AfterTrusted Door Installation for Davie Homeowners
A door that drags on the threshold, binds against the jamb, or lets daylight through the weatherstripping is telling you something. The opening has moved, the original install was never true, or twenty years of Florida humidity has done its work. Door installation in Davie is not a cosmetic fix - it is the difference between a house that seals and locks and one that fights you every time you reach for the handle. TruePane Windows & Doors has set doors in Davie, Cooper City, and Southwest Ranches since 2008, and Dale Kessler still runs the company by the rule he wrote on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Call (863) 208-5172 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.
What Our Door Installation Service Includes
Entry & Swing Doors
An entry door carries weight that no other door in the house does. It secures the home, seals the air envelope, and gets opened and closed thousands of times a year. When we set an entry or swing door in Davie, we start with the rough opening - checking the framing for square before the first screw goes in. We level the sill, shim the jamb, and set the door so the reveal is even on all three sides. Most entry door installations are completed in a single visit, with the hardware adjusted and the deadbolt throwing clean before we leave.
Double & French Doors
Double and French doors fail when the two panels stop meeting in the middle. The astragal sags, the lock set misses, and the doors leak air at the center seam. TruePane sets double doors as a matched pair, not as two singles that happen to share an opening. We adjust the hinges so both panels carry their own weight and the center line stays tight through every season. If the floor has settled or the opening has racked, we correct the frame before the doors go in, not after.
Bifold & Folding Doors
Bifold and folding door systems depend on a straight track and a square opening, or the panels bind halfway through the fold. We set the track level with a laser, hang the panels in sequence, and adjust each pivot so the door folds without drag and stacks flat against the wall. For exterior folding doors in Davie, we pay particular attention to the sill and drainage - a folding door that does not shed water will rot the subfloor inside two wet seasons. The hardware gets lubed, the stops get set, and the finished panel line runs true.
Pivot Doors
A pivot door is heavy, and the pivot hinge system has to carry that weight cleanly or the door will drop and scrape the floor. We set pivot doors in Davie on reinforced framing, with the pivot plates anchored into structural blocking. The gap around a pivot door should be consistent top to bottom, and we adjust the pivot points until it is. Pivot doors are unforgiving of sloppy rough openings, so the prep work matters as much as the install.
Storm Doors
A storm door is the sacrificial layer between Florida weather and your front door, but only if it is installed square. A storm door that is hung off-level will pinch at the closer, drag at the latch, and rattle every time the wind picks up off the Everglades. We install storm doors in Davie with the same attention we give to a full entry system - shimmed, sealed, and adjusted so the closer pulls the door in a clean arc. The result is a door that actually ventilates in winter and seals in summer.
Arched & Custom Doors
Arched and custom doors cannot be ordered out of a bin and forced into a standard opening. They are measured, built, and set to the specific dimensions of the house. TruePane handles arched and custom door installation in Davie by taking field measurements and verifying them against the rough opening before the order goes to the manufacturer. When the door arrives, we set it with the same standard we use on every job: level, plumb, square, and true. If the arch reveals are off even an eighth of an inch, we fix it before the trim goes up.

Brands We Service for Door Installation
We install PGT doors throughout Davie, and we know that product line from the impact-rated options to the standard aluminum frames. PGT doors are common in this market for a reason - they are engineered for hurricane country, and they perform when the rough opening is prepared correctly. We have set enough PGT units to know exactly how the frame wants to be shimmed, and how the threshold should seal against the curb.
We also install and service CGi doors, including their impact lines, and Simonton door products where the project calls for them. Our technicians are authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, which matters when a warranty claim is on the line. We register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and we state the durations on paper. Whether you have PGT, CGi, Simonton, or any other make, we can set it, adjust it, and stand behind the work for 90 days with the Done Right Promise.
Signs You Need Door Installation Right Now
- The door drags or sticks when you open it. This means the hinges are carrying weight unevenly, or the rough opening has shifted. In Davie, where soil moisture swings seasonally, slabs settle and openings rack - a dragging door is usually the first sign. It will not correct itself, and it only gets harder on the hinges.
- You can see daylight around the door when it is closed. Light at the threshold or along the sides means the weatherstripping is not compressed evenly. That gap is also an air leak, a water entry point, and a pest highway. A properly set door seals uniformly on all three sides.
- The deadbolt no longer throws cleanly. When the lock set and strike plate stop aligning, the door panel has moved or the frame has warped. Forcing the bolt only bends hardware and gives you a false sense of security. Realigning the door and frame is a structural fix, not a locksmith call.
- The door slams shut on its own, or will not stay open. An out-of-plumb door will swing on its own. That is more than annoying - it puts stress on the hinges and the closer, and it is a finger trap waiting to happen. The fix is resetting the door so it hangs balanced.
- The frame is soft at the bottom or at the latch plate. Use a screwdriver tip to probe along the bottom rail of the jamb. If it sinks in, you have rot, and no new door will hold in a rotted frame. The rough opening needs to be rebuilt before installation, which we handle in-house.
Our Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
We measure the opening, not the old door. Every installation starts with a field measure of the rough opening, checked at multiple points for square and plumb. We measure twice because the opening is the truth - the old door may have been shimmed into a bad frame, and we want to know what the house is actually doing before we order or set anything.
- 2
We show you the options on paper, side by side. Before you commit, we quote the manufacturer lines you are considering, in writing, with the costs listed next to each other. No verbal estimates, no vague “we’ll get you a number.” You see what a PGT door will cost next to a CGi or Simonton option, and you decide with full information.
- 3
We prep the rough opening the right way. If the framing is rotted, racked, or undersized, we fix it before the door goes in. That means pulling damaged lumber, adding proper blocking, and resetting the opening so it is square and level. Skipping this step is how doors end up binding again in three years.
- 4
We set the door true, level, and square. The new door goes in shimmed at every hinge point and anchor location, with the slab or frame checked for plumb in both directions. The reveal is set even on all sides, the threshold is bedded and sealed, and the hardware is installed and adjusted. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- 5
We register the warranties and walk the job with you. Before the truck leaves your Davie driveway, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing and the durations are stated on the paperwork. We walk you through the operation of the door, the hardware, and the care that will keep it working. You get the Done Right Promise in writing, and you get a phone number that a live person answers.
How Much Does Door Installation Cost in Davie?
A standard entry door installation in Davie typically runs $350 to $900 in labor, depending on the condition of the rough opening and whether the old door and frame come out clean. A double or French door installation runs higher, usually $600 to $1,400, because there are two panels to hang, match, and adjust together. Pivot doors and custom arched doors start around $900 in labor and go up from there based on size, weight, and the framing reinforcement the opening requires. Storm door installation is the most straightforward, generally $200 to $400 in labor.
What changes the price most often in Davie is the rough opening. If the framing is rotted from years of South Florida rain, or the opening has settled out of square, that work has to happen before the door goes in. A free estimate from TruePane includes a look at the framing, not just a tape measure on the old door. You will see the line items in writing before you commit, with no change orders appearing halfway through the job.

Frequently Asked Questions - Door Installation in Davie
Door installation is the process of removing an old door and frame, preparing the rough opening, and setting a new door so it hangs level, plumb, and square. It is not just hanging a slab on hinges - it includes shimming the jamb, sealing the threshold, adjusting the hardware, and making sure the door closes and locks correctly. In Davie, proper installation also means accounting for humidity, rain exposure, and the way local soil shifts affect framing over time. We also offer Door Installation in Pembroke Pines with the same attention to local conditions.
Most standard entry door installations in Davie are completed in a single visit, usually 3 to 5 hours from arrival to final walkthrough.
