CGI Door Installation: The Riviera Beach Owner’s Guide

CGI door installation in Riviera Beach typically runs $850 to $2,400 for a complete door and frame install, depending on panel size, swing configuration, and whether the existing frame is salvageable. We stock CGI-compatible hardware and weatherstripping on our trucks, and we can usually complete a standard door replacement in a single visit. Most Riviera Beach homeowners call us after they notice their CGI door dragging on the threshold, water staining the interior floor after a storm, or a latch that no longer catches square. The coastal air here is unforgiving on door hardware, and a CGI product that was installed even slightly out of true will start showing it within two or three hurricane seasons.

Which CGI Models This Applies To

CGI’s impact-rated door lines include the Estate Collection, the Tropic Collection, and their commercial-grade Sentry series. Each uses different hinge geometry and threshold profiles, so the first thing we do is check the door’s certification label, usually on the hinge edge of the panel. That label carries the product number, wind zone rating, and manufacturing date, which tells us exactly which replacement hardware and seals to pull. One compatibility gotcha we see often in Riviera Beach: CGI panels built before 2012 used a different bottom sweep channel than current production, and the old-style sweep is no longer manufactured. In those cases we machine an adapter so a current CGI sweep seats properly, because the alternative is a new door, and that’s a lot of money to spend over a $40 piece of rubber. We install OEM CGI hardware when it’s available, and we’re direct with customers when a quality aftermarket hinge or roller matches the original spec for less money. We are an independent service provider and not affiliated with CGI, so our recommendation is based on what fits and what lasts, not on what a corporate line sheet tells us to sell. TruePane Windows & Doors is also an authorized installer for, which gives us a useful frame of reference when comparing how different impact door brands hold up on the Florida coast.

Signs Your CGI Door Installation Is Failing

• The door binds or drags at the latch point in summer. Riviera Beach humidity swells the frame just enough that a door installed without proper shim clearance starts catching. The fix is either adjusting the hinges or re-shimming the jamb, and ignoring it will eventually crack the glass at the stress point.
• You can see daylight under the door or feel a draft at the sill. This usually means the bottom sweep has worn flat or the threshold cap has shifted. On an impact-rated CGI door, a failed sweep also means driven rain can push under the panel during a storm, which is how you end up with a buckled laminate floor.
• The deadbolt no longer throws completely without lifting or pulling the handle. That means the door has sagged out of square, either from hinge wear or from the frame settling. The strike plate alignment is the symptom, not the problem, and a homeowner who files the strike plate wider is only buying themselves a door that rattles in the wind.
• Water stains appear on the interior side of the jamb after heavy rain. This is almost always a seal failure at the head flashing or a dried-out perimeter gasket. CGI doors rely on a continuous compression seal, and once it hardens from sun exposure, water finds the path of least resistance.
• The door panel itself feels heavy or difficult to open from the inside. CGI impact panels are heavy by design, but the spring-loaded hinges should make them feel manageable. If the hinge springs have lost tension, the door becomes a chore and a safety issue, especially during an evacuation.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

In Riviera Beach, a complete CGI door installation with new hardware and weatherstripping runs between $850 and $2,400. The range comes down to panel width, whether you have a single or double door, whether the existing frame is square enough to reuse, and whether the job requires reframing for current Florida Building Code compliance. Every quote we write is a line-item document: you see the cost of the door panel, the hardware, the seals, the labor, and the permit if one is required. Nothing is rolled into a lump sum you can’t audit. Our workmanship warranty is 90 days under our Done Right Promise, and we register both warranty layers, manufacturer and TruePane, in writing before our truck leaves your driveway.

DIY or Call Us?

There are a few things a homeowner can safely inspect on a CGI door: check the sweep for wear, look for loose hinge screws, and note where the door rubs. Re-screwing a hinge is a reasonable Saturday job. Re-setting a 300-pound impact-rated door panel is not. The weight alone turns a small alignment issue into a pinched-hand or thrown-back situation, and trying to correct sag with longer screws in a compromised frame just moves the problem deeper into the jamb. If the door is hung out of square, the repair belongs to someone who levels doors for a living. Our crews do this work every week in Riviera Beach, and we’ll give you an honest assessment before any money changes hands. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll come take a look.
