Why Lighthouse Point Residents Choose Us for CWS Service

Most window companies can order a CWS part. Few can tell you why the stainless steel locking rod on your 5700 casement seized in six years while the same window three miles inland held up fine. Our field team has rebuilt, retrofitted, and waterproofed CWS windows and doors across Lighthouse Point’s canal-front homes, and we’ve learned the failure patterns that come with near-marine exposure. We stock CWS OEM gaskets, hinge pivots, and stainless mounting clips locally so we’re not waiting on a parts truck from Texas while a hurricane season approaches. Dale Kessler, our owner, spent more than two decades measuring, setting, and sealing windows and doors across Palm Beach County before he started TruePane, and the rule he keeps on the whiteboard still governs every job: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’re the last call a Lighthouse Point homeowner needs to make on a CWS window or door. For full-service CWS work, see our CWS sales & service page.

Common CWS Windows & Doors Problems We Solve in Lighthouse Point

• Chloride pitting on CWS stainless hinges and casement locking bars. We see this after five to seven years on canal-side Riumar homes. The salt-laden air accelerates oxidation even on stainless components, and the result is a crank-out sash that refuses to dog shut when the inspector checks for wind mitigation compliance. We replace the hardware with upgraded T316 stainless and re-align the sash so the locking points engage fully.
• Shrunk and rippled TPE compression gaskets in CWS sliding doors. Constant salt mist and afternoon sun wreak havoc on factory-installed gaskets along the Intracoastal. The telltale sign is a water stain at the frame corner even when the glass is completely intact. We pull the old gasket, clean the channel, and install a coastal-rated replacement that holds its shape through the seasons.
• Capillary corrosion tracks along older CWS frame weep channels. This one hides. We’ve seen CWS frames without full thermal breaks develop corrosion behind perfectly intact paint, only surfacing when an impact lintel or stucco repair exposes the rough opening. If your canal-side CWS frame is ten-plus years old and you’re doing other work, have us inspect the weep channel before the stucco crew closes it up.
• Seized die-cast bottom sweep carriers on CWS swing doors. Salt-laden air locks these carriers up, and then the door drags across the threshold until the silicone edge on the sweep erodes. A worn sweep on a canal-side entry means water finds its way in during king tides. We replace the carrier and sweep as a set, which is the only way to get the door closing square again.
• Pressure-test failures on CWS sliding glass doors during wind mitigation inspections. Even impact-rated doors fail pressure tests when the gaskets have degraded or the frame corners have worked loose. We rebuild the threshold assembly and replace the compression seals so the door tests clean the first time. That matters in Lighthouse Point, because inspectors here don’t write friendly re-inspection notes.

CWS Service in Lighthouse Point: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

There’s a specific reason Lighthouse Point CWS work goes sideways faster than it does in inland Broward: the city sits at the eastern edge of the county, directly on the Intracoastal, with a network of saltwater canals threading behind nearly every residential block. That means even homes that aren’t technically waterfront sit within yards of salt water on multiple sides. We routinely pull CWS frames off Lighthouse Point homes that were spec’d for “coastal” use but not marine-zone use, and the hardware tells the story: corroded locking mechanisms, failed seals a decade in. Our crew saw exactly this on a 1972 CBS ranch off NE 28th Court, yards from a spur canal. Three original CWS 5700 casements and an 800 sliding door had stainless locking rods that seized in under eight years. We installed full-frame CWS 5700 HVHZ impact casements with upgraded T316 hinges and thermally broken frame corners, added Sika bond-breaker tape and closed-cell backer rod at the rough openings, and anchored everything to the block. That job passed Lighthouse Point’s canal-adjacent inspection with zero correction notes, and the homeowner’s insurance credit offset about half the upgrade cost. If it isn’t square and it isn’t sealed, it isn’t done.

CWS Models & Products We Service in Lighthouse Point

We service the full CWS line that shows up in Lighthouse Point homes: the 5700 Series Aluminum Impact Casement, the 600 Series Single Hung Impact, the 800 Sliding Glass Door, and the Estate Series Awning. Our approach on parts is straightforward. We stock CWS OEM gaskets, hinge pivots, and stainless mounting clips, and we’ll use certified coastal-rated aftermarket sweeps and seal systems when a factory lead time would stall a dry-in. But we don’t chase repairs on bent or corroded CWS sash extrusions or failed dual-pane IGUs. In Lighthouse Point, code compliance and salt-air fatigue make rebuilt frames a short-lived value, so we lean toward full frame replacement on those jobs. The goal is a window that holds up for twenty years along a saltwater canal, not one that needs another repair in five.
