AfterMr-Glass Door Installation in Palm Beach: What to Know First
Mr-Glass door installation in Palm Beach is a specialty job we handle regularly, and most installations take one to two days once the door arrives or is confirmed in stock. As an independent Mr-Glass service provider, we install, replace, and repair Mr-Glass entry doors, French doors, and storm doors throughout Palm Beach at honest, upfront pricing: expect most jobs to land between $1,800 and $6,400 depending on the door series, size, and whether it’s a single door or a double-door system. If you own a Mr-Glass door and it’s sagging, leaking air, or just never fit right from day one, call (561) 782-7525 for a free estimate. No trip charge in Palm Beach County.
This page is for Mr-Glass owners who want installation done right the first time, by a crew that actually knows the product line and the salt-air realities of South Florida. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and Ed Winslow’s name is on the door – and on every job we do.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
We’ve seen Mr-Glass doors in Palm Beach homes for years, and certain failure patterns show up again and again. Here’s what we find and how we address it:
- Mr-Glass 700 Series entry doors: bottom sweep rot and threshold separation. The 700 Series uses a vinyl sweep that degrades fast in Palm Beach humidity and salt air. Once the sweep fails, water wicks under the threshold and starts eating the subfloor. We pull the door, inspect the rough opening for hidden rot, replace the sweep with a marine-grade alternative, and reset the threshold with proper slope. This is the single most common Mr-Glass issue we correct during installation.
- French door astragal misalignment on the 700 and 5000 Series. The floating astragal between double Mr-Glass doors drifts over time, especially in homes that settle on sandy Palm Beach soil. The doors bind, the lock stops engaging, and the gap lets conditioned air pour out. We realign the astragal, shim the hinges, and lock everything back in place – and we do it without voiding the original warranty, because we’re not swapping in parts the manufacturer doesn’t recognize.
- Improper original installation that Mr-Glass’s warranty won’t cover. A lot of Mr-Glass doors in Palm Beach were put in by crews that didn’t flash the rough opening correctly. Water intrusion follows, the frame rots from the inside, and the manufacturer’s warranty quietly dies because installation errors aren’t covered. We’re the ones who find it, document it, and fix it with proper flashing, sill pan, and sealant work that meets Florida building code.
- Storm door closer and hinge failures from daily salt exposure. On Mr-Glass storm doors, the pneumatic closers and exposed hinges corrode faster in Palm Beach than the manufacturer’s average. We replace them with stainless or PVD-coated hardware during installation so you’re not back on the phone in eighteen months.
- Glass seal failure in Mr-Glass decorative inserts. If you’ve got a Mr-Glass door with decorative glass and it has fogged between the panes, the insulated glass unit has lost its seal. We source IGUs locally, match the thickness and low-E spec, and install them so the door looks factory-fresh. Aftermarket IGU replacement is usually the smart money compared to buying a whole new door.
Our Mr-Glass Door Installation Process
- 1
Call and talk to a live person. When you call (561) 782-7525, you get us – not a call center. We ask for the door’s size, series if you know it, and symptoms. We schedule a free estimate.
- 2
Site inspection and measurement. We check the rough opening, the flooring condition, the existing flashing, and how the door sits in the jamb. If it’s a repair, we diagnose exactly what failed and why.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM vs. aftermarket. If the fix requires parts under an active warranty, we stick with OEM Mr-Glass components. If the warranty is expired and an aftermarket part performs better – like a stainless closer on a storm door – we tell you the honest trade-off and let you decide. No surprise swaps.
- 4
Installation by background-checked techs. Our uniformed crew removes the old door, repairs any hidden framing or water damage, installs the new door with proper flashing and insulation, and makes sure the reveal is even on all four sides.
- 5
Test and walkthrough. We open, close, lock, and check the sweep and weatherstripping. Water-tested where possible. You inspect the work with us before we leave.
- 6
The Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Ed Winslow makes it right. Period.

FAQs
No, not when it’s installed correctly. We follow Mr-Glass’s installation specs, use OEM parts when a warranty is active, and document everything. If a defect appears later, you’ll have the paperwork to support a claim.
Yes. We work with local suppliers and order direct when needed. Most common Mr-Glass parts arrive in three to five business days. Storm door hardware is usually in stock locally.
If the frame is sound and the issue is hardware, glass, or weatherstripping, repair is almost always the better value. If the frame has rot or water damage, or the door has failed at multiple points, replacement usually costs less over five years. We’ll give you the real number either way.
No. We write line-item quotes and honor them. The only reason we’d revise a quote is if we find hidden structural damage the quote didn’t cover – and we’ll show you photos and talk it through before we touch anything else.
Most single-door Mr-Glass installs finish in one day. Double French doors or jobs with significant framing repair run two days. We protect the work area and clean up before we leave.
