Mr-Glass Door Installation: The Weston Owner’s Guide

Mr-Glass door installation in Weston typically runs $1,800-$4,200 for a standard replacement, with most projects completed in one working day. We stock Mr-Glass-compatible hardware, seals, and frame assemblies for same-day starts on confirmed orders. Most Weston owners discover a problem when the door sticks in summer humidity, the sweep gap widens enough to let water pool on the tile, or the lockset no longer seats flush after years of frame settling.

Which Mr-Glass Models This Applies To

Mr-Glass produces three door series relevant to Weston homes: the MG-Impact line for hurricane-rated openings, the MG-Thermal series with low-E and argon packages, and the MG-Entry decorative fiberglass and steel collections. The critical compatibility point is the frame depth: MG-Impact uses a 4-9/16 inch jamb as standard, while MG-Thermal ships with a 5-1/4 inch option for thicker wall assemblies common in Weston subdivisions built after 2005. We have seen homeowners order the wrong jamb depth twice in the past year on Town Center corridor jobs, both requiring full re-orders.

To identify your series, check the etched mark on the hinge-side jamb, usually 12 inches above the threshold. It reads MG-I, MG-T, or MG-E followed by a four-digit date code. The date matters: Mr-Glass revised its threshold design in 2019, and pre-2019 MG-Impact doors use a 1-1/8 inch tall composite sill that is no longer manufactured. We stock the updated 1-3/8 inch replacement with a retrofit adapter plate. Sightline Windows & Doors Weston is an independent service provider, not affiliated with Mr-Glass.

For OEM versus quality aftermarket, we default to Mr-Glass factory hardware on impact-rated doors because the Miami-Dade NOA certification is tied to the specific hinge and lockset tested. On MG-Thermal and MG-Entry lines, we use tested equivalents from our verified suppliers when the OEM lead time exceeds two weeks, and we document the substitution on your written scope.

Signs Your Mr-Glass Door Installation Is Failing

• The door drags or binds at the top corner. In Weston, this usually means the composite jamb leg has absorbed moisture through a compromised seal and swelled 1/16 to 1/8 inch. The underlying cause is often failed flashing tape at the head jamb, which we check with a moisture meter before quoting.
• Daylight visible between the door bottom and the threshold. The adjustable sweep has reached its travel limit or the threshold cap has cracked. On MG-Impact doors, this gap also breaks the pressure seal required for hurricane rating.
• Lockset deadbolt does not extend fully or binds. Frame settlement has shifted the strike plate position, or the multi-point hardware has corroded internally. Weston homes on the fill soils near the Everglades edge see this more frequently than those on native rock.
• Condensation between glass lites on a multi-panel door. The insulated glass unit seal has failed. On Mr-Glass doors with SDL grids, the grid bars trap moisture against the spacer, accelerating corrosion. We replace the full IGU, not just the glass.
• Squealing or grinding from a sliding patio door. The tandem roller carriage has flat-spotted or the stainless track has dented from impact. MG-Thermal sliders use a 1-1/4 inch wheel assembly that is not interchangeable with the 1-1/2 inch version used by PGT and CGI.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

The range reflects three variables: frame condition (whether we can reuse the existing rough opening or must reframe), finish complexity (painting or staining to match existing trim), and whether the door is impact-rated, which requires permit submission to Broward County and inspection scheduling. Every quote we write itemizes these separately. The price on the measured survey is the price on the invoice - Haven Clause 1. All Mr-Glass door installations carry our 365-Day Done Right Promise, and we leave a documented photo record of the completed opening.

DIY or Call Us?

There is one thing a Weston owner can safely check: open the door to 90 degrees and sight across the frame. If the hinge jamb bows visibly toward the exterior, the frame is no longer square and the door will never seal properly. Note what you see, then stop.

What goes wrong with DIY on Mr-Glass doors: the multi-point lock systems require precise alignment to within 1/32 inch across three separate latching points, and the pre-drilled locations vary by series year. A mis-drilled hole in an impact-rated jamb voids the NOA certification. On sliding doors, the header track must be shimmed to maintain level within 1/8 inch across the full span, or the rollers will flat-spot again in months. We have re-done three homeowner attempts in Weston in the past eighteen months, each costing more than our original quote would have. Call (754) 812-9260 and we will measure it right the first time. The window does not care how confident you were.
