What makes door work different here isn’t the carpentry. It’s the water. Palm Beach Shores occupies the southern tip of Singer Island, a barrier island less than half a mile wide in places, with the Atlantic on the east and the Intracoastal on the west. Every door on this island takes salt from both directions. That changes what materials make sense, what hardware survives, and what the building inspector will ask for when you pull a permit.
Our Door Installation team works this island regularly. We know the mid-century floor plans, the concrete masonry walls, the original jalousie openings that were never meant to hold a modern impact-rated unit. We plan for what we’ll find before we start cutting.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach Shores’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane was founded by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler in 2008 out of a principle: out-of-true installs and voided warranties were problems worth fixing permanently. Years of community service sits behind that principle. We are not a franchise playbook operating out of a regional call center. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and answer our own phone.
Palm Beach Shores homeowners call us because we show up when we say, we write the quote on paper, and we register both warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. That is The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every door we hang. Every job carries our Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
We work in Palm Beach Shores every month. Our crews know the building department’s coastal high-velocity wind requirements, the specific product approvals inspectors look for on impact doors, and which manufacturer lines hold up best against dual-salt exposure. You can’t learn that from a spreadsheet. You learn it by pulling doors off mid-century island homes and seeing what the salt has done to the framing behind them.
Our Door Installation Services in Palm Beach Shores
Entry & Swing Doors
An Energy-Efficient Windows - Palm Beach Shores entry door is doing more than keeping people out. It’s your first line against wind-driven rain off the Atlantic and the first thing a building inspector checks after a storm. We install impact-rated swing doors with marine-grade hinges and stainless hardware as standard on this island, because we’ve seen what ocean air does to a zinc-plated hinge in two seasons. Most entry door installs here run $2,200 to $4,200 depending on panel construction, glass, and hardware.
Storm Doors
On Singer Island, a storm door protects your primary entry door from salt spray so the expensive impact-rated unit behind it lasts longer. We install vented storm doors for cross-breeze, full-view glass models, and retractable screen hybrids. West-facing homes along the Intracoastal need the same marine-grade hardware as oceanfront ones. Salt spray carries clear across the island. A typical storm door install in Palm Beach Shores runs $850 to $1,600.
Arched & Custom Doors
Mid-century Palm Beach Shores homes sometimes surprise us. An arched entry opening hidden behind a square retrofit, a custom radius door that was ordered decades ago and never quite seated right. We measure every opening twice, build custom arched and radius doors when the opening calls for it, and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. Custom work pricing starts around $2,800 and depends on the radius, the material, and the impact rating required.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are becoming more common on Singer Island as owners rebuild and modernize. They make a statement, but they also demand a level of precision in the rough opening that older island homes rarely provide without reframing. We handle the full build-out: structural assessment, reframing if needed, door installation, and flashing. Pivot door systems in Palm Beach Shores typically run $3,500 to $7,000 installed.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Shores Homes
- Salt-seized hardware on Intracoastal-side doors. We pull doors off west-facing homes on Inlet Way and Lake Drive and find hinges, locks, and threshold screws corroded solid within a few seasons. The owner didn’t downgrade anything. The salt just traveled farther than anyone expected.
- Undersized 1950s and 1960s rough openings. Original door frames on this island were built for thin jalousie or single-panel units. Modern impact-rated doors with laminated glass are heavier and thicker. The opening usually needs reframing, and that triggers a permit upgrade.
- Rotted framing discovered mid-installation. This is the one that moves quotes. Failed waterproofing around older door sills lets wind-driven rain and storm surge wick into the subfloor. We don’t cover it up. We reframe with pressure-treated lumber, flash the sill, and price the added scope in writing before we touch it.
- Wind-driven rain intrusion at the threshold. Even a perfectly hung door leaks if the sill pan and flashing are wrong. On a barrier island, wind pushes rain horizontally. We set sill pans with marine-grade flashing tape and slope thresholds so water drains away, not into the subfloor.

FAQs - Door Installation in Palm Beach Shores
Yes. Palm Beach Shores sits on Singer Island with the Atlantic on one side and the Lake Worth Lagoon/Intracoastal on the other. The island is narrow enough that prevailing Atlantic breezes carry salt spray clear across to the west side. We’ve replaced west-facing doors on Inlet Way where the original hinges and threshold screws had seized from Intracoastal-side salt exposure within a few seasons. Marine-grade stainless hardware is the standard on this island, regardless of which way the door faces. Call (386) 251-6745 for an on-site assessment.
We write an allowance into every Palm Beach Shores contract before we start. If we remove a door and find rotted framing, rusted steel lintels, or water-damaged subfloor, you get a written change order with the exact added scope and price. We reframe with pressure-treated lumber, flash the sill with marine-grade tape, and coordinate the permit inspection right away. You approve everything in writing before we proceed. No surprise charges appear on the final bill.
Palm Beach Shores falls under Palm Beach County’s coastal high-velocity wind zone, which requires Large Missile Impact-rated openings. Not every “impact” door qualifies. The product must carry a Florida Product Approval number for Large Missile standards, not Small Missile. We quote only approved units rated for this zone and register the manufacturer’s warranty layers in writing as part of The Keystone Standard. Call (386) 251-6745 to have your opening measured and the right product specified.
No. Replacing a door in Palm Beach Shores requires a permit, and for good reason. Original jalousie or single-panel openings from the 1950s and 1960s rarely meet current code for impact resistance, structural anchoring, or water management. Keeping the old rough opening and dropping in an impact-rated door doesn’t work because the framing is almost never sized for the heavier laminated glass unit. We pull the permit, reframe as needed, and coordinate the inspection. Call (386) 251-6745 for an honest read on your existing opening.
We treat every threshold on Singer Island as a direct wind-driven rain exposure. We set sill pans with marine-grade flashing tape, slope the threshold away from the structure, and seal the rough sill with polyurethane sealant before the door goes in. We also check the subfloor for rot before closing everything up, because water that’s been wicking in for years usually leaves damage behind. A proper threshold detail on an island home is the difference between a door that lasts 20 years and one that rots the floor in five.
If you have a door that binds in July, a threshold that leaks in a hard rain, or a jalousie opening you’re ready to upgrade, call (386) 251-6745 today. A live person answers, we’ll schedule your free estimate, and Dale Kessler’s standard stands: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
