CGI Impact Garage Doors: The Weston Owner’s Guide
We stock and install CGI-compatible impact garage doors in Weston, with typical installed pricing running $2,800-$5,400 depending on door size, wind-load rating, and whether the opening requires frame replacement. Most CGI impact garage door replacements we measure in Weston are completed within one working day of parts arrival, and we carry common track, roller, and hinge sets for the EntraGuard and StormTuff series on our trucks. Homeowners usually discover the problem when the door hangs crooked in the opening, shudders at a specific point in its travel, or when the impact-rated glass panel shows delamination - a foggy perimeter that means the laminated interlayer has separated under heat and humidity.
Which CGI Models This Applies To
CGI’s impact garage door program breaks into two series we see regularly in Weston: the EntraGuard line for standard residential openings up to 18 feet wide, and the StormTuff line for oversized or high-velocity hurricane zone applications. The label is usually a metal stamp on the hinge-side track or a sticker on the interior face of the bottom panel; if that’s gone, measure the panel thickness - EntraGuard runs 1-3/8 inches, StormTuff runs 2 inches - and note the wind-load sticker on the door’s leading edge, which will show a PSF rating.
CGI OEM parts ship from their Florida distribution center in about three to five business days. We also source aftermarket track and hardware from Clopay and Amarr that meets the same wind-load ratings at roughly 15-20 percent less cost, though we will not substitute aftermarket for CGI’s proprietary impact glazing or reinforced bottom brackets - those are engineered as a system, and mixing them voids the door’s Miami-Dade notice of acceptance. Measure it right the first time. The window does not care how confident you were.
Signs Your CGI Impact Garage Door Is Failing

- The door binds or reverses at the same point every cycle. This usually means a bent track section or a seized roller bearing. In Weston, we see this most often on doors facing the Everglades corridor where wind-driven grit works into the roller stems.
- Impact glass shows a foggy perimeter or spiderweb cracks that do not penetrate both layers. The laminated interlayer has failed. It is still holding shards in place, but the impact rating is compromised and the panel will not pass inspection if you sell.
- Bottom panel bows inward or shows rust streaking from the inside face. The reinforced bottom bracket is corroding where it meets the aluminum skin. Weston homes near the Town Center corridor get this worst - the salt-laden air Sonia Raman has documented for years finds any gap in the finish.
- Opener strains, lights dim, or the motor hums without lifting. The torsion spring has lost tension or a cable has frayed. This is not an adjustment problem; the spring is fatigued from cycle count and Florida’s UV heat.
- Weatherstrip pulls away or hardens to a plastic ridge. The PVC fin seal has reached its thermal limit. We replace these with silicone-impregnated bulb seals rated for 180°F surface temperature, which matters on south-facing Weston garages.

| Torsion spring and cable set | $380 - $560 |
What moves the price: frame condition (wood rot in the jamb adds $400-$800), wind-load requirement (HVHZ stickers mean heavier hardware), and whether the opener needs reprogramming for the new door weight. Every quote we write in Weston is the measured survey you keep - Haven Clause 1 - and the final invoice matches it. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers labor and installation; manufacturer defects go through CGI’s 10-year limited warranty on the EntraGuard series, 15-year on StormTuff.
DIY or Call Us?

An owner can safely check three things: whether the opener’s safety sensors are aligned and unobstructed, whether the track mounting brackets have worked loose (tighten with a socket set - do not adjust the track itself), and whether the weatherstrip is simply pulled from its retainer. Beyond that, we recommend against self-service.
Torsion springs store lethal energy. A standard 16-foot door spring holds roughly 10,000 foot-pounds of torque. We have replaced springs on Weston homes where the homeowner’s winding bar slipped, and the resulting damage to the door, the garage interior, and in one case the homeowner’s hand, far exceeded our service call. We are an independent service provider - not affiliated with CGI - and our crews carry the specific winding bars and calibrated scales this work demands.

FAQs
With proper maintenance, 15 to 20 years for the door assembly, 7 to 10 years for the spring and cable set, and 5 to 7 years for the weatherstrip in south-facing exposures. The salt air and thermal cycling near the Town Center corridor shortens weatherstrip life by roughly 20 percent compared to inland Broward. Call (754) 812-9260 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
No. Once the laminated interlayer delaminates or cracks, the panel loses its Miami-Dade impact rating and cannot be restored. We order the replacement panel by the etched serial number in the glass corner, which ensures the new glazing matches the original design pressure rating.

Four to six hours for a standard single or double door, assuming the frame is sound. If we find rot in the jambs during the measured survey - common in Weston homes built between 1995 and 2005 with untreated wood frames - we add a half day for sistering or replacement. Call (754) 812-9260 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
We carry rollers, hinges, track sections, and weatherstrip for the EntraGuard and StormTuff series. Impact glass panels and complete door slabs ship from CGI’s distribution center and typically arrive within three to five business days. We schedule installation the day after parts receipt.
