity, stand square when the summer heat swells the frame, and hold its weatherstripping through hurricane season. Door installation in Royal Palm Beach typically runs $450 to $3,800 depending on the door type, material, and whether the rough opening needs reframing, and most entry door replacements are completed in a single day. TruePane Windows & Doors has done this work since 2008, founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler in 2008 on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That same standard governs every door we hang. Call (386) 251-6745 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Every door we install in Royal Palm Beach gets measured twice before a single screw is set. We look at the rough opening, the slope of the floor, the condition of the existing jamb, and how the sun hits the door in the afternoon. Then we recommend the right product for the opening, not the product that is easiest to sell. Here is what that looks like across the types of doors homeowners ask us about most in Palm Beach County.
Entry & Swing Doors
An entry door is the first thing you touch when you come home and the first thing a guest notices. It is also the door most likely to bind in a Florida house because the frame expands and contracts with the humidity all year. We install fiberglass, steel, and wood entry & swing doors with proper shimming, level threshold installation, and weatherstripping that actually overlaps the sill. If your current door scrapes the jamb in July or lets light in around the edges in January, the frame was never set correctly in the first place. We fix that the first time, and our Done Right Promise covers it in writing if anything is off.
Double & French Doors
French doors and double entry doors fail at the meeting stile when the two leaves drift out of alignment. That gap in the center is where conditioned air leaks out and afternoon rain finds its way in. TruePane installs double & French doors with both leaves plumb and level, the astragal set to overlap correctly, and the hardware alignment checked with the doors fully closed and latched. We also check the floor for slope before installation because a double door hung on an unlevel floor will never close right no matter how many times you adjust the hinges.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and folding door systems are heavy, and the track has to carry that weight cleanly or the doors will bind, jump the rail, or sag at the far end. We install bifold & folding doors and multi-panel folding systems with the track anchored to structure, not just screwed to drywall, and the panels adjusted so they stack evenly without dragging. In Royal Palm Beach homes, these doors often open onto patios and pools, which means the bottom track also needs to shed water properly. We set the threshold and drainage so a summer downpour does not end up pooling inside the track.
Pivot Doors
A pivot door carries its entire weight on a single hinge point at the top and bottom instead of side hinges, which means the framing around that pivot has to be perfectly engineered. We install pivot doors only after verifying the floor structure and header can carry the load, using pivot hardware rated for the exact door weight and slab thickness. Most pivot doors we see in Royal Palm Beach are oversized, which makes the margin for error even smaller. The same measuring rule applies: twice at the rough opening, once at the finished door, and never a guess.
Storm Doors
A storm door is the workhorse door on the front of thousands of Royal Palm Beach houses, taking direct sun, rain, and the occasional palm frond during a squall. We install storm doors with the closer adjusted for wind resistance, the sweep set to the exact threshold height, and the latch aligned so it does not rattle. If you are replacing a storm door that was installed with self-tapping screws into a rotted brickmold, that is the real problem we solve: pulling the trim, repairing or replacing the substrate, and mounting the new door so it stays anchored.
Arched & Custom Doors
Arched and custom doors cannot be sized from a catalog, and the wrong opening measurement turns an expensive door into an expensive mistake. We template the exact radius of the arch, verify the rough opening in three places, and order the door from the manufacturer with the correct handing and sill profile. Arched & custom doors in Royal Palm Beach often go on homes that were built with unusual opening sizes, so the door has to be ordered to spec, not trimmed on site. Our team has the experience to catch the subtle issues before the door is ordered, not after it is on the truck.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and we have done hundreds of door installations across Royal Palm Beach and the surrounding communities. Pella makes a range of entry, patio, and storm doors, and we know their hinge systems, threshold details, and warranty registration process well enough to quote them side by side with other brands on paper. That side-by-side comparison is how our customers choose a door, not a sales pitch.
Andersen doors are another line we install regularly, including their Fibrex and wood entry systems. We have worked with Andersen long enough to know their finish tolerances and their hardware geometry, which means less time adjusting on site and fewer surprises after the install. ECO Window Systems come up often for homeowners who want high-performance impact-rated products, and we service those lines with the same standard applied to everything else we carry: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. Whatever make you have today, or whatever line you are considering, we can give you a square deal on paper.
Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now
- You can see daylight around the closed door. If light passes around the perimeter, air passes too. That means your air conditioner is running harder than it should, and the weatherseal has failed or the door was never set square. In Royal Palm Beach’s climate, that gap also lets in humid air that feeds mold and warps the jamb over time.
- The door sticks or scrapes during the summer. Florida humidity swells wood and stretches frames, and a door that only scrapes in July was not installed with enough clearance for the climate. Forcing a swollen door closed day after day worsens the hinge stress until the hinge screws start tearing out of the jamb.
- The threshold is rotted or spongy underfoot. A soft threshold means water has been getting in at the bottom of the door for a while, and by the time it feels soft, the rot usually extends into the subfloor. Replacing just the threshold without treating the rot below is a temporary fix. We repair the substrate properly before the new door goes in.
- The door latch will not engage without lifting or pulling the slab. When the strike plate no longer lines up with the latch, the door has dropped. That can be worn hinges, a shifted frame, or a sag in the header. Adjusting the striker buys you time, but the underlying problem is still there and it gets worse as the door’s weight keeps working against the frame.
- The glass in the door is fogged or the seal has failed. A fogged insulated glass unit in a door means the seal between the panes has broken and the thermal performance is gone. You are looking at a replacement glass pack or a new door, depending on the age and condition of the slab. We can walk you through both options and put the numbers down on paper.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
We measure the opening, the floor, and the existing jamb. Every opening gets three measurements across width, three across height, and a diagonal check for square. We also check the floor slope and the condition of the header and king studs. This is where problems get caught before they become change orders.
- 2
We put options on paper side by side. You see exactly what each door line costs, what the warranty covers, and how long the manufacturer backs it. No verbal hand-waving. If you are comparing Pella against Andersen against a local impact-rated line, you see the actual numbers and coverages next to each other.
- 3
We prepare the opening properly. The old door comes out, the rough opening gets inspected, and any rotted framing, brickmold, or subfloor is cut out and replaced with proper material. We shim and anchor the new jamb so the door is plumb, level, and square in the opening, not just close to it.
- 4
We hang the slab and set the hardware. Hinges get shimmed, the slab gets hung with the clearance needed for a Florida summer, and the lock, latch, and threshold get set so everything meets tight. We operate the door a dozen times before we call it done: closed, latched, deadbolted, swung open, let go mid-swing.
- 5
We register the warranties in writing and walk you through it. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered before we leave, with durations stated on paper, and the Done Right Promise covers the workmanship. That is The Keystone Standard. If anything is not right, call us and we make it right. No paperwork fights.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in Royal Palm Beach?
Door installation in Royal Palm Beach runs a wide range because the products and the openings vary so much. A basic storm door installation typically lands between $450 and $900 including labor and standard hardware. A fiberglass or steel entry door replacement usually runs $1,200 to $2,800 depending on the door line, glass options, and whether the brickmold or threshold needs rebuilding. French or double door installations commonly cost $2,500 to $4,500 when you include the slab set, hardware, and weatherseal, and custom or pivot doors can go higher due to the framing modifications and door cost itself. These are honest ranges, not quotes, because every opening tells a different story.
What moves the price most is the condition of the rough opening. If the framing is solid and the opening is square, the job is straightforward. If there is rot in the subfloor or the header has sagged, that work has to happen before any door can be installed correctly. The second driver is the door itself: impact-rated products from PGT or ECO Window Systems cost more than standard lines and carry higher performance ratings. The way to avoid overpaying is to get a line-item written estimate that separates the door cost from the labor and any opening repairs. That is exactly what we give you when you call. A free estimate from TruePane Windows & Doors includes the measurements, the findings from the opening inspection, and the numbers in writing. Call (386) 251-6745 to schedule yours.
Here is how common scenarios break down before we see the opening:
- Storm door install on an existing jamb: $450 to $900
- Standard entry door replacement, no reframing: $1,200 to $2,200
- Impact-rated entry door replacement: $2,000 to $3,400
- French or double door set, standard line: $2,500 to $3,800
- Custom or pivot door installation: $3,200 to $6,500+ depending on spec
Prices include labor, shims, insulation, interior trim where applicable, and the warranty registration paperwork. Exact numbers come after we see the opening. Estimates are free.

Frequently Asked Questions - Door Installation in Royal Palm Beach
Door installation means removing the old door and jamb, inspecting and preparing the rough opening, and setting a new door so it is plumb, level, square, and weathertight. In Royal Palm Beach’s humid climate, proper installation also means sealing and flashing the opening so hurricane-driven rain cannot find its way in around the jamb. TruePane does the full job: opening prep, door set, hardware adjustment, trim, and warranty registration in writing. We do not hang doors on existing rotted frames and call it done.
A standard entry door or storm door replacement is usually completed in one day, including removal of the old unit and cleanup. Double doors, French doors, and any job that requires reframing or subfloor repair typically run into a second day. Custom or pivot door installations take longer because the door itself is often built to order, and we will give you a clear schedule before we start. Call (386) 251-6745 for a time estimate on your specific door.
Most door installations in Royal Palm Beach run between $450 for a basic storm door and $4,500 or more for double, French, impact-rated, or custom doors. The final number depends on the door line, the condition of the rough opening, and whether rot repair or reframing is needed. We provide written line-item estimates so you see exactly what each part of the job costs before any work begins. That estimate is free, and the price does not change once work starts.
Yes, we install Pella and Andersen doors, along with ECO Window Systems, PGT, Milgard, Marvin, CGI, and several other lines. TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturers, so we can register both warranty layers in writing on any brand we set. We also service and replace doors from brands we did not originally install. If your door is not on the list, call (386) 251-6745 and tell us what you have.
If a door is broken, kicked in, or storm-damaged and the opening is not secure, we treat that as an urgent call and prioritize it. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so you do not have to wait on a callback to find out when someone can come. We will walk you through temporary securing steps over the phone and schedule the repair or replacement as fast as the opening allows. That line is always (386) 251-6745.
Every door we install is covered by The Keystone Standard, which means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing with durations stated before we leave the driveway. The workmanship is covered by our Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no fine print. We stand behind the door and the work, and we are still in town to answer the phone if something needs attention.
Clear the area around the door inside and out so the crew has room to work, and remove anything hanging on the door or near the opening. If you have pets, keep them in another part of the house during the installation. You do not need to move furniture in most single-door jobs. We take care of the old door disposal, and we leave the opening clean and weathertight when we leave.
