AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Lantana
Door installation in Lantana rarely stays a simple swap. The town’s older concrete block homes, sitting between Lake Worth Lagoon and the Atlantic, hide framing rot, corroded sills, and undersized rough openings behind the old jamb. When you pull a 1960s door from a CBS house near the Intracoastal, you find things a generic quote never accounts for. TruePane Windows & Doors has worked these blocks long enough to know what’s back there before we open the wall. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll walk the opening with you, then hand you a written quote that covers what’s actually in the wall, not just what’s on the surface.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 with a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule applies to doors too, especially in Lantana, where salt air eats aluminum frames and thresholds faster than anywhere inland. We are a second-generation glazier’s company, not a franchise playbook. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to work in a customer’s home the way they would work in their own mother’s. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, because homeowners in Lantana don’t schedule door replacements through a call center. They call, they get a real person who knows the town, and we show up when we say we will.
Lantana customers call us because the door they bought at a big-box store binds in July, or the salt air has turned their threshold into powder, or a hurricane inspection flagged their entire opening. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying. Both warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. And every job is covered by the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no arguing. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s the baseline for every callback we make in Lantana.
Our crews know the streets between US-1 and the lagoon, the older blocks around East Ocean Avenue, and the CBS homes that still carry original jalousie frames. That local knowledge matters when a door opening has been soaking up salt air for fifty years.
Our Door Installation Services in Lantana
We install and replace doors in Lantana homes of every era, from 1950s concrete block ranchers to newer waterfront builds. Here’s what we handle most often in this town. Our full Door Installation team covers each of these scopes, measured twice and quoted in writing before any work begins.
Entry & Swing Doors
Most Lantana entry doors are pre-impact aluminum or thin steel in shorts walls that never anticipated today’s impact-rated units. We measure the rough opening, check the header, and quote a door that clears current Florida Building Code wind-load standards. In older CBS homes east of US-1, we regularly find the rough opening is undersized for a modern code-compliant unit, which means a reframe job gets priced into the quote up front, not discovered mid-install.
Double & French Doors
French doors facing the lagoon or the ocean breeze get hammered by salt air on both the glass and the hardware. In Lantana, we replace rotted thresholds, corroded hinges, and failed flashing tape under the sill pan. We quote manufactured door systems like PGT and Jeld-Wen with stainless hardware and impact glazing where the code requires it.
Storm Doors
A storm door in Lantana is not a substitute for an impact-rated entry door. Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris code does not accept a storm door as protection for the primary opening. What a storm door does well here is shield the main door from direct salt spray and driven rain on Intracoastal-adjacent streets, extending hardware life by years. We install them as a second layer, never as a workaround for a non-compliant primary door.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are a statement on Lantana’s newer and renovated waterfront homes. They’re heavier, they demand precise leveling, and they penalize sloppy framing. Our crews fuse the frame, set the pivot hardware to manufacturer spec, and make sure the slab swings true in both directions. On homes near the water, we specify marine-grade hardware from the start.

For Lantana homeowners, that means we can quote Jeld-Wen, PGT, and Ply Gem side by side on paper so you can compare the numbers yourself. We stock common parts for these lines locally, and our relationship with the manufacturers means warranty paperwork gets filed correctly the first time.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in Lantana Homes
After years of pulling doors on Lantana’s older blocks, we know what’s behind the old jamb. Here are the four conditions we see most often, and what each one means for your quote.
- Salt-air corrosion at the bottom jamb and threshold. On pre-impact aluminum doors facing the lagoon or the ocean, the flashing tape under the sill pan disintegrates from decades of salt exposure. Water wicks into the concrete block, rots the wood rough opening, and the door starts to sag. This requires full jamb replacement and new waterproofing before the new door goes in.
- Undersized rough openings in 1950s CBS homes. Original doors in Lantana’s concrete block houses often sit in openings framed with doubled 2×4 headers, never meant to carry the weight of a modern impact-rated unit. When we pull the frame, the permit triggers a header and framing upgrade. We write that allowance into the contract up front, so there’s no surprise line item after demolition.
- Original thin-frame aluminum or jalousie doors that cannot be retrofitted. No shutter, no film, no storm door makes a jalousie-style door code-compliant under Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris requirements. The door has to come out entirely, the opening reframed, and an impact-rated unit set in its place. General contractors who don’t work Lantana miss this line in their quotes, and the homeowner finds out only after the county inspector shows up.
- Failed waterproofing around the rough opening. On East Ocean Avenue near the Intracoastal, our techs pulled a 1960s aluminum entry door from a CBS home and found the original flashing tape had turned to dust. The rough opening was spongy at the sill. We wrote a change order, replaced the jamb, fused a new ViewLux frame to block bi-directional salt intrusion, and passed the county’s wind-load inspection the next morning. That’s the kind of condition a quote has to anticipate, not react to.
Pricing for Door Installation in Lantana, FL
Door installation pricing in Lantana runs higher than inland towns like Boynton Beach because the salt air and wind-code requirements add scope that inland homes rarely face. Here’s what we see in this market:
- Entry and swing doors: $1,800 to $4,200 installed, depending on slab type and framing condition. Impact-rated units on the upper end.
- Double or French doors: $3,500 to $7,800 installed. Salt-exposed openings needing jamb replacement and re-flashing land at the higher end.
- Storm doors: $700 to $1,600 installed, as a secondary layer only.
- Pivot doors: $5,000 to $11,000 installed, heavily dependent on slab weight, hardware, and framing upgrades.
Any opening that has been soaking in salt air for decades will likely need framing or waterproofing work once we pull the old jamb. We write those allowances into the contract before we start, and any surprise we uncover gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free estimate on your Lantana door installation. No single-number guess, no change order ambush, just a written quote that covers what’s actually in the wall.

FAQs - Door Installation in Lantana
Because Palm Beach County treats every exterior door opening as part of the wind-borne debris envelope. Even a slab swap requires a permit when the opening is non-compliant, and nearly every original 1950s to 1970s door in Lantana’s CBS homes is non-compliant. A slab swap on a compliant, properly framed opening may not need one, but we almost never see that condition on Lantana’s older blocks. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll tell you what your opening actually needs before you spend a dollar.
No. A jalousie door cannot be brought into compliance with any approved shutter, film, or storm door. Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris code requires full removal and replacement with an impact-rated unit. We quote that job realistically, reframing included, so the inspector signs off the first time. Call (561) 708-6771 for a written quote that covers the full scope.
We check the rough opening, the header, the jamb, the sill pan, the flashing tape, and the slab condition. On Lantana homes east of US-1, we’re specifically looking for salt-air corrosion at the threshold and water damage in the concrete block. We measure the opening twice, we note the framing conditions, and we write the quote from what we find, not from an assumption. Estimates are free.
Your neighbor’s contractor likely saw an undersized header, rotted rough opening, or failed waterproofing after demolition and wrote a change order for it. That’s not a surprise, it’s a condition a local contractor should have priced up front. We price those allowances into the contract before we start, based on what we know about Lantana’s housing stock. If something unexpected does turn up, it gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll quote your door the way it actually needs to be quoted.
Salt air from the lagoon and the ocean corrodes hinges, handles, thresholds, and sill pans on both sides of your house. Impact-rated glass protects against wind and debris, but the hardware still sits in a salt-laden environment. We specify stainless or marine-grade hardware on waterfront Lantana installs, and we replace failed flashing and sill pans as part of the job. Call (561) 708-6771 for a free estimate and we’ll look at what the salt has done to your opening.
