AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Plantation Mobile Home Park
Door installation in Plantation Mobile Home Park runs $850 to $2,400 for a standard HUD-compliant entry door, and $1,900 to $4,600 for an impact-rated door with structural anchoring. The range depends on whether you need a door-only swap or full jamb replacement. Both are common here, because this park’s manufactured housing stock dates mostly to the 1970s through 1990s, and those original frames were never built for today’s wind-load standards. Call (754) 238-2201 for a written, line-item quote. We measure every opening twice before we quote anything.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Plantation Mobile Home Park’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Our crews have worked inside this park long enough to know what’s behind the wall. In a 1978 Champion or a 1992 Fleetwood, the door jamb anchors into thin metal studs, not dimensional lumber. That changes everything about how you fasten a door that has to hold against a Cat 2 storm. We come prepared for that, every time.
TruePane is not the cheapest bid you’ll get in Plantation Mobile Home Park. We’re the company that registers both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, and that’s a promise Dale Kessler has kept since 2008. Homeowners here who’ve been burned once by a big-box install tend to call us second. They usually stay.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper. And when the job is done, we walk the opening with you before we leave. If the door binds, we fix it. That’s the Done Right Promise, no paperwork fights attached.
Our Door Installation Services in Plantation Mobile Home Park
Every Door Installation we do in this park starts with one question: does this unit meet HUD Wind Zone II for your specific lot? If the answer is no, we won’t hang it. It’s that simple. Here’s what we install most often.
Entry & Swing Doors
Most entry door replacements in Plantation Mobile Home Park are door-and-jamb jobs, not just slab swaps. The original jambs on 1970s and 1980s units have pulled away from the metal wall framing over four decades of settling. We source mobile-home-rated steel and fiberglass doors built to narrower rough openings, then anchor through the floor with structural fasteners designed for thin-gauge steel studs. A standard swing door install here runs $850 to $2,400, depending on whether the jamb needs full replacement.
Storm Doors
Storm doors in this park are not decorative. They’re the second line of defense in a tropical storm, and most original storm doors from the 1970s have no wind-load label at all. That’s a documented code failure. We install HUD-compliant storm doors with impact-rated glazing and full-perimeter weatherstripping. Expect $600 to $1,800, including tear-out of the old unit.
Arched & Custom Doors
Some of the nicer units in Plantation Mobile Home Park have arched openings or non-standard heights. Off-the-shelf units won’t fit, and forcing them in leaves gaps that fail HUD thermal and pressure requirements. We order custom-radius doors from manufacturers we trust, including Jeld-Wen and PGT, cut to your exact rough opening. Custom work starts around $2,200 and goes up based on glazing and finish.
Double & French Doors
Double-door installs in manufactured homes need a structural header upgrade in most cases. The original header above the opening wasn’t sized for the point load of two swinging slabs. We reinforce before we install, and we only use French doors rated for HUD Wind Zone II. That job typically lands between $2,800 and $5,200 in this park.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold doors are more common on interior closets and laundry nooks here, but we handle interior and exterior folding units. Interior bifolds run $400 to $900 installed. Exterior folding systems, rare in this park but not unheard of, start at $3,500 and require wind-load certification per panel.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are a niche product, but a few remodeled units in Plantation Mobile Home Park have them. A pivot hinge carries the entire slab weight differently than a standard butt hinge, which matters when your jamb is anchored into metal studs. We reinforce the header and floor anchor points before install. Budget $3,000 to $6,000 for a compliant pivot door here.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation Mobile Home Park
We’re an authorized installer for, PGT, and CGI, plus more than a dozen other manufacturer lines. In this park, that matters more than elsewhere, because HUD compliance documentation comes from the manufacturer, not from us. You get the wind-load certificate in writing, with the pressure ratings stated, before we install. We keep mobile-home-specific inventory in stock for Plantation Mobile Home Park customers, which means common entry door sizes don’t wait two weeks to ship from a warehouse in Georgia.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Plantation Mobile Home Park Homes
- Jamb pull-away from metal wall framing. The original aluminum door jambs on 1970s and 1980s units weren’t anchored with the reinforced plates HUD now requires. We re-anchor with structural fasteners and anti-rack plates before hanging anything new.
- Narrow door frames that reject standard pre-hung units. Mobile home door frames from this era run thinner than the 4-9/16-inch jamb depth big-box doors are built for. Forcing one in leaves a gap that leaks air, water, and fails any pressure test. We order to spec.
- Non-compliant louvered glass in old door panels. If your original door has jalousie or louvered glass, it won’t pass HUD Wind Zone II impact requirements, even if the slab fits. Reusing it during a door-only upgrade violates code in this park. We replace the panel.
- Storm doors with no wind-load label. A storm door without a wind-load certificate is not a storm door. It’s an unrated second leaf. If yours came with the unit in 1982, it’s time to replace it.

What a HUD-Compliant Door Installation in Plantation Mobile Home Park Actually Includes
Here’s the part most door companies won’t tell you. Every door installation in Plantation Mobile Home Park must comply with HUD Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards, not the Florida Building Code that governs surrounding site-built homes. That means a perfectly good 80-inch entry door can still be a code violation if its wind-load rating doesn’t meet HUD Wind Zone II for this region of Florida. This is not a technicality. It’s the difference between an insurance claim that pays out and one that gets denied.
Our crew recently replaced a sagging original 1978 aluminum entry door on a unit near the north loop of the park. The jamb had pulled away from the metal wall framing, and the door slab itself failed the HUD Wind Zone II pressure test. We sourced a Jeld-Wen mobile-home-rated steel entry door with impact-rated glazing, anchored it through the floor with added structural fasteners, and flashed the opening with butyl tape before reinstalling the storm door. The old one had no wind-load label at all. That’s the difference between a door that closes and a door that holds.
What we include that a cheap quote leaves out: the wind-load certificate from the manufacturer, anchor plates sized for thin-gauge metal studs, butyl flashing at the sill and jambs, a pressure-tested assembly, and the permit paperwork that records all of it. If your installer can’t produce the wind-load rating in writing, the door is not compliant. Period.
Permits and Inspections for Door Jobs in Plantation Mobile Home Park
Door-only replacements in this park still need a permit when the opening is altered, the jamb is replaced, or the unit is not a like-for-like size swap. Broward County handles manufactured home installations through its building department, and inspectors check for HUD label compliance on the new door. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and walk the inspector through the opening. You don’t chase paperwork. We do.
One thing we’ve learned: an unpermitted door install is an insurance problem waiting for a storm. If the claim adjuster can’t verify the door was HUD-compliant, the claim gets complicated fast. A documented install closes that loop. We hand you the permit record before we leave.

FAQs - Door Installation in Plantation Mobile Home Park
Your replacement door needs to meet HUD Wind Zone II requirements, which for this region of Florida means a design pressure rating specific to your unit’s placement and exposure. In practice, that’s a DP 50 rated door assembly or higher, with the manufacturer’s wind-load certificate in writing. We determine the exact rating during the site measurement and confirm it against your unit’s HUD label before ordering anything. Call (754) 238-2201 for a quote that includes the rating, stated in writing.
No. If your old storm door has no wind-load label, which is true of nearly every original unit in this park, it cannot stay. HUD Wind Zone II applies to the entire door assembly, not just the main slab. We’ll replace it with an impact-rated storm door and register both warranty layers. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll quote the pair together.
Usually, yes. Most 1970s and 1980s units in Plantation Mobile Home Park have jamb depths thinner than the standard 4-9/16-inch frame big-box doors are built for. We order from mobile-home-specific lines, including Jeld-Wen and PGT, to match your exact rough opening. It costs a little more than an off-the-shelf unit, but it seals correctly and passes HUD pressure testing. Call (754) 238-2201 for a measurement.
A HUD-compliant Door Installation leaves a paper trail: the wind-load certificate, the permit, the inspection record. When an adjuster comes out after a storm, that documentation proves the door was installed correctly. Without it, the claim gets disputed, delayed, or denied. We register both warranty layers and pull the permit on every exterior door job in this park. Call (754) 238-2201 for an install that holds up in court and in a storm.
No. Jalousie and louvered glass offers near-zero hurricane resistance and fails HUD Wind Zone II impact requirements if it’s part of your door assembly. If you have jalousie panels in or beside your entry door, replace them with impact-rated single-hung glazing at the same time. We’ll quote the door and the adjacent window together so the whole opening is compliant. Call (754) 238-2201.
