AfterCGI Door Installation: The Boca Raton Owner’s Guide
If you have a CGI door that needs new hardware, a hinge rebuild, a lock replacement, or a full slab swap, we install and service CGI doors throughout Boca Raton and typically carry the common replacement parts on our trucks. Most CGI door installation jobs in Boca Raton run between $185 and $650 depending on whether we’re replacing a worn component or hanging a new door slab, and we can usually get to you the same week you call. The giveaway is usually obvious: the door drags, the deadbolt won’t throw, or water starts finding its way under the threshold after a hard rain. We’ve been fixing CGI doors across Boca Raton long enough to know exactly what those symptoms mean before we even pull into the driveway.
One thing to know up front: we’re an independent service provider, not affiliated with CGI. What that means for you is straight parts matching without a dealer markup, honest advice about OEM versus equivalent aftermarket components, and install work that’s backed by our 36500-Day Done Right Promise.
Key Takeaways
- Typical CGI door installation in Boca Raton: $185-$650 installed for most parts and slab work.
- We stock common CGI hinges, rollers, locks, thresholds, and weatherstripping on the truck.
- Most jobs done in a single visit; same-week scheduling is standard.
- Free estimates and a live person answers at (561) 816-5648, day or night.
Which CGI Models This Applies To
CGI makes several door lines, and the parts don’t all interchange the way you might hope. The big families we work on in Boca Raton are the CGI Estate Collection, the CGI Classic line, and the CGI Targa series, plus their French door and sliding configurations. Each line uses different hinge geometry, lock prep spacing, and threshold profiles, so the first thing we do on-site is pull the manufacturer label off the hinge edge of the door slab. That label gives us the model number, glass package, and production date, which tells us exactly which parts your door was built with.
The compatibility gotcha most homeowners hit is mixing and matching hardware across lines. A hinge from a Classic won’t always align with an Estate slab, even though both are CGI products. The bore spacing on the lock prep can differ between the Targa and Estate lines, too. We match parts by the label, not by eye. For OEM versus aftermarket, our honest position is this: weatherstripping, thresholds, and rollers are fine to source as quality equivalents. Hinges, lock bodies, and anything carrying the structural load of an impact-rated door, we recommend sticking with OEM or a match we’ve verified against the original spec. This is impact-rated equipment. The part either holds up in a storm or it doesn’t, and Boca Raton is no place to find out the wrong way.
Signs Your CGI Door Installation Is Failing
- The door drags or scrapes the threshold on the swing. This almost always means worn hinge bushings or slight slab settlement. On a CGI door, the added weight of impact glass makes hinge wear show up faster than on a hollow-core interior door.
- You can see daylight around the door frame when it’s closed. The weatherstripping or the door seal has compressed or torn, which is common after a few summers of Boca Raton heat. This is also where water intrusion starts.
- The lock or deadbolt sticks, or you have to lift the handle to get it to engage. That’s a misaligned strike plate, usually from the door being out of plumb. Adjusting the hinges usually fixes it. Replacing the lock might not.
- The threshold or bottom sweep is cracked or pulling away from the floor. UV exposure and foot traffic do this over time. The seal below the door is your first line of defense against wind-driven rain.
- You feel a draft or hear more road noise than you used to. That’s the weatherstripping giving up. On an impact-rated door, the seal is doing a lot of quiet work, and when it’s gone, you’ll notice the humidity before you notice anything else.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
Here’s what CGI door installation actually costs in Boca Raton, based on the jobs we do week in and week out:
- Hinge rebuild or adjustment (up to 3 hinges): $185-$295 installed
- Weatherstripping and door seal replacement: $120-$240 installed
- Threshold or bottom sweep replacement: $160-$310 installed
- Lock, deadbolt, or multi-point hardware replacement: $220-$480 installed
- Full door slab replacement (standard CGI door): $450-$650 installed, depending on slab and hardware condition
- Frame repair or re-alignment: $200-$400 installed
Every quote is a line item. You see the part cost and the labor cost separately, and the price we quote is the price you pay. No change orders unless we open something up and find hidden damage, and even then, we show you before we proceed. Every install carries our workmanship warranty, and because Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, there’s no shuffling you to a warranty department. You call, a person picks up.
DIY or Call Us?
Here’s the honest split. You can safely inspect your CGI door yourself: check for visible gaps when it’s closed, look for torn or flattened weatherstripping, and note whether the door scrapes at any point in its swing. If the issue is a loose hinge screw or a dirty track on a sliding CGI door, you can tighten or clean that without any real risk. If any hinge is bent, the slab is out of plumb, or the lock hardware isn’t engaging correctly, call a professional before the door gets worse and stops sealing altogether. Impact-rated doors carry a lot of weight, and a sagging slab can damage the frame in a way that turns a $200 repair into a full-frame job. Ed grew up in Miami and studied building construction before putting in nearly two decades on South Florida windows and doors, so when we tell you a door needs more than a quick fix, it’s because we’ve seen what happens when it doesn’t get one. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll take a look at it for free.
FAQs
Expect weatherstripping and seals to last 3 to 5 years in Boca Raton’s heat and humidity, hinges and hardware 8 to 12 years, and a properly maintained CGI door slab itself 15 to 20 years or more, since impact-rated construction is inherently built for the long haul. Coastal salt air shortens hardware life, so homes east of Federal Highway tend to need hinge and lock hardware attention sooner. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll tell you honestly whether a part is worth repairing or better off replaced.
Sometimes yes: hinges can be rebuilt with new bushings, thresholds can be re-secured, and a sticking lock often just needs a realignment rather than new hardware. But if a CGI component is cracked, corroded through, or no longer holding a seal, replacement is the only fix that actually holds up. We’d rather tell you that straight than sell you a repair that fails in six months. Call (561) 816-5648 for a free second opinion on any written estimate you already have.
Most parts replacements like hinges, seals, thresholds, or lock hardware take 45 minutes to 2 hours on-site, and a full slab replacement typically takes half a day. We show up with the parts we think we’ll need already on the truck, so a single-visit job is the norm, not the exception. If you’d like a window of time rather than a vague “sometime tomorrow,” call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll give you a straight answer.
We keep common CGI hinges, rollers, lock hardware, thresholds, and weatherstripping stocked on our trucks, so most Boca Raton jobs are done in one visit. If your door needs a nonstandard or uncommon part, we order it directly and tell you exactly how long it’ll take before we even start the work. Of course, we also install PGT, CWS, and ES Windows products if you ever need that level of service on other openings in the house. Call (561) 816-5648 to confirm we’ve got what your door needs.
