AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Delray Beach
A new entry door or sliding door in Delray Beach needs to do more than open and close. It needs to meet Palm Beach County’s coastal High-Wind Zone requirements, survive Atlantic salt air, and in most of the 55+ condo communities here, pass an HOA architectural review before the county will even look at a permit. We’ve been doing exactly that work since 2008. Our crews know the two-track approval process in Century Village, Kings Point, and the barrier island corridor on A1A. Call (954) 280-4413 and a person answers, not a recording.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane because he got tired of seeing out-of-true installs and voided warranties in South Florida homes. We hire local, put background-checked uniformed technicians on every job, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. It’s a policy we call The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every door we install in Delray Beach.
Our Delray Beach customers deal with the same person from first quote to final inspection. No call center, no regional dispatcher who’s never driven on Linton Boulevard. We answer the phone 24/7, and when you schedule, we’ll be there when we say. Our technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and stand behind the work for 90 days with our Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork fights.
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines including, PGT, CGI. That matters in Delray Beach, where the coastal wind code eliminates a lot of products sold legally in Orlando or Tampa.
Our Door Installation Services in Delray Beach
We install and replace entry doors, storm doors, French doors, and impact-rated sliders throughout Delray Beach. Here’s what that looks like in your home.
Storm Doors
A storm door in Delray Beach isn’t a cosmetic addition. It’s a first line against wind-driven rain and salt air. We install storm doors with tempered glass, reinforced frames, and weatherstripping rated for coastal exposure. For homes on the A1A barrier island, we recommend anodized frames with upgraded corrosion protection. Standard aluminum pitting can show up within two years that close to the ocean.
Impact-Rated Entry & Swing Doors
If your entry door faces the ocean, or your home is in a 55+ community built before Hurricane Andrew, an impact-rated swing door is often the right call for a code-compliant opening. We quote Andersen and PGT impact doors side by side on paper, so you see the actual product spec and Florida Product Approval number before you commit. The county permit office will check that number.
Double & French Doors
French doors on a Delray Beach patio have to do two things: swing true and seal against wind shear. We install them with fusion-welded frames and multipoint locking hardware. For CBS homes built in the 1970s through 1990s, we often replace original aluminum sliders with double French doors that meet current wind-load code without altering the rough opening. We measure twice, order once.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Folding doors open a living room to a lanai, but they also create a wide opening that wind can push against. In Delray Beach, bifold door installation has to be anchored with reinforced headers and impact-rated panels when the opening faces east or west. We pull the Palm Beach County permit, coordinate inspections, and register the warranty before we leave.
Pivot Doors
A pivot door is heavy, and in a coastal wind zone, weight without proper anchoring is a problem. We install pivot doors with reinforced steel framing and wind-load-rated hinges, especially for modern homes along the barrier island. The look is dramatic. The engineering is what keeps it square after a summer of thermal expansion and salt humidity.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
We’re an authorized installer for ViewLux impact doors entry systems, and PGT storm-rated products, among more than a dozen lines. That means we quote actual manufacturer prices, not inflated retail numbers with a mystery discount. For Delray Beach customers, we stock common replacement hardware and seals for these brands locally, so a service call doesn’t turn into a six-week wait for a part to ship from a warehouse in another state.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
These are the failures we fix most often here, from Century Village to the oceanfront:
- HOA rejection after installation. In Century Village and Kings Point, the architectural committee must approve frame color, grid pattern, and product specs in writing before the county permit gets pulled. We’ve seen contractors skip that step and absorb the removal cost. We don’t pull a permit until we have the HOA letter in hand.
- Wrong Florida Product Approval rating. A door rated for inland counties is not compliant in Palm Beach County’s High-Wind Zone. When it fails a windstorm claim, the insurer denies it. We verify the approval number against county code before we order.
- Salt-air corrosion on barrier island homes. West-facing doors on A1A take direct Atlantic exposure. Standard aluminum frames pit and seals fail within a few years. We specify anodized finishes and upgraded weatherstripping for anything within a mile of the beach.
- Jalousie-era door frames. Many original 1970s condo doors were installed with narrow frames not designed for today’s impact glass weight. Installing a heavy rated panel into a weak frame is a structural failure waiting to happen. We reinforce the rough opening before setting the new door.

How Wind-Load Compliance Actually Works in Delray Beach
Delray Beach sits in Palm Beach County’s coastal High-Wind Zone. That’s different from HVHZ, the stricter code that governs Miami-Dade and Broward counties. A door with a Florida Product Approval rating valid in the High-Wind Zone may not carry an HVHZ rating, but a door sold in Orlando or Tampa often has no coastal rating at all. That’s the trap. If you buy a door rated only for inland exposure, the county won’t pass the inspection, and your insurer has grounds to deny a future windstorm claim.
What a compliant door package includes in Delray Beach:
- A Florida Product Approval number that matches Palm Beach County’s High-Wind Zone code requirements, printed on the quote
- Impact-rated glass with a documented design pressure rating that exceeds the wind-load minimum for your exposure category
- Perimeter flashing tape and a fusion-welded frame for a sealed unit, not a mechanically joined knock-down frame
- Written HOA architectural committee approval for frame color, grid pattern, and product spec before the county permit is pulled
- A final county inspection record you can submit to your insurer
In a Kings Point condo, our crew replaced a corroded 1970s aluminum sliding door with a ViewLux impact-rated insulated glass unit. We first got the HOA’s written approval for the original bronze anodized frame profile and SDL grid pattern. Only then did we coordinate the Palm Beach County permit. We installed the door with flashing tape and a fusion-welded frame to meet wind-load requirements. The owner now has documentation for their insurer showing full compliance with the county’s high-wind code. That’s the difference between an installation that passes inspection and one that becomes the reason an insurance company says no.
Delray Beach’s Two-Track Approval: HOA + County Permit
What makes Delray Beach different from Boca Raton or Deerfield Beach is the concentration of age-restricted condo communities. Kings Point alone covers over 1,000 acres. Century Village has its own architectural review board. In these communities, the HOA committee must approve your door’s frame color, grid pattern, and product specification in writing before Palm Beach County will accept a permit application. Miss that step and you’ll have a finished installation the association can reject, leaving you with the cost to remove and redo it.
We handle both tracks. We submit the HOA package first, wait for the written approval, then pull the county permit. We don’t order product until the specifications are locked. For a homeowner in a building with a strict bronze anodized frame requirement and a specific SDL grid, a contractor who orders first and asks later is a five-figure mistake waiting to happen.

FAQs - Door Installation in Delray Beach
Your door needs a Florida Product Approval number showing compliance with Palm Beach County’s coastal High-Wind Zone design pressure requirements, which generally means a design pressure rating of at least 50 psf for enclosed structures and higher for Barrier Island exposure. The exact number depends on your home’s location and whether the door faces the ocean. We’ll confirm the required rating for your specific address before quoting. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact quote, free.
Century Village’s architectural committee enforces uniform exterior appearance rules in its covenants, requiring written approval of frame color, grid pattern, and product specifications before any exterior alteration. Palm Beach County will not issue a permit for condo work until the association gives written sign-off. You need the HOA letter first. We handle that step for you as part of the installation.
No. An inspector will look for a Florida Product Approval number tied to the door’s impact rating and design pressure. If the door lacks it or the rating is inland-only, the inspection fails, and the insurer can exclude windstorm coverage for that opening. That’s a hard stop, not a minor citation.
Salt air accelerates aluminum oxidation and rust on exposed hardware, especially west-facing doors on A1A and homes within two miles of the ocean. We specify anodized frames, stainless or coated fasteners, and marine-grade weatherstripping for anything in the coastal spray zone. Standard hardware will show pitting within a few years.
You can technically install a non-impact door if it’s not required by your existing policy or your building’s code path, but most insurers in Palm Beach County will not write new coverage or renew a policy for a home with non-impact openings facing the wind. Even if your current carrier hasn’t flagged it, a change in underwriting could. We’ll tell you what your options are and quote both impact and non-impact honestly. Call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll walk through it.
