New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Sightline Windows & Doors Plantation pairs proven product lines with our own installing crews for lasting performance - and a price we put in writing.
1. Choose your installer
The unit is half the job - the install is the other half. Our own background-checked crews measure, set, seal and insulate every opening, and they know the lines we quote inside and out because they install them every week.
2. Select the right products
Compare styles, materials and glass packages side by side until the fit is right for your rooms, your budget and your goals. The product-line comparison below is the place to start.
3. Prepare your home for install
Before install day we walk you through a short checklist - furniture pulled back, treatments down, a clear path to each opening - so install day is watch-it-happen, not scramble.

Mr-Glass Door Installation: The Plantation Owner’s Guide
Mr-Glass door installation in Plantation typically runs $1,800 to $4,200 for a standard single entry unit, depending on impact rating, frame material, and whether the opening needs structural reframing. We stock Mr-Glass hardware and keep common frame sizes on hand, so most replacements start within two business days once the measured survey is complete. Homeowners usually discover a failing Mr-Glass door when the sweep drags, the multipoint lock won’t engage all three bolts, or they notice daylight between the jamb and the weatherstrip after a hard rain.
Which Mr-Glass Models This Applies To
Mr-Glass produces three door series relevant to Plantation homes: the MG-Impact line for hurricane-rated openings, the MG-Thermal series for energy-focused retrofits, and the MG-Entry line for standard replacement. The label is stamped on the hinge edge of the door slab, not the frame, which catches some homeowners off guard when they’re trying to match hardware. We see this most often with MG-Impact 72-inch double units installed in Plantation’s Jacaranda and Plantation Acres subdivisions between 2018 and 2022, where the original multipoint mechanisms are beginning to show wear from salt air and thermal cycling.
OEM Mr-Glass hardware ships from their Tampa distribution center with a 10-to-14-day lead time. We keep compatible aftermarket multipoint kits from Hoppe and GU on our trucks, specified to Mr-Glass backset and faceplate dimensions. The aftermarket route saves roughly $140 to $220 on hardware cost and carries the same 365-Day Done Right Promise. For warranty-registered MG-Impact units still under the manufacturer’s 10-year structural coverage, we source OEM to preserve that protection and document the part number in your photo record.
Before
AfterSigns Your Mr-Glass Door Installation Is Failing
- The deadbolt throws, but the auxiliary bolts don’t. The multipoint gearbox has stripped internally. In Plantation’s humidity, the zinc alloy casting corrodes at the cam interface after roughly 6 to 8 years of daily use. The door still latches, but it’s no longer a security door.
- Water pools on the interior sill after a summer storm. The door sweep or sill cap has compressed beyond recovery. Mr-Glass uses a proprietary sweep profile with a dual-fin design; generic replacements don’t seat correctly and channel water inward instead of out.
- The door sticks in summer and rattles in winter. Frame expansion from heat and humidity has thrown the sightline out of square. This is common in west-facing Mr-Glass units on Plantation homes with dark exterior paint, where surface temperatures exceed 140°F.
- Glass fog between the panes that doesn’t clear. The insulated glass unit seal has failed. Mr-Glass IGU warranties run 10 years from manufacture date, but the installation date determines whether labor is covered. We check both before quoting.
- Hinges sag or the door drags the threshold. The hinge screws have backed out of the composite jamb, or the hinge barrel itself has worn oval. Mr-Glass hinges are not interchangeable with standard residential hardware; the pivot geometry differs by 3/16 inch.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
| Component | Price Range (Installed) |
|---|---|
| Mr-Glass standard entry door, single | $1,800 - $2,800 |
| Mr-Glass impact-rated entry door, single | $2,600 - $4,200 |
| Multipoint lock hardware replacement | $340 - $580 |
| Insulated glass unit (IGU) replacement | $420 - $760 |
| Complete frame and jamb replacement | $680 - $1,200 additional |
What drives the range: impact rating (MG-Impact vs. MG-Entry), frame material (aluminum-clad vs. fiberglass), and whether the rough opening needs reframing for plumb. Every quote we write in Plantation includes the measured survey you keep, the written scope with line-item pricing, and the photo record delivered after installation. No change orders. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers labor and installation materials; manufacturer defects follow Mr-Glass’s own coverage terms.
DIY or Call Us?
There’s a short list of checks that won’t void anything: verify the label location for model identification, photograph the existing hardware stamps, and confirm whether your unit is still under Mr-Glass warranty registration. Beyond that, door installation carries real risk. A full-slab Mr-Glass impact unit weighs 180 to 240 pounds. The multipoint lock requires precise mortising and three-point alignment; misalignment stresses the gearbox and voids the hardware warranty. And if you’re working with an impact-rated unit, any field modification to the frame or glazing stop compromises the HVHZ certification.
We are an independent service provider, not affiliated with Mr-Glass. Our crews carry Mr-Glass-compatible hardware on the truck, and we pull permits through the City of Plantation Building Department when structural modification is involved. Call (754) 704-3597 to schedule your free measured survey.
FAQs
In South Florida’s climate, a properly installed Mr-Glass entry door lasts 15 to 20 years for standard units, 20 to 25 for impact-rated fiberglass. The multipoint hardware is usually the first component to fail, at 6 to 10 years depending on exposure and maintenance. Call (754) 704-3597 for an exact quote on replacement hardware or full unit replacement - estimates are free.
Hardware, glass, and weatherstrip can be repaired or replaced independently. If the frame is rotted, the slab is delaminating, or the unit is pre-2015 and non-impact-rated, replacement is the sounder investment. We stock repair parts for MG-Impact and MG-Thermal series and will tell you straight which path costs less over the remaining life of the opening. Call (754) 704-3597 for a free second opinion on any written estimate.
A standard replacement in an existing opening takes one day, start to finish. If the rough opening needs reframing or we’re converting a standard door to impact-rated, plan on two days plus the City of Plantation inspection window. We schedule the inspection, not you. Call (754) 704-3597 to book a measured survey and get a written timeline with your quote.
We stock common Mr-Glass frame sizes and hardware in our Plantation warehouse. Custom sizes, specialty glass, or MG-Impact units with specific Miami-Dade HVHZ ratings typically ship from Tampa in 10 to 14 days. We’ll confirm stock status during the measured survey and note it on your written quote. Call (754) 704-3597 to check availability for your specific model.
We also stock and install parts for PGT, CGI, and CWS door systems if your home has mixed manufacturer openings.
Sonia Raman still keeps that field notebook - the one her crew calls “the manual” - and she’ll tell you the same thing she wrote in it during her first year after Miami Dade College: “Measure it right the first time, write it down, and the installation takes care of itself.” That’s Haven Clause 1, and it’s how we’ve handled 18,000-plus openings since 2012.
Ready for a written price before any work starts? Call (754) 704-3597 to schedule your free measured survey. You’ll keep the survey document, receive a line-item quote that cannot change, and get a documented photo record when the job is done. That’s the Haven Standard. No surprises.
