AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Lantana
Door installation in Lantana runs $450-$1,200 for a standard entry door replacement, $2,800-$5,500 for a full impact-rated conversion, and $1,800-$4,200 for a double French door setup, depending on the masonry work involved. Most jobs in Lantana take one day for a slab swap and two to three days when the original 1950s or 60s jamb needs cutting out and re-bucking. Call (754) 238-2201 for a free estimate, and we’ll measure the opening, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway.
We’re TruePane Windows & Doors. We work in Lantana every week, from the CBS ranches off Lantana Road to the condos near the Intracoastal. The salt air here changes door work: frames, hinges, and thresholds fail faster than they do ten miles inland, and the local housing stock has its own set of habits we’ve learned to plan around.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Door Installation Company
TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler out of a principle: out-of-true installs and voided warranties are worth fixing permanently. That principle runs the company. Our techs measure every opening twice, cut and re-buck masonry openings with a grinder when needed, and set thresholds and flashing so water goes out, not under the slab. We stand behind the work with a Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before we leave the job. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Lantana homeowners call us because the work has to hold up against salt-laden onshore winds off the Intracoastal. That means stainless hinges, sealed sill pans, and fusion-welded frames, not whatever the supply house had on the shelf. Our background-checked, uniformed techs work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. And a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week when you call (754) 238-2201. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback form.
We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and show up when we say we will. That’s how a company earns trust in a town the size of Lantana, where people still remember the contractor who left them a door that binds in July.
Our Door Installation Services in Lantana
Entry & Swing Doors
Entry door replacement in Lantana is rarely a simple slab swap. Most homes from the 1950s and 60s have original aluminum jambs that have been breathing salt air for sixty years. The strike plate screws let go, the threshold pan rusts into the slab, and the door starts to sag. We cut out the failed frame, reshape the rough opening in the CBS block, and set a new impact-rated unit with marine-grade stainless hinges and a sealed sill pan. A standard entry door replacement runs $700-$1,800, while a full impact-rated conversion with masonry rework runs $3,200-$5,500.
Double & French Doors
French doors in Lantana fail at the center seam first. Salt corrosion weakens the astragal and the bottom sweep, then wind-driven rain from the Atlantic side works its way in. We set double doors with reinforced center mullions, stainless multipoint locks, and adjustable sills so the doors seal tight against both the salt and the summer humidity. Expect $2,400-$4,800 for a double French door replacement, depending on whether your opening needs re-bucking.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and folding doors in Lantana are usually a patio or lanai opening. The salt air attacks the track rollers and hinge pins, and within a few years the panels start to stick mid-fold. We specify stainless roller assemblies and corrosion-resistant track hardware, then set the floor track level so the doors don’t bind when the slab shifts. Budget $2,800-$6,000 for a folding door system, with the higher end covering larger openings and impact glazing.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are heavier than standard swing doors, which means the floor pivot and top pivot take real load. In Lantana, cheap pivot hardware rusts and grinds under the salt load. We install pivot systems with stainless bases and sealed bearings, then hang the slab so it swings true on day one and day one thousand. A pivot door installation typically lands between $2,500 and $5,200 in Lantana, and we’ll quote it on paper before you commit.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems. For Lantana homeowners, that matters because impact-rated products from CGI and ES Windows carry Palm Beach County wind-borne debris approvals, which is the minimum bar for door replacement in this city. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, and we register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves. No fine print that covers neither.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Corroded aluminum jambs and hinges. Salt-laden onshore winds from the Intracoastal attack aluminum extrusions, and after five to ten years the strike plate screws pull loose from the masonry buck, the door sags, and the latch stops catching. The fix is a new frame, stainless hardware, and a sealed threshold, not another screw.
- Improper jalousie-to-impact conversions. Lantana’s original jalousie openings were cast into CBS block without a standard buck. A crew that doesn’t re-buck the opening leaves gaps that leak air and water, and the impact rating drops with every seam. We grind the opening, set a proper buck, and flash it before the new door goes in.
- Unsealed or rusted threshold pans. Openings that face east or north catch blown rain off the Atlantic, and a thin aluminum threshold pan rusts through and lets water seep into the concrete slab. We set sealed sill pans with end dams and slope the pan to drain outward.
- Slab-shifted doors that bind in summer. Lantana’s older CBS homes sit on slabs that shift with the high water table between the Intracoastal and the ocean. A door that was square in January binds by July because the frame moved. We set the new frame plumb and true, then anchor it so seasonal slab movement doesn’t work the hinges loose.
Pricing for Door Installation in Lantana, FL
Entry door replacement in Lantana runs $450-$1,800 for a standard slab and frame, while a full impact-rated conversion with masonry re-bucking lands between $3,200 and $5,500. Double French doors range from $2,400 to $4,800. Storm doors sit lower, typically $400-$900 installed, but the frame and hardware still need to be marine-grade or the salt wins within a few years. What moves the price: the condition of the original rough opening, whether the door carries an impact rating, and the hardware spec. We give you a written line-item quote before we start, and the price on that page is the price on the bill. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule your free estimate.

FAQs - Door Installation in Lantana
Lantana’s entire municipal footprint sits between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, meaning every home in town gets salt-laden onshore wind, not just the waterfront lots. The same aluminum frame that lasts fifteen years in Lake Worth can seize and delaminate within five here because the chlorides never stop working. That’s why we use marine-grade stainless hardware and fusion-welded frames on every Lantana job, and why a cheap inland-spec door costs more within a decade. Call (754) 238-2201 for an exact quote on a salt-rated replacement.
Sometimes you can, but most 1960s jambs in Lantana are too far gone to salvage. By the time the door won’t close, the jamb has usually corroded behind the weatherstripping, the screw holes are wallowed out, and the threshold pan is weeping rust into the slab. Reusing a compromised jamb means the new door will sag and bind within a year or two, which is why we recommend a full frame replacement with a sealed sill pan when the original jamb is aluminum and sixty years old. We’ll tell you straight after the free measurement.
A storm door makes sense in Lantana if you buy one with a marine-grade finish and stainless hardware, and if you put it over a primary door that is solid enough to do the real protecting. The salt air will chew through a cheap box-store storm door with zinc hinges and a powder-coat finish within three years, but a properly finished aluminum or fiberglass unit with a sealed threshold and stainless closer will hold up. We quote brands like ES Windows and ECO Window Systems side by side so you can see the spec difference on paper.
Yes, fogging between the panes means the insulated glass unit’s seal has failed, and that is a manufacturer warranty issue, not normal wear. Lantana’s salt air and high humidity can accelerate seal degradation on low-quality units, but a properly made impact-rated door from a manufacturer we’re authorized to install carries a written seal warranty. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, so the paperwork is already done if the seal ever fails. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll check the unit and pull the warranty records.
Any replacement door in Lantana must be either impact-rated or protected by an approved secondary system because the town sits in the coastal wind-borne debris region under Florida Building Code. The proof is in the product approval paperwork, not the sales pitch. We quote impact-rated lines like CGI and ES Windows, pull the engineering documentation, and register the warranty before we leave. If a door doesn’t carry the approval for coastal Palm Beach County, it doesn’t go in a Lantana opening.
