Your front door is the primary barrier between your home and the Florida climate. In Royal Palm Beach, this means dealing with intense UV exposure, high humidity, and the corrosive nature of salt air. We founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008 because we saw too many homeowners settling for big-box store doors that failed within five years. As a second-generation glazier, Dale Kessler established our company on a simple principle: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Whether you need Pivot Doors to make a statement, a high-impact entry door to meet local building codes, or a simple swing door replacement for a patio area, we provide the technical expertise to ensure the job is done right the first time.
We are not a franchise, and we do not use regional call centers. When you call us, you speak with a live person who understands the local housing market. We encourage you to review our full range of services on our home page or learn more about our broader Door Installation in Royal Palm Beach to see how we handle openings throughout the county.
When You Need Entry & Swing Doors
Replacing an entry or swing door is rarely just about aesthetics. In our climate, specific symptoms usually indicate that the door has reached the end of its functional life. If you notice these issues, it is often more cost-effective to replace the unit than to attempt repeated repairs.
- Binding or Rubbing: If your door scrapes against the threshold or the frame, it is often due to the house settling or the door material warping in the humidity. This puts excessive stress on the hinges and the locking mechanism.
- Drafts and Light Leaks: If you can see daylight around the edges of your door when it is closed, your weatherstripping has failed. This allows conditioned air to escape and hot, humid air to enter, which forces your HVAC system to work harder.
- Corrosion or Rust: In Royal Palm Beach, salt air is a constant factor. If you see rust on your hinges, strike plates, or the door itself, the structural integrity is compromised. We often see this with steel doors that have not been properly maintained.
- Hardware Failure: If your deadbolt sticks or the handle feels loose, the internal locking mechanism may be failing. For your security, this should be addressed immediately.
- Seal Failure: If you have a door with glass inserts and see fogging or condensation between the panes, the insulated glass unit has lost its seal. This cannot be repaired; the glass or the entire door must be replaced.
- Rot at the Jamb: Florida humidity is hard on wood frames. If the base of your door jamb feels soft or spongy, it is a sign of water intrusion and rot, which can spread into your subfloor if left unaddressed.
Our Entry & Swing Doors Process
We approach every installation with the same rigor. We do not believe in short-term fixes. Our process is designed to ensure that the door operates correctly for decades, not just until the next storm season.
- Detailed Measurement: We do not rely on rough estimates. Our uniformed technicians measure every opening twice. We account for the level of the subfloor, the squareness of the frame, and the specific clearance requirements of your home.
- Side-by-Side Quoting: We are an authorized installer for brands like, and PGT. We provide quotes on paper that show you exactly what you are paying for, comparing different manufacturer lines so you understand the differences in energy efficiency and impact resistance.
- The Keystone Standard: Before our truck leaves your driveway, we register both warranty layers-the manufacturer’s warranty and our workmanship guarantee-in writing. You will never have to fight with paperwork later.
- Professional Installation: We remove the old unit, inspect the rough opening for any hidden rot or structural issues, and install the new door with proper flashing and shimming. We ensure the door is plumb, level, and square.
- Final Inspection: We test the operation, the seal, and the locking mechanism with you. We do not leave until the door operates smoothly and you are satisfied with the installation.
The Importance of Material Selection in Florida
The material you choose for your entry door has a direct impact on how long it lasts in Royal Palm Beach. We generally guide homeowners toward materials that resist our specific environmental challenges.
Fiberglass: This is often the best choice for Florida homes. It does not warp, rot, or rust. High-quality fiberglass doors from manufacturers like PGT or Andersen can mimic the look of wood without the maintenance requirements. They are highly energy-efficient and stand up well to the intense sun we see here.
Steel: Steel doors are strong and provide excellent security. However, in our humid environment, they require high-quality factory finishes to prevent rust. If you live very close to the coast, we are cautious about recommending steel unless it has a specialized marine-grade coating.
Impact-Rated Doors: Given our location, many homeowners opt for impact-rated doors or Storm Doors. These are built with reinforced frames and laminated glass designed to withstand windborne debris. They provide peace of mind during hurricane season and often qualify for insurance discounts.
Entry & Swing Doors Pricing in Royal Palm Beach
We believe in upfront pricing. You will never find surprise line items on our bills. The cost of a door replacement depends on the size of the opening, the material, and the hardware chosen. Below are the typical ranges for our standard installations.
| Service Type | Estimated Price Range |
|---|---|
| Standard Steel Entry Door (Replacement) | $1,800 - $2,800 |
| High-End Fiberglass Entry Door | $2,500 - $4,200 |

| Custom Sidelite or Transom Add-on | $600 - $1,500 per unit |
Please note that these are base ranges. The final cost depends on whether the existing frame needs repair, the complexity of the hardware (such as multi-point locking systems), and the specific finish requirements. We offer free estimates for all projects. Call (386) 251-6745 to schedule a time for us to come out, measure your opening, and provide a firm, written quote.
FAQs - Entry & Swing Doors
How much does it cost to replace an entry door in Royal Palm Beach?
Most entry door replacements in the area cost between $1,800 and $4,200, depending on the material and whether you require impact-rated glass. We provide free, accurate estimates after we inspect the opening to ensure no hidden rot exists in the frame. Call (386) 251-6745 to get a quote tailored to your specific home.
Is it cheaper to repair a door or replace it?
If the issue is simply hardware, such as a handle or a hinge, a repair is often the most cost-effective choice. However, if the door is binding due to frame rot or if the seal has failed on a glass insert, replacement is almost always the smarter long-term investment. Repairing a rotten frame is rarely a permanent solution, and we do not want to charge you for work that will not last. Call us to have a technician assess whether a repair is viable or if replacement is necessary.
Can you match the style of my existing door?
Yes, we work with over a dozen manufacturers, including Pella, Andersen, and Marvin, to find a door that matches your home’s aesthetic. We can help you select the right profile, finish, and hardware-including Arched & Custom Doors-to ensure the new door looks like it was part of the original design. Our goal is to provide a solution that improves the value and appearance of your home.
Why is professional installation important for entry doors?
Entry doors are heavy and must be installed perfectly level and plumb to function correctly and provide a tight seal. If a door is installed incorrectly, it can bind, leak air, or fail to latch properly, which is a major security risk. Furthermore, proper flashing is critical in Florida to prevent water from seeping behind the door and causing structural damage to your home. Our technicians are trained to handle the weight and technical requirements of these installations, ensuring your door is safe and secure. Call (386) 251-6745 to ensure your door is installed by professionals.
Safety and Professional Installation
We must emphasize that entry and swing doors are heavy, complex components of your home’s structure. Improper installation can lead to doors that do not latch, which compromises your home’s security, or doors that allow water intrusion during heavy rains. Additionally, the handling of large glass units and heavy steel or fiberglass slabs requires specific tools and experience. We strongly recommend against attempting these installations as a DIY project. Our team is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to handle the heavy lifting and precise adjustments required to make your door operate smoothly. If you have concerns about the safety or functionality of your current door, please reach out to us at (386) 251-6745 for a professional assessment.
We stand behind our work. With the Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard, you have the assurance that your door will perform as expected.
