AfterFast, Reliable Door Installation Across Lantana
Door installation in Lantana runs between $1,100 and $4,800 for most entry and swing doors, with impact-rated fiberglass units on the higher end and standard steel or wood slabs on the lower. What changes that number more than anything is salt air. Lantana sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway with the Atlantic less than two miles east, so the air that touches your front door also touches the ocean an hour earlier. We’ve been replacing and installing doors in this specific climate long enough to know which materials hold up and which ones give out in five to seven years. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate on any door project in Lantana.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Lantana’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Our crews work in Lantana regularly, and we know the town’s housing stock before we even pull up. Most homes here are concrete-block-stucco built between the 1950s and 1970s, many still carrying original aluminum entry doors and jalousie panels that predate Florida’s impact requirements. When a homeowner on Lantana’s east side calls us about a door binding in the frame, we already suspect oxidized aluminum jambs and seized steel hinges. When they call from a canal-front lot off Hypoluxo Road, we check the threshold pan for salt corrosion before we even look at the hinges. That local knowledge saves time and money. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our South Florida office, with uniformed, background-checked technicians serving Lantana directly. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a simple rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We stand behind every install with the 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Our Door Installation Services in Lantana
Entry & Swing Doors
Entry doors in Lantana take a beating that inland doors never see. Salt-laden air oxidizes aluminum frames and seizes steel hinges within years, not decades. We specify stainless steel hinges, marine-grade threshold pans, and impact-rated slabs that meet Palm Beach County’s high-velocity hurricane zone requirements. A standard entry door replacement in Lantana runs $1,400 to $3,800 depending on slab material and opening size. Older CBS homes often have non-standard rough openings, which means custom or near-custom units rather than off-the-shelf slabs.
Storm Doors
A storm door on a Lantana home does double duty: it shields the primary entry door from direct salt spray and adds a layer of impact protection during hurricane season. We install storm doors from Andersen, both of which hold up to coastal conditions better than big-box aluminum frames. Expect to pay $900 to $2,400 for a quality storm door installed in Lantana. Weatherstripping on storm doors here degrades fast from salt crystallization, so we use compression seals rated for marine environments and check them at every service call.
Double & French Doors
French doors facing the Intracoastal or the Atlantic side of Lantana need more than pretty glass. They need impact-rated insulated glazing, reinforced stiles, and hardware that will not rust shut within three years. Our crews regularly replace double doors on 1960s ranch homes along Lantana Road where the original aluminum frames have oxidized into the rough opening. A pair of impact-rated French doors in Lantana runs $3,200 to $7,500 depending on width, glass package, and whether the rough opening needs reframing.
Pivot Doors
Pivot doors are popular on Lantana’s newer canal-front builds and renovated mid-century homes, but they fail fast if the pivot hardware is not marine-grade. A steel pivot set that works fine in Wellington will seize with rust within three seasons here. We specify stainless steel pivot systems and reinforced jambs rated for the weight of a full pivot slab. Custom pivot door installation in Lantana typically runs $4,000 to $9,000 depending on size, slab material, and hardware package. If the floor track is not anchored into solid CBS or engineered blocking, we open the slab and do it right.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Lantana’s coastal conditions we lean on three brands that hold up to salt air: Andersen, Pella. Each offers impact-rated fiberglass or composite slabs with factory finishes that resist the oxidation we see on aluminum frames within five to seven years in this town. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying and what each warranty covers. Before our truck leaves your Lantana driveway, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing under The Keystone Standard. No fine print, no arguing later.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Aluminum frame oxidation: On Lantana’s 1950s through 1970s CBS homes, aluminum door frames oxidize and swell within five to seven years of salt exposure. The door starts sticking at the jamb in July, and by year eight the deadbolt will not engage because the frame has shifted.
- Corroded threshold pans: Salt air eats through standard aluminum threshold pans on Lantana’s east-side bungalows, and water wicks into the slab. The bottom of the wood jamb rots before the homeowner sees any visible damage at the threshold.
- Code-triggered replacement: Original jalousie door panels and single-pane non-impact sashes fail Palm Beach County code the moment a permit triggers an inspection. Contractors pulling permits for unrelated remodels in Lantana are flagging these openings, and homeowners get hit with mandatory replacements they had not budgeted for.
- Seized hinges and hardware: Steel hinges and screws on entry doors seize with rust within two to three years in Lantana’s salt air. The door sags and binds before the frame itself fails, and the fix is not lubricant. It is stainless steel hardware from the start.
Pricing for Door Installation in Lantana, FL
What you pay for a door in Lantana is set by two things: the material spec and the condition of the rough opening. Entry and swing doors run $1,400 to $3,800. Storm doors run $900 to $2,400. Double and French doors run $3,200 to $7,500. Pivot doors run $4,000 to $9,000. The coastal-spec version of any job costs 15 to 30 percent more than the inland-spec version because you are buying stainless hardware, marine-grade thresholds, and impact-rated glazing. The cheap spec costs more within a decade when salt air eats the frame and the door binds in July. We give upfront line-item pricing in writing before work starts, and we offer a permanent 5 percent discount for seniors and veterans in Lantana. Call (813) 320-9346 to schedule your free estimate.

FAQs - Door Installation in Lantana
Lantana sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway with the Atlantic less than two miles east, which puts every street in town in the salt spray zone. Lake Worth and Boynton Beach have the same ocean, but Lantana’s narrower east-west footprint means fewer blocks buffer the wind. Salt-laden air here oxidizes aluminum frames and seizes steel hardware within five to seven years, not the fifteen to twenty you see further inland. The fix is not more maintenance. It is marine-grade materials from the start: stainless steel hinges, composite or fiberglass slabs, and threshold pans rated for coastal exposure. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free assessment of your existing door.
Yes, impact-rated doors are required for any permitted door replacement in Lantana because the town sits in Palm Beach County’s high-velocity hurricane zone. A standard non-impact door will not pass inspection, and attempting to install one is money wasted. If your home still has original single-pane or jalousie door panels, a permit-triggered inspection will flag them for replacement anyway. Impact-rated fiberglass and composite doors from Andersen, Pella meet the code requirement and hold up to salt air far better than aluminum. Call (813) 320-9346 for exact pricing on a code-compliant door for your Lantana home.
Specify stainless steel for every piece of hardware that touches the slab or the jamb: hinges, screws, threshold pans, and the deadbolt strike plate. Standard zinc or plated steel hardware will rust and seize within two to three years in Lantana’s salt air, and the door will sag before the frame fails. For canal-front or direct-ocean-facing homes, we also recommend marine-grade compression weatherstripping that resists salt crystallization. Our team installs stainless hardware as standard on every Lantana job because we know what this climate does to cheap parts. Call (813) 320-9346 to have your existing hardware checked.
You need a whole new door. Jalousie door panels on 1960s Lantana bungalows are non-impact and do not meet Palm Beach County code, so replacing just the glass leaves you with a door that still fails inspection and provides no hurricane protection. We remove the entire jalousie frame, reframe the rough opening for a standard slab, and install an impact-rated fiberglass or composite door with stainless hardware. On a 1960s bungalow just off West Pine Street, our crew pulled a corroded original aluminum entry door where the jamb had oxidized so badly the deadbolt no longer engaged. We reframed the opening for a custom ViewLux fiberglass door with stainless steel hinges and a marine-grade threshold pan, then wrapped the rough opening in flashing tape to keep salt-laden air from reaching the new jamb. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free estimate on your bungalow.
Look for fogging or condensation between the glass panes. If you see moisture inside the insulated glass unit that you cannot wipe off, the seal has failed and the argon has leaked out. In Lantana’s salt air, seal failure happens faster because salt crystallization attacks the sealant edge and breaks the air seal, which also raises the U-factor and makes the door less efficient. A failed insulated glass unit cannot be recharged. It must be replaced. Our team can inspect your existing door glass and tell you whether a full door replacement or a glass-only repair makes sense for your budget. Call (813) 320-9346 for a free evaluation.
