CGI Door Installation: The Delray Beach Owner’s Guide

If you have a CGI door with a failed part, here’s the straight answer: we install CGI-compatible hardware, weatherstripping, hinges, and replacement components throughout Delray Beach, with most parts installed in a single visit. Typical installed costs run $85 to $350 depending on the part and the door series. Homeowners usually discover the problem the way you just did, a door that drags, a latch that will not catch, or a seal that lets afternoon rain blow in under the threshold.

CGI builds heavy doors, and Delray Beach’s salt air and summer humidity do not do them any favors. The frame stays square because it is aluminum and braced properly. What wears out first are the moving parts and the seals. That is normal. What is not normal is living with it for six months while the door gets harder to operate and the air-conditioned air keeps slipping out through the gaps.

Which CGI Models This Applies To

We work on the full CGI residential door line you are most likely to have in Delray Beach. That includes the Estate Collection, the Targa series, and the hinged impact-rated doors CGI builds for coastal and inland Florida homes. Most of what we replace, hinges, roller assemblies, weatherstripping, thresholds, latch hardware, and sweep seals, crosses over between these series, but there is a gotcha: Estate Collection doors use a beefier hinge barrel than the Targa line, and the two are not interchangeable. Measure the leaf length and the barrel diameter before you buy anything, or let us do it.

Every CGI door has a sticker on the hinge edge of the slab, usually near the bottom. The series name, the door size in inches, and the manufacturing date are printed right on it. That sticker tells us exactly what we are matching. We stock OEM CGI hardware and high-quality aftermarket equivalents side by side. For hinges and latch hardware, we prefer OEM. For weatherstripping and sweeps, the aftermarket options made from marine-grade EPDM hold up better in Delray Beach’s salt environment than the original PVC parts, and they cost about half as much. We will show you both on paper and let you decide.

TruePane Windows & Doors is an independent service provider and authorized CGI installer. We are not CGI corporate, and we do not answer to a franchise manual. We answer to you and to the work.

One more thing worth knowing: we also stock parts for Andersen, and Pella door lines, so if you are not sure what you have, we can identify it on the first visit.

Signs Your CGI Door Installation Is Failing

• The door drags or scrapes at the bottom edge. This is almost always a worn sweep or a hinge that has begun to sag. The sweep is a fifteen-minute fix. A sagging hinge usually means a barrel bushing is worn flat on the bottom leaf.
• The latch will not catch without pulling up or pushing down. Your striker plate alignment is off, which means the door has settled out of square or the hinges have worn. Forcing it closed every time just bends the latch further.
• Water pools on the tile after a hard rain. Delray Beach gets sideways rain all summer. The threshold seal or the weatherstrip on the hinge side has compressed or cracked. On a coastal home, this can start within five to seven years.
• You can feel air moving around the door frame on a humid day. If the air-conditioned air is getting out, the seal is gone. You are paying to cool Atlantic Avenue. The fix is a new compression weatherstrip, not caulk.
• The door makes a grinding noise when you swing it. That is the sound of a roller bearing or hinge pin running dry and starting to score the race. Lubricant will mask it for a week. The part is already failing.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

Here is what CGI door part replacement costs in Delray Beach, installed, with the part and the labor in the same number.

• Bottom sweep or threshold seal: $85 to $140
• Compression weatherstripping, full perimeter: $160 to $240
• Single hinge replacement (OEM): $120 to $180
• Full hinge set replacement (3 or 4 hinges, OEM): $280 to $350
• Latch and striker hardware (OEM): $110 to $190

The range moves with the series. Estate Collection hinges cost more than Targa ones because of the heavier barrel. Aftermarket EPDM weatherstripping runs 30 to 50 percent below OEM PVC. What you will not see is a surprise line item. The quote we hand you is the price. Dale Kessler has a rule about that, if it is not in writing, it is not a guarantee, it is a conversation. Every job gets the Done Right Promise and both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway.

DIY or Call Us?

You can safely replace a bottom sweep yourself if you have a drill and patience. You can also check the sticker on the hinge edge and read the series name to us over the phone. That saves everyone time. What you should not do is remove a full-size CGI impact door from its hinges. These doors weigh 150 to 250 pounds depending on the slab and glass package, and when a hinge lets go, the door goes down hard. We have seen the aftermath of garage-floor pry-bar jobs in Delray Beach, and it always costs more than a service call would have.

Most hinge and hardware replacements run under an hour with the right tools and two people who know how to shim a heavy slab back into square. If the door is dragging, binding, or letting water in, call (561) 940-2917. We will send a background-checked, uniformed technician who will measure the opening twice, quote the part on paper, and get it done right the first visit.
