AfterCWS Door Installation in Boca Raton: What to Know First
We install, replace, and repair CWS doors throughout Boca Raton as an independent CWS service provider, and most single-door jobs are completed in one visit. Typical CWS door installation in this market runs from $450 for a basic interior swing door up to $3,800 for a full exterior impact-rated replacement with new frame and hardware. You’ll get a written line-item quote before any work starts, not a ballpark. If you own a CWS entry door, French door, or sliding door that’s binding, sagging, or letting daylight through the weatherstrip, call (561) 264-1337 and we’ll walk you through what you’re looking at.
How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
CWS doors are common in Boca Raton homes built from the 1990s through today, and we’ve seen enough of them to know where they fail first. Here’s what actually shows up on service calls in this area:
- CWS 8000 Series swing doors: hinge sag at the top rail. These doors use an aluminum frame that holds up well in salt air, but the top hinge screws pull out over time because the jamb was never packed solid behind the hinge leaf. We place the door back in plane, install longer screws into the framing, and reset the weatherstrip so the door actually seals again.
- CWS 5100 and 5200 sliding doors: roller failure at the bottom track. Boca Raton’s humidity plus years of fine sand tracked in from patios wears the nylon rollers down until the panel drags. We replace rollers with OEM-spec or better aftermarket parts rather than shimming the panel up, because shimming just pushes the problem to the lock side.
- CWS 700 Series French doors: astragal misalignment. The astragal that seals the inactive panel loosens and lets rain drive through during summer squalls. We rebuild the astragal alignment, replace the weather gasket, and adjust the flush bolts so both panels close square against the stops.
- CWS impact-rated doors: threshold seal delamination. The original threshold weather gasket hardens and delaminates in Florida sun, and then water wicks in at the sill on the east-facing doors. We’ll swap the gasket and, if needed, replace the threshold if it’s cracked at the screw holes.
- Older CWS doors with obsolete parts. We keep a stock of common CWS components and, where CWS has discontinued a part, we source a quality aftermarket equivalent that fits without modifying the door slab. We’ll tell you which is which and show you the old part and the new one side by side before we install it.
Our CWS Door Installation Process
A CWS door in Boca Raton gets the same treatment whether it’s a first-time installation or a repair of an existing door. No shortcuts, no surprises.
- 1
We measure first. Every opening gets measured twice, including diagonals, because CWS frames settle differently on concrete slabs than on wood.
- 2
We diagnose in plain English. We show you what’s failing, why it failed, and whether it makes more sense to repair or replace the door or the hardware.
- 3
We put the numbers on paper. Before any work begins, you get a written quote with labor and parts listed separately, including whether the parts are OEM or aftermarket and what each costs.
- 4
We do the work in one visit when we can. For installations and most repairs, we’re in and out same day, with the job area swept and the old door hauled away.
- 5
We test before we leave. Every CWS door gets opened, closed, locked, and hosed down at the threshold if it’s an exterior unit. If it isn’t square and it isn’t sealed, it isn’t done.
- 6
We register the warranty. On new doors, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. No paperwork chase later.
What CWS Door Installation Costs in Boca Raton
What you’ll pay depends on whether we’re replacing hardware, repairing an existing CWS door, or installing a new unit. Here are the numbers we quote most often in Boca Raton:
| Scenario | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Interior CWS swing door installation (slab + hardware, jamb intact) | $450-$900 |
| Exterior CWS door repair (hinge reset, weatherstrip, astragal adjustment) | $250-$550 |
| Exterior CWS door installation (full frame, standard swing) | $1,400-$2,800 |
| Impact-rated CWS door installation (full replacement, new threshold and frame) | $2,200-$3,800 |
| CWS sliding door roller and track rebuild | $300-$650 |
The main cost drivers are whether the frame needs replacing, whether the door is impact-rated, and what condition the threshold is in. Call (561) 264-1337 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and the number on the quote is the number on the bill.

We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including, and PGT, so when a CWS door needs a component that’s been discontinued, we can often find a suitable replacement in a brand we already work with.

Background-checked, uniformed technicians do the work, and every quote is written, line-item, and registered against both warranty layers before we leave.
FAQs
Yes. We work on CWS doors as an independent CWS service provider. That means we install and repair CWS products, but we are not affiliated with or authorized by the manufacturer. We source OEM parts when they’re available and quality aftermarket parts when they’re not, and we’ll tell you which is which before we install anything.
It will not. We follow CWS’s installation and repair specifications, use components that meet or exceed their material requirements, and document the work with photos and a written record. We also register both warranty layers in writing when a new door is installed so the coverage is in place before we leave your driveway. Call (561) 264-1337 if you’d like us to assess your specific door before you commit to a repair.
Most standard CWS door repairs and installations are finished in one visit, which typically means half a day on site. Exterior impact-rated doors sometimes need a second visit if we’re replacing the threshold and the concrete needs patching, but we’ll tell you that before we start.
If the slab and frame are structurally sound and the problem is hardware, weatherstripping, or hinge sag, repair usually makes more sense and costs less. If the frame is rotted, the threshold is compromised, or the door no longer meets current wind code for Boca Raton, we’ll show you replacement options with hard numbers for both. It’s your call; we just make sure you have the same information we’d use to decide.
It covers labor on the work we performed. If something we installed or adjusted fails within 90 days, we come back and make it right at no charge. No paperwork, no arguing. The Keystone Standard also means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing and their durations stated clearly before the truck leaves your driveway. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate on any CWS door work in Boca Raton.
