CGI Sliding & Patio Doors: The West Palm Beach Owner’s Guide

CGI sliding and patio door repair in West Palm Beach typically runs $340-$890 for installed replacement hardware, rollers, and track systems, with complete panel replacement starting around $2,400. We stock CGI-compatible rollers, tandem assemblies, and weatherstrip profiles on our West Palm Beach trucks, and most part swaps finish in under three hours. Homeowners usually discover the failure when the door sticks in the track during humid mornings, drops visibly on one side, or lets water pool on the tile after a summer storm - signs that the roller housing has cracked or the weep system has clogged with palm debris and sand.

Which CGI Models This Applies To

CGI’s sliding and patio door lineup breaks into three series that share some hardware but not all. The Estate Series uses a heavier tandem roller with a 1-1/4 inch stainless steel wheel and adjustable housing; the Sentinel Series runs a lighter 1-inch nylon roller with a different mounting bracket spacing; and the commercial-grade Targa Series carries a proprietary three-wheel truck assembly that does not cross-fit with residential lines. The series name is stamped on the interior frame edge or on a foil label inside the jamb - not on the glass itself, which catches some owners off guard.

We carry both OEM CGI rollers from the Florida distributor and quality aftermarket equivalents from Truth Hardware and Barton Kramer. The aftermarket tandem rollers match CGI’s load rating and stainless axle spec at roughly 60 percent of OEM cost, but the Targa three-wheel truck is OEM-only - the geometry is too specific. If your door was installed between 2012 and 2019, check the roller housing color: gray housings were a recalled batch prone to UV cracking in South Florida exposure, and we replace those with black UV-stabilized units regardless of what the original invoice says.

Signs Your CGI Sliding & Patio Door Is Failing

• The door sticks or requires shoulder weight to move. This usually means the roller bearings have seized with salt-air corrosion or the wheel has flat-spotted from dragging across a damaged track. In West Palm Beach, we see this accelerate within two blocks of the Intracoastal where salt spray concentrates.
• Visible sag or the latch misses the strike plate. The roller housing has cracked or the adjustment screw has stripped. CGI’s pre-2019 gray housings fail this way predictably; the door drops 1/8 inch and the mortise lock no longer reaches.
• Water intrusion at the sill after rain. The weep holes are blocked with sand, pollen, or insect debris, or the sill track gasket has compressed past recovery. Florida’s driving rains overwhelm a compromised sill faster than owners expect.
• Light visible around the frame perimeter. The pile weatherstrip has worn flat or the brush seal has pulled from its kerf. This is common on north-facing doors in West Palm Beach where UV exposure is less direct but humidity cycling is constant.
• Rattling or whistling during storms. The interlock weatherstrip between panels has hardened or the panel alignment has shifted enough to break the compression seal. This is the failure path that leads to impact-rating compromise.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

What drives the range: panel size (CGI makes up to 12-foot-wide multi-slide units), whether the track is field-repairable or needs full extrusion replacement, and whether the door is on a ground-floor slider or a second-story balcony with limited access. Every quote we write in West Palm Beach starts with a measured survey you keep - frame squareness, sill level, and rough-opening dimensions - and the price on that document matches the final invoice. If the number isn’t on the page, it isn’t in the price. Work carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise under the Haven Standard, with a documented photo record of before, during, and after.

DIY or Call Us?

An owner can safely inspect the roller housing color, clear weep holes with a pipe cleaner, and verify the series label location. Beyond that, CGI sliding doors present two genuine hazards: the panels weigh 80-140 pounds depending on glass thickness, and a dropped panel will shatter tempered glass or damage the impact laminate. The tandem roller adjustment requires supporting the panel weight while working in the track cavity - a two-person job with proper lifts, not a weekend project with a pry bar.

We have also seen homeowners strip the adjustment screws or crack the housing by over-torquing, turning a $400 roller swap into a $900 panel-and-track repair. Our crews carry panel jacks, vacuum cups, and the specific Torx bits CGI uses on its hardware. If you’re in West Palm Beach and the door is sticking, call (561) 354-3861. We’ll measure, quote in writing, and schedule the repair - no deposit, no change orders.
