AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across West Palm Beach
Door installation in West Palm Beach runs $1,800-$6,500 for a standard impact-rated entry door, $4,000-$18,000 for double French doors, and $12,000-$35,000+ for custom pivot or arched systems, with most jobs completed in one to three days once product arrives. We’ve been setting doors in West Palm Beach long enough to know that the real work starts before the truck rolls: checking the rough opening on a 1950s CBS home in Flamingo Park, pulling county permits on an El Cid historic spec, or coordinating a six-week lead time on custom millwork for a waterfront pivot door. You call (561) 349-4826, speak to a person, and get a straight answer about cost, schedule, and whether that old jalousie door can be saved (it usually can’t).
Our crews know West Palm Beach the way you know your own block. We’re familiar with the pre-1994 concrete block construction that dominates Northwood, the salt-air corrosion along Flagler Drive, and the historic review process that governs what goes back into a 1920s Mission-style house in El Cid. When we measure an opening, we measure for the house as it actually stands, not for a builder’s drawing from forty years ago. That matters when the opening is out of square by three-quarters of an inch and the county still wants an impact-rated product that seals tight.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Our Door Installation team treats West Palm Beach properties as individual buildings, not account numbers. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the opening is not true, the job is not done. That rule means more in a city where 1940s-1970s CBS homes have shifted enough over sixty years that a door purchased from a catalog will bind by August unless the installer knows how to correct the rough opening before the first hinge screw goes in.
West Palm Beach homeowners call us because we answer. Not a callback service, not a voicemail tree, and not a regional call center. A live person at (561) 349-4826, any hour, any day. When you call about a door that no longer latches or a slider that howls during a summer squall, you talk to someone who understands the difference between a worn roller and a sunken threshold. That is the kind of local knowledge that comes from serving South Florida since 2008 as a craft company, not a franchise playbook. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and plan to be in West Palm Beach thirty years from now.
Every install carries our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, with durations stated plainly. No arguing later about what the fine print covers. We stand behind the work, in writing.
Our Door Installation Services in West Palm Beach
Entry & Swing Doors
The entry door on a West Palm Beach CBS home takes a beating no Northern door ever sees: direct Atlantic salt air, monsoon-season driven rain, and a UV index that bakes standard finishes in three summers. We install impact-rated fiberglass and steel entry systems with marine-grade hardware that will not pit, plus full-frame replacements when the original buck is too far gone to hold a square install. Most entry door replacements in West Palm Beach are single-day jobs once the product arrives.
Double & French Doors
Double French doors in West Palm Beach do double duty: they carry impact-rated glass for code, and they carry the architectural weight of a room. We’ve replaced countless 1960s aluminum sliders with true French doors, and the difference is not cosmetic. A properly shimmed, properly sealed double door system ends the binding and air leakage the old sliders had since the Carter administration. For homes in Flamingo Park or El Cid, we match original divided-light patterns and jamb depths so the replacement passes both impact code and the City’s Historic Preservation Board review. Expect $4,000-$18,000 depending on width, glass package, and whether custom jamb depth is required.
Bifold & Folding Doors
West Palm Beach’s downtown condos and waterfront rebuilds increasingly spec bifold and folding door systems that open an entire wall to the view. These are the heaviest moving assemblies in residential construction, and the tolerance for error is in fractions of an inch. We install multi-panel systems with reinforced headers per county wind-load charts, stainless or powder-coated marine-grade hardware, and adjustable hinges that keep the panels tracking true years after install. If the floor slab has settled, we correct the track line before the panels go in. That is the difference between a folding door that works and one that fights you every time.
Pivot Doors
A custom pivot door is the statement piece of the West Palm Beach luxury market, and the statement goes sour fast if the pivot hinge is sized for a Southern California weight load and then hit with a Palm Beach County wind event. Pivot doors run $8,000-$25,000 or more, and the schedule is driven by lead time on the slab and hardware, not by the labor on install day. We lock the price in writing before fabrication begins, then manage the shop drawings, finish samples, and hardware approvals so the install day is not a discovery day. For homeowners south of Southern Boulevard or along the Intracoastal, we spec corrosion-resistant pivot hardware rated for the salt environment, not the default brass that will cloud within a year.

Common Door Installation Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air pitting on non-marine-grade hardware. Doors installed within two miles of the Intracoastal start showing pitting and failed weatherstripping in under three years when standard aluminum extrusions are used. We spec marine-grade or stainless hardware on every coastal job.
- Out-of-square rough openings in older CBS homes. Concrete block homes built in the 1950s-1970s shift over decades. A door measured by the box, not by the opening, binds in summer and lets conditioned air bleed out all year.
- Historic district rejections. El Cid, Flamingo Park, and Northwood require replacement doors to match original sight lines and profile dimensions. An off-the-shelf door that passes county impact code still gets rejected by the city if the muntin pattern is off, which is a delay most contractors never see coming.
- Custom orders started without approved shop drawings. A high-end pivot or arched door has a lead time measured in weeks. If fabrication begins before you approve the drawings in writing, the clock starts running on the wrong door. We hold fabrication until you sign off.

FAQs - Door Installation in West Palm Beach
Because the original single-track aluminum sliders and jalousie louver doors installed in West Palm Beach’s CBS housing stock cannot be retrofitted to meet current Florida impact standards built into the Florida Building Code, and they are usually so corroded by decades of salt air that the frames are beyond repair. We tear out the entire assembly, correct the rough opening, and set a new impact-rated unit. Call (561) 349-4826 for an exact quote on your specific opening.
In West Palm Beach’s locally designated historic districts, any replacement door must satisfy two authorities at once: Palm Beach County’s building department requiring current impact-rated product approvals, and the City’s Historic Preservation Board requiring the replacement to replicate the original sight lines, muntin patterns, and profile dimensions of the 1920s-1940s house. The overlap of impact-rated products that also pass historic review is narrow. We’ve navigated this for years, including replacing a sagging 1960s aluminum slider in Flamingo Park with a custom mahogany double French door from Marvin that passed review by matching the original 2-inch jamb depth and muntin pattern exactly. Call us before you order anything so we can confirm the product will pass.
Lead time, without question. A custom pivot door slab can take six to ten weeks to fabricate, and arched or radius doors add another two to three weeks for the frame. The actual install is usually one or two days. We lock the price in writing before fabrication so the six-week wait doesn’t end with a surprise invoice. If you want a custom door, call (561) 349-4826 early, because the calendar is set by the manufacturer’s queue, not by our crew’s availability.
Yes, and this is one of the most common failure points we see in West Palm Beach. Homes within about two miles of the Atlantic or the Intracoastal should have marine-grade stainless steel or powder-coated hardware and door frames. Standard aluminum extrusions and brass hardware will pit and seize within a few years in direct salt-air exposure, leading to failed weatherstripping and doors that jam. We spec marine-grade on every coastal install without being asked.
For most West Palm Beach homeowners, impact-rated doors are not an upgrade, they are a condition of keeping affordable insurance. Palm Beach County’s coastal wind-speed designation under the Florida Building Code, 160 to 170 mph ultimate design wind speed, means insurers and Citizens routinely condition policy issuance or renewal on documented impact protection for all glazed openings. Replacing pre-1994 doors with impact-rated product can reduce your windstorm premium materially and often keeps you insured at all. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll help you understand what your insurer is looking for and what the install will cost.
Schedule Your Door Installation in West Palm Beach
If you are tired of a door that binds, a slider that grinds, or a jalousie that leaks light and air, call (561) 349-4826. We’ll come to West Palm Beach, measure every opening twice, and give you a written, line-item quote with both warranty layers registered before the install ever starts. A square deal, done right, on the first visit. That is the only way we work.
