CGI Door Replacement Nationwide

CGI Door Replacement in Pasadena: What to Know First

CGI door replacement in Pasadena typically runs $2,800 to $7,400 depending on the series, size, and whether you need the frame rebuilt or just the slab swapped. We’re an independent CGI service provider in Pasadena, not an authorized dealer, which means we fix what’s actually wrong instead of pushing a full-system replacement when a part would do. Most CGI door jobs take one to three days once parts land, and we give you a written price before anything gets ordered. This page is for homeowners in Pasadena, Altadena, San Marino, and South Pasadena who already own a CGI door and want straight answers on repair versus replacement. Call (626) 657-5977 and a real person picks up.

Key takeaways:

• CGI doors fail in predictable ways: roller wear, panel delamination, frame sag, and weatherstripping rot from Pasadena’s dry-heat-and-smog cycle.
• Parts availability for CGI hinges on your series and age, and we’ll tell you honestly when an aftermarket part beats waiting on a backordered OEM one.
• Every job gets a written price before work starts, covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

How CGI Products Fail, and How We Fix Them

• Sagging or binding door panels on the Estate Collection. We see this often in Pasadena homes built in the early 2000s. The hinge screws were driven into wood that has since dried and cracked after two decades of Santa Ana winds and summer heat. The door starts dragging on the threshold, and homeowners assume they need a new slab. We pull the hinges, re-anchor with longer screws into solid framing, and realign the panel. Half the time that’s the whole job, and the door opens like new.
• Roller failures on the Targa and Sierra series sliding doors. CGI uses steel ball-bearing rollers, which is good, but they wear unevenly when the bottom track collects the fine grit that blows down from the San Gabriels. A worn roller makes the door feel heavy and scrape. We replace them with matched-weight rollers and clean the track channels, not just the surface. If you hear a grinding sound when sliding a CGI door, the roller is almost always the culprit, not the track.
• Weatherstripping degradation on the Elegance line French doors. Pasadena’s UV exposure is brutal on rubber and foam seals. After five to seven years, the compression strips on CGI French doors flatten and crack, letting air and dust through. We replace the weatherstripping in place, which restores the seal and the door’s clean close without removing the panel from the frame.
• Frame rot at the threshold on older CGI swing doors. This one is specific to homes where irrigation spray hits the door base, which is common in Pasadena’s bungalow neighborhoods with raised planters near entryways. The aluminum cladding hides it until the threshold feels soft. We pull the door, cut out the rotted section, rebuild the sill with pressure-treated lumber and flashing, then reset the CGI door with a new sweep and threshold cap. The door itself often survives, saved by the cladding.
• Panel delamination on impact-rated CGI doors exposed to full afternoon sun. CGI’s laminated glass holds up well, but the interior veneer on some of the woodgrain series starts separating at the bottom corners after years of direct southern exposure. We see it most on doors facing the San Gabriel Valley with no porch overhang. When delamination is the issue, replacement is usually the honest call, because patching veneer on an impact-rated panel compromises the assembly. We’ll tell you that upfront before quoting anything.

Our CGI Door Replacement Process

1. 1
   You call (626) 657-5977. A live person answers, we ask about your CGI door, and we schedule a visit at a time that works for you.
2. 2
   We inspect the door and frame. Sean Mackey or one of our techs measures the rough opening, checks square and level, and documents the existing CGI series, glass type, and hardware. If the frame is out of square, we find out why before anything gets ordered. As Sean puts it, “If the frame isn’t right, nothing else matters, let’s start there.”
3. 3
   We give you a written price. No verbal ballpark that changes later. The quote includes parts, labor, and disposal, broken out line by line. You approve it before we order anything.
4. 4
   Parts decision made together. If your CGI series is current, we source OEM. If it’s discontinued or backordered, we walk you through the aftermarket options, what changes, and what stays warranty-safe. You make the call with our recommendation in hand.
5. 5
   We install and test. The old door comes out, the new one goes in, and we run it through full cycles: open, close, lock, unlock. We check the reveal gaps, the threshold seal, and the hardware throw.
6. 6
   We clean up and hand you the paperwork. You get before-and-after photos, a digital invoice, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything isn’t right within a year, we come back at no charge.
