CGI Door Installation: The Boynton Beach Owner’s Guide

CGI door installation in Boynton Beach typically runs $900 to $2,800 installed, depending on the door series, size, and whether you’re replacing a single panel or a full system. We stock CGI-compatible hardware and panels on our trucks for most common models, which means we can usually complete the swap in one visit. Most Boynton Beach homeowners discover they need this work because a door that used to close tight now drags on the frame in July humidity, or the panel’s latching hardware no longer lines up after years of settling and salt air.

Which CGI Models This Applies To

We work on the full CGI product line you see throughout Boynton Beach: the Estate Collection, Estate Classic, Tropic, and the heavy-duty Sentinel series, which you’ll find on a lot of waterfront and golf course homes from Chapel Hill to Boynton Isles. The catch with CGI doors is that hinge and hardware specs changed between model years, so a hinge from a 2012 Sentinel will not fit a 2019 Sentinel without re-boring the frame. The easiest way to confirm your series is to look for the CGI sticker on the hinge edge of the panel or the top rail. If that sticker’s gone, we’ll match the stile profile and glass package to the product records CGI keeps on file.

On the OEM-versus-aftermarket question: for CGI-specific sealing gaskets, roller assemblies, and multi-point lock bodies, we recommend OEM. CGI’s vinyl extrusions and gaskets are engineered to a tighter tolerance than the generics, and in Florida’s heat and rain, a generic gasket will harden two seasons sooner. For stainless hinges and sweep replacements, a quality aftermarket equivalent from a Miami mill is often just as good and costs 20 to 30 percent less. We’ll show you both options on a written quote, side by side, with the exact part numbers so you’re not guessing. TruePane Windows & Doors is an independent installer, not affiliated with CGI; that independent status is exactly why we can carry both stock and honestly recommend aftermarket when it makes sense.

Signs Your CGI Door Installation Is Failing

• Door drags or binds at the bottom or top. This is almost always frame settlement or a dropped hinge leaf, not a panel problem. In coastal Boynton Beach, especially out near the Intracoastal, sandy soil settles and takes door frames with it. If the panel is rubbing, the installation plane is off, and forcing the door only stresses the glass package.
• You can see daylight or feel air at the weatherstrip. The vinyl gasket has either compressed permanently or was cut too short at the original install. Once a CGI door’s thermal seal at the perimeter is compromised, you’re paying to air-condition the outside air; in Palm Beach County, that adds up fast.
• Multi-point lock requires three attempts to engage. On a CGI door, the lock bodies are mounted inside the panel on very precise milled pockets. When those pockets wallow out, the hardware shifts, and the door doesn’t lock flush. That’s a security concern, not an annoyance, on a home where the door is supposed to be a wind-rated barrier.
• Roller adjustment or slider panel won’t stay on its track. Most CGI sliders ride on an adjustable stainless roller carriage. Once the carriage bearing gets gritty, the door feels like it weighs twice as much and will occasionally jump the track. This gets worse each month it’s ignored.
• Visible corrosion at hinge screws or on the hinge leaf itself. Salt air is hard on exposed door hardware, even stainless. We see it daily along Federal Highway near the marina. If the hinge is weeping rust, the hardware’s already failing, and the door’s load-bearing point is compromised.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

For a straightforward CGI door replacement or hardware replacement on an existing opening in Boynton Beach, you’re looking at the following ranges:

• Single door panel replacement (CGI Estate or Tropic): $900 to $1,800 installed, depending on glass package and size.
• French door or double-panel CGI system: $1,600 to $2,800 installed.
• Hardware replacement only (hinges, multi-point lock, roller carriages): $220 to $550 installed, with the part cost itemized separately on your invoice.

Every quote includes the part, the labor, the weatherseal replacement, and any shimming required to get the panel back to true. We don’t bury “miscellaneous” line items. If the frame is too far gone to accept a new panel, we’ll tell you before we start and put the extent of frame work in writing. The labor carries our Done Right Promise; the CGI manufacturer warranty gets registered in your name before our truck leaves your driveway.

DIY or Call Us?

CGI door panels are heavy. The smallest single panel weighs over 100 pounds, and the double panels can run past 200. Wedging one into place without the right lifting rig or without removing the glass package safely is how people get hurt and how frames get gouged beyond repair. What you can do safely is confirm the model from the sticker, note where the door is catching, and take a photo of the hinge hardware. Then call us. We can often diagnose the specific part needed from that information and bring it with us on the first trip.

If the pane is not true, the job is not done. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll bring the right part, the right tools, and a written quote that won’t change on you once work starts.
