AfterECO Window Systems Door Installation: The Boca Raton Owner’s Guide
ECO Window Systems door installation in Boca Raton typically runs $450 to $1,150 for a full replacement door slab with hardware, depending on size, series, and whether the frame needs rebuilding after years of salt air. We stock ECO-compatible door components on our trucks and can usually complete the swap the same day we arrive, assuming your measurements match what we carry. Most Boca Raton homeowners call us because a door that once sealed tight now sticks, sags, or lets afternoon sun pour through a gap where the weatherstripping used to do its job.
Winslow Windows & Doors is an independent installer, not affiliated with ECO Window Systems. That independence matters when you need honest advice about whether an OEM part is worth the wait or a quality aftermarket replacement makes more sense for a door that’s seen ten hurricane seasons.

Which ECO Window Systems Models This Applies To
ECO Window Systems has put out several door lines over the years, and the compatibility gotcha is this: hinge mortise locations and lock bore heights are not universal across their series. A door slab from the newer ImpactView line won’t drop into a frame built for the original 7000 series without re-mortising, and re-mortising the wrong slab weakens the edge. You can identify your series by the sticker on the hinge edge of the door slab. If the sticker is faded to white after years of Boca sun, take a photo of the lock plate and measure from the top of the door to the center of the deadbolt. That measurement tells us more than the model name in most cases.
For ECO doors specifically, we prefer OEM hardware where the part handles weather load, like multipoint lock assemblies and roller tracks on sliders. For hinges, sweeps, and weatherstripping, we carry proven aftermarket equivalents that beat what was originally installed, because seal materials have improved since many of these doors went in. Here’s the honest tradeoff: OEM parts keep the door “all original,” but aftermarket often gets you a better-performing seal for less money.
Signs Your ECO Window Systems Door Installation Is Failing
- The door drags across the threshold or binds at the top corner. This means the hinges are worn or the slab has settled out of square, both common on southwest-facing Boca doors where afternoon heat cycles work the metal daily.
- You can see daylight through the gap between the door and the frame. Weatherstripping has compressed or torn, usually from salt air and sun breakdown. A door that shows daylight is also a door that’s costing you cooling dollars every afternoon.
- The deadbolt no longer throws smoothly into the strike plate. Misalignment from a sagging slab means you’re forcing the lock, and a forced lock wears the bolt, the plate, and the frame until one day it won’t lock at all.
- The hinges make a groaning sound or leave rust dust on the threshold. Coastal moisture gets into hinge knuckles even on powder-coated hardware. Once rust starts, the hinge pin seizes and the door starts to work itself off square.
- The frame shows soft spots or cracking at the bottom corners. This is the one that worries me most. Water has been getting behind the frame for a while, and on an exterior door in Boca Raton, soft wood or cracked aluminum means the opening itself may need rebuilding before a new door goes in.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
In Boca Raton, a straightforward ECO door slab swap with new hardware and weather sealing lands between $450 and $800 installed. When the frame needs rebuilding, expect $850 to $1,150. What drives the range: door size (a 72-inch entry unit costs more than a standard 36-inch), whether you need impact-rated glass or a solid slab, and how much frame repair the opening needs once we pull the old door.
Every quote is line-itemed before we start, no change orders after the fact.

DIY or Call Us?
You can safely check three things: the sticker on the hinge edge for your series number, the top-to-deadbolt-center measurement I mentioned earlier, and whether the frame corners feel solid or soft when you press them with a screwdriver handle. That information helps us bring the right parts the first time.
What I’d rather you not do: pull a door slab off its hinges and try to remortise it yourself, or chisel out a frame that’s been water-damaged. One wrong cut on a load-bearing hinge pocket and that door will never sit right again. Door slabs are heavy and awkward even for two people. If it slips, you’re looking at damaged tile, a gouged frame, or a foot injury. For anything beyond a weatherstrip replacement, call (561) 816-5648 and let us handle it. We’ve done hundreds of these across Boca Raton, from Royal Palm Yacht Club condos to single-family homes off Clint Moore Road.
FAQs
A well-maintained ECO door in our climate typically lasts 12 to 18 years before the hardware needs replacing, while the slab itself can go 20 or more if the frame stays dry and the hinges are kept adjusted. That said, doors on east-facing exposures with direct ocean wind and strong morning sun tend to show seal and hardware wear sooner than west-facing doors tucked under a covered entry. Call (561) 816-5648 and we’ll assess yours for free.
Most of the time, yes. If the slab is sound and the frame corners are solid, we can rehang the door on new hinges, replace the weatherstripping, realign the strike plate, and have it closing like new for a fraction of the cost of a full door. If the frame is rotted or the slab is delaminating from moisture, you’ll spend less long-term by replacing it now. We’ll show you both options and let you decide.
A slab swap with hardware and weather sealing usually takes two to four hours from start to finish, including haul-away of the old door. If the frame needs rebuilding, plan on a full day, because the opening has to be corrected, flashed, and sealed before the new door goes in.
We keep common ECO-compatible hinges, lock sets, weatherstripping, and thresholds on our trucks, which means many repairs happen on the first visit. For less common series or odd-size slabs, we source parts through our supplier network and can typically have them in hand within a few days. We also stock door installation components for PGT, CGI, and CWS if you have other units on the property. Call (561) 816-5648 with your model or a photo of the sticker, and we’ll tell you what we can do today.
