AfterCGI Door Installation in Pembroke Pines: What to Know First
CGI door installation in Pembroke Pines typically runs $380 to $1,850 depending on the door type, the CGI series involved, and what shape the existing frame is in. Most single-door installs take one visit, roughly three to five hours. TruePane Windows & Doors is an independent CGI service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized shop, which means we quote both OEM and quality aftermarket parts side by side on paper and let the homeowner choose with eyes open.
This page is for CGI owners in Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Miramar, Weston, and the western Broward County corridor who want a straight answer before they spend. Call (863) 208-6105 and a live person picks up. Always.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CGI builds a serious impact door. We install plenty of them and we see the same failure patterns repeat themselves across Pembroke Pines, particularly in the older homes east of Flamingo Road and the newer builds west of I-75. Here is what actually goes wrong, by the issues we fix most.
- CGI Estate Series sagging on the hinge side. The Estate Series is a heavy door, and when it gets hung on a frame that was never reinforced for that much dead weight, the hinge screws strip out of the jamb over time. The door starts dragging on the threshold and the latch stops lining up. We pull the slab, re-mortise the hinge pockets, and set new screws into solid blocking, not the old nailer holes. The door should swing dead level when we are done.
- CGI Classic Series weatherstripping flattening out. After eight to ten Florida summers, the compression seals on Classic Series doors lose their spring. You will feel heat bleeding in around the perimeter even though the door looks fine. Some Pembroke Pines owners assume the door itself has failed. It has not. We replace the weatherstripping with the correct CGI-spec profile and adjust the strike plates so the seals compress evenly all the way around.
- CGI Tribute Series multipoint locks binding. The Tribute Series runs a multipoint lock system that is smooth when installed dead plumb. If the frame was set even an eighth of an inch out of square, the top and bottom lock pins bind and the lock fights you. The fix is not lubricant. We re-shim the frame, true the door, and set the lock points so they engage without forcing.
- CGI patio doors jumped off the roller track. This is the one we get the most calls on after storm season. Sliding CGI panels get thrown by wind pressure and the rollers either pop off the track or crack. When a homeowner tries to force the door back onto the rail, they usually bend the track and make it worse. We replace the roller assembly, inspect the track for damage, and reset the panel in the correct adjustment range.
- CGI French door center seam opening in humidity. French doors in Pembroke Pines deal with relentless moisture. If the astragal and flush bolts were installed without the correct clearances, the seam gaps open in summer and the doors bind in winter. The panels are fine. The initial installation was not. We correct the clearance, reset both leaves, and adjust the flush bolts so the seam stays true across seasons.
Our CGI Door Installation Process
Every CGI job follows the same sequence, whether it is a single entry door or a double French unit. No shortcuts, no surprises.
- 1
We measure the opening twice. Not once, not “close enough.” Dale Kessler learned at McFatter Technical College that a window is only as good as the frame holding it, and a door is no different. We check the rough opening, the jamb depth, the slab width and height, and the floor level.
- 2
We quote the door and the parts on paper. You get the manufacturer door line, the hardware, the parts source (OEM or aftermarket), and the labor broken out line by line. Nobody shows up with a number in their head and a handshake. If it is not in writing, it is not a guarantee. It is a guess.
- 3
We source the right parts. For CGI doors, we use OEM seals, rollers, and lock hardware wherever the door is still under warranty, because aftermarket substitutions can void the warranty layer. For hardware that falls outside the warranty, we quote quality equivalents and let you decide before we spend a dollar.
- 4
We install, set, and true the door. This is the part that separates a door that works for two years from one that works for twenty. We shim, square, and level before we ever drive a final screw. We set the slab to perfect reveal lines so the latch passes engage clean.
- 5
We test everything in front of you. Swing, lock, seal, threshold clearance. The door should operate dead smooth. You will watch it done before we call the job finished.
- 6
We register the warranty and stand behind it. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway. And the Done Right Promise means if something is off after the job, we come back and make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.

FAQs
No. As an independent CGI service provider, we install to manufacturer specification using OEM parts wherever a warranty is in play, which preserves the warranty layer. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and we tell you exactly what is covered and for how long.
In Broward County, what matters is that the door is a Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code approved product and is installed per the manufacturer’s noa, which we follow. We pull permits where required and the installation passes inspection before we call the job done. City of Pembroke Pines building officials check for correct anchoring, sealant, and threshold details on impact door installs, and we set the door to pass from the start.
A standard single door install takes three to five hours, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. Double doors and custom units can take a full day or longer if the existing frame needs rework, and we will tell you the timeline before we schedule.
Not usually. In most cases we can re-shim and re-anchor the frame, true the door, and bring it back to smooth operation. We will tell you plainly if the frame has rot or structural damage that makes a full replacement the better spend, but we never push a full door replacement when a correction will last. Call (863) 208-6105 for an exact quote. The estimate is free.
Yes, we install homeowner-supplied CGI doors regularly. We measure the opening, inspect the door and hardware you bought, and quote labor separately. If we see a problem with the unit, we will flag it before we touch a tool, so there are no surprises on install day.
