This page was written for a homeowner who owns a CWS sliding door that drags, sticks, or has finally given up after enough humid summers and coastal salt air. We are not authorized by CWS, and we do not pretend to be. We are the company homeowners call when the selling dealer is gone, the original installer will not come back, and the door still needs to slide.

Call (561) 264-1337 and a live person answers. We will tell you over the phone whether it sounds like a repair or a replacement, and we will not charge you for the conversation.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CWS builds doors well enough that most problems show up in predictable places. After servicing them across Boca Raton for years, here is what we see most often.

• Series 800 and Series 8000 rollers flatten on the bottom edge. Original CWS rollers on these lines often use a steel bearing inside a nylon wheel. When the nylon wears thin and the bearing meets the track, the door drops out of square and starts dragging. We replace the rollers with stainless-bearing assemblies sized to the original channel, then reset the panel height so the door does not shave the track.
• Series 9000 multi-point lock rods slip out of timing. The CWS 9000 series uses a multi-point lock driven by a single gearbox. When one shoot bolt hangs up, the handle turns but the door only half-locks. Homeowners in Boca Raton often mistake this for a broken lock. Most of the time the gearbox is fine and the rod needs reseating, lubrication, and a strike plate adjustment.
• Weep holes clog, and the sill fills with water after a storm. CWS sliding sills are designed to drain through small weep slots at the bottom of the outer track. In Boca Raton, pollen, sand, and roof grit pack those weeps closed between seasons. The first sign is water coming over the inside track. Our fix is a sill cleaning, weep clearing, and a check that the track still pitches outward enough to shed rain.
• Header rollers on Series 500 bypass doors develop flat spots. The 500 line used a top-hung bypass configuration on some patio openings. When those upper nylon rollers wear unevenly, the panel cocks and the bottom scrapes. We pull the panel, replace the rollers with units matched to the original wheel diameter, and hang the panel so the reveal is even on both jambs.
• Glass seal failure along the coast shows up as haze between the panes. Homes within a mile of the Intracoastal or the beach see seal stress earlier than inland homes. When the CWS insulated glass unit starts to fog, reglazing is the fix. We remove the sash, measure the unit, and order an exact-thickness replacement. On many CWS sliding doors, the glass is structurally taped into the panel, which means the prep work matters as much as the glass itself.

If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That is the rule we follow on every CWS door that leaves our hands.

Our CWS Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process

We run every CWS job the same way, whether it is a roller replacement or a full door pull. The point is to leave the door sliding square and closing clean on the first visit.

1. 1
   We measure the opening and the door before we touch anything. Track height, panel reveal, header clearance, and sill pitch. CWS doors are sensitive to settling, and a door that bound all summer may be telling us the floor moved.
2. 2
   We diagnose the actual failure, not just the symptom. A door that drags could be rollers, a bent track, a sagging header, or a warped panel. We find the cause before we quote a fix.
3. 3
   We lay out OEM versus aftermarket parts in plain numbers. CWS parts are good. They are also sometimes backordered and not always the best value on older units. We price both, tell you the difference, and let you decide.
4. 4
   We do the work in one visit when the parts are on the truck. Rollers, handles, locks, weepholes, track caps, and most adjustments. If we need a custom glass unit, we give you a written timeline and a fixed price before we leave.
5. 5
   We test the door under load. Full travel, lock engagement, weep drainage, and a hard look at the reveal. If the door does not slide square and seal tight, we are not finished.
6. 6
   We register the warranty paperwork in writing. The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered with you in the room, and our Done Right Promise follows in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.

What CWS Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Costs in Boca Raton

Here is what CWS sliding and patio door work in Boca Raton typically runs. These are real numbers from jobs we have done, not call-center estimates.

What moves the price is the series, the opening size, and whether the door has impact glass. A Series 9000 patio door with impact-rated glazing will land at the higher end. Older Series 500 units needing aftermarket rollers can often be repaired for the lower end.

Every quote is written, itemized, and fixed. No change orders, no surprise line items. Call (561) 264-1337 for a free estimate on your CWS door.

Why Boca Raton Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for CWS Work

Dale Kessler grew up in Boca Teeca, and he has been glazing windows and doors in this market for more than two decades. That matters on a CWS job because the company knows how these specific doors behave in this specific climate. The salt air near the coast, the humidity that swells wood framing on older homes, the settling in neighborhoods like Delray Manors and University Park. None of that is written down in a CWS manual. It lives in the hands of a crew that has done this before.

We stand behind the work. The Done Right Promise means if it is not right, we make it right, no paperwork, no arguing. And we service the other brands this market loves too: PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. If a CWS door is not worth repairing, we can quote side by side on a replacement from any of those lines. On paper. In front of you. We will not upsell you into a door you do not need.
