CGI Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Lauderhill: What to Know First
CGI sliding glass and patio doors in Lauderhill can almost always be repaired rather than replaced, and our typical turnaround for a service call is two to three business days from the first phone call. We’re an independent CGI service provider, not a CGI dealer, which means we answer to you on price and parts rather than to a manufacturer’s sales quota. If your door is binding, leaking, rattling in the track, or the rollers sound like gravel, call (850) 303-7739 for a free estimate.
This page is for Lauderhill homeowners who own CGI doors and want straight answers on what’s wrong, what it costs, and who can be trusted to fix it without voiding the warranty. We’ll walk through the failure points we actually see in Broward County homes, what the repair involves, and how we price it.
How CGI Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Roller seizure on CGI Estate and Targa series doors. CGI uses stainless steel rollers on many of their sliding and patio door lines, but the Lauderhill humidity plus sand and fine grit from landscaping works its way into the roller housing. The roller stops spinning and the door starts scraping metal on metal. We replace the roller assembly with an OEM-spec part or a quality aftermarket equivalent, clean the track, and realign the door so the panel sits square in the frame.
- Track deformation on CGI Classic sliding glass doors. Over ten or fifteen years, the aluminum track gets slightly bowed from daily use and occasional impact. A door that once glided now drags at the center. We can often straighten a mild bow; when the track is beyond saving, we replace the track section and reset the panel rather than selling you a new door.
- Weatherstripping compression on CGI Estate patio doors. The original weatherstrip on these doors gets flattened and brittle from the Florida sun. You’ll feel a draft at the meeting stile even when the door is closed. We cut fresh weatherstrip to the exact profile and adhesive-bind it the same way the OEM intended, so the door seals properly against South Florida downpours.
- Lock and strike alignment on Targa and Classic series doors. When the door panel settles or the frame shifts even an eighth of an inch, the lock no longer engages cleanly with the strike plate. A homeowner might think the lock is broken. Usually it’s just misalignment. We reset the panel height, get the lock and strike back in line, and verify the multipoint lock engages at all points.
- Roller adjustment screw stripping on older CGI sliders. We see this on doors that have been adjusted repeatedly with a power drill. The steel screw strips inside the aluminum housing. An owner can’t raise or lower the door anymore. We drill out the old screw, install a helicoil or replacement housing, and reset the panel height properly by hand.
Our CGI Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process
- 1
Call and diagnose. You call (850) 303-7739. A live person answers, every time, 24 hours a day. We ask what the door is doing, what model or series it is if you know, and we schedule a visit.
- 2
On-site measurement and inspection. A background-checked uniformed technician arrives on time. We measure the panel, check the rollers, track, weatherstripping, and lock, and we open the door fully to see exactly where it’s failing.
- 3
Parts decision. We tell you on the spot whether an OEM CGI part is the right call or if a quality aftermarket equivalent does the same job for less. If your door is still under CGI’s warranty, we keep the work warranty-safe by using spec-compliant parts.
- 4
The repair. We replace rollers, weatherstrip, hardware, or track as needed. We never rush a panel back into the frame. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
- 5
Operational test. We slide the door open and closed multiple times, check the seal, and verify the lock engages cleanly. We watch for anything that would fail again in six months.
- 6
The guarantee. Every job is covered by the Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork fights. No arguing.

FAQs
CGI warranties vary by product line and installation date. Most CGI sliding glass and patio doors carry a limited warranty on the frame and glass, but labor is typically not covered for more than a few years. We can check your door’s model and date code on site and tell you whether the part in question falls inside the warranty window. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll look into it.
Yes, for most operating parts we can source OEM CGI components when that’s what the warranty requires or what you prefer. For some older series, OEM parts are no longer manufactured, and a quality aftermarket equivalent is the only sensible route. If the spec sheet doesn’t back it up, we don’t say it. We’ll show you both options on paper before we order anything.
Repair is the right call unless the frame is severely corroded or the glass is cracked. A roller, weatherstrip, or lock replacement costs a few hundred dollars. A full CGI replacement door costs several thousand. We don’t sell replacements when a repair does the job. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll give you an honest recommendation.
Most repairs are done in a single visit, and we can usually schedule you within two to three business days. If the part has to be ordered, we tell you the lead time before we leave your home that first day. You’ll never be left waiting on a callback.
No. Using spec-compliant parts and following manufacturer installation methods keeps your warranty intact. We register nothing that shouldn’t be registered, and we don’t use parts that would give CGI grounds to deny a claim later. The Keystone Standard means warranty language is always in writing before the work is done.
