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.

CGI Impact Garage Doors: The Pompano Beach Owner’s Guide
We stock and install CGI-compatible impact garage doors in Pompano Beach, with most replacements running $2,800-$5,400 installed depending on door size, wind-load rating, and hardware series. Same-day installation is available when we have your model spec on the truck, which we do for the common CGI 3100 and 5100 series in standard 8×7 and 16×7 sizes. Most Pompano Beach homeowners discover their CGI impact garage door is failing when the door hangs crooked in the opening, the automatic opener strains or reverses mid-cycle, or they spot rust weeping from the bottom edge after a wet season.
Which CGI Models This Applies To
CGI manufactures impact-rated garage doors under two main series that we see in Pompano Beach: the 3100 Series (residential, up to 140 mph wind load) and the 5100 Series (heavy-duty residential and light commercial, up to 170 mph). The model number is stamped on a metal tag inside the top edge of the door panel, visible when the door is fully open. You’ll also find a sticker on the track assembly with the manufacturing date and hardware revision.
The critical compatibility gotcha: CGI revised its track bracket spacing in 2019. Pre-2019 doors use 18-inch centers; post-2019 use 16-inch centers. A bracket kit for the wrong spacing will bolt up but the rollers will bind in the first humid month. We carry both patterns on our trucks. For OEM versus aftermarket, we stock genuine CGI hinges, rollers, and bottom weatherseal because the tolerances on the impact-rated panel interlock are tight enough that aftermarket equivalents often leak air and void the wind-load certification. For torsion springs and cables, we use a Florida-rated aftermarket source that matches CGI’s cycle count spec at roughly 60 percent of OEM pricing.
Before
AfterSigns Your CGI Impact Garage Door Is Failing
- The door shudders or jerks during opening. This usually means the nylon rollers have flat-spotted or the hinge barrels are wallowed out. On CGI doors, the hinge pin sits in a steel barrel pressed into the aluminum stile, and once that press fit loosens, the panel alignment drifts.
- Visible gap at the bottom corner when closed. The bottom seal retainer on CGI doors is a vinyl U-channel that holds a dual-durometer bulb seal. After three to four Pompano Beach summers, UV and ozone harden the retainer plastic until it cracks; the seal drops and the corner lifts.
- Opener motor hums but door barely moves. Torsion springs on impact doors carry roughly double the load of a standard door because of the laminated glass weight. A broken spring is not always visually obvious; the gap in the coil can be hairline and still mean total loss of assist.
- Rust staining on the interior face of the panel. CGI uses galvanized steel skins with a baked enamel finish, but the edge fold where the skin meets the end stile is a capillary path. Once salt air breaches that seam in a Pompano Beach installation within a mile of the Intracoastal, the core insulation wicks moisture and the skin delaminates from inside.
- Loud bang from the garage, then the door won’t lift. This is almost always a torsion spring failure. The sound is the spring unwinding its remaining tension against the shaft. Do not attempt to lift the door manually; the full weight of an impact-rated panel, 150 to 220 pounds, is now on you and the opener drive.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
| Component / Service | Price Range in Pompano Beach |
|---|---|
| CGI 3100 Series full door replacement, single car (8×7) | $2,800 - $3,900 |
| CGI 5100 Series full door replacement, double car (16×7) | $4,200 - $5,400 |
| Torsion spring replacement (pair, OEM-rated aftermarket) | $380 - $520 |
| Roller and hinge set replacement (full door, 10 hinges + 12 rollers) | $340 - $480 |
| Bottom seal retainer and bulb seal replacement | $180 - $260 |
| Track realignment and bracket replacement (per door) | $220 - $340 |
What drives the range: door size is fixed by your opening, but wind-load rating (which determines panel gauge and reinforcement strut count), insulation value, and window lite configuration move the material cost. Labor is flat-rated by door type, not by how stuck the old hardware is. Every replacement includes the measured survey you keep, the written scope matching that document, installation, balance and safety reverse testing, and the documented photo record. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work; manufacturer defects carry CGI’s own warranty, which we file on your behalf.
DIY or Call Us?
There is exactly one safe owner check: with the door closed, pull the emergency release cord on the opener and try to lift the door manually. It should move smoothly and stay at waist height when released. If it drops hard or won’t lift at all, the spring system has failed. Do not proceed.
Torsion springs store roughly 1,000 foot-pounds of torque in a wound state. Winding bars must seat fully in the cone notches; a slipped bar or miscounted quarter-turn can fracture the cone or throw the bar. We have replaced doors where a homeowner’s DIY spring attempt bent the shaft and stripped the cable drums, turning a $450 repair into a $2,800 door replacement. The same applies to impact-rated panel replacement: these doors are engineered systems, and an unbalanced installation stresses the opener, the track, and the panel interlock. Measure once, document it, then cut. That applies to the decision to call us too.
If your door is misaligned, noisy, or failed entirely, call (754) 253-0713. We’ll schedule a free estimate, bring the right parts for your CGI model, and show you the written price before any work starts.
FAQs
In Pompano Beach’s salt-air climate, a properly installed CGI impact garage door typically lasts 15 to 20 years for the panel assembly, 7 to 10 years for the torsion spring set, and 3 to 5 years for the bottom seal and exterior hardware. Homes within a half-mile of the Intracoastal or ocean see roughly 20 percent faster corrosion on the track and end hinges. Call (754) 253-0713 for an exact quote on replacement or maintenance - estimates are free.
Yes, in most cases. Spring failure, roller wear, hinge looseness, and seal degradation are all repairable if the panel skins are intact and the track geometry is true. We replace full doors only when the panel core is moisture-compromised, the wind-load certification cannot be restored, or the cost of cumulative repairs exceeds 60 percent of replacement. Call (754) 253-0713 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
A standard single-car replacement takes four to six hours; a double-car door takes six to eight hours. That includes removal, rough-opening inspection, new door installation, spring winding and balance, opener reconnection, and safety testing. We also stock and install parts for PGT, CWS, and ES Windows impact garage doors. Call (754) 253-0713 to schedule - estimates are free.
We carry torsion springs, cables, rollers, hinges, and bottom seal kits for the CGI 3100 and 5100 series on every Pompano Beach service vehicle. Full door panels and custom-width track must be ordered from CGI’s Florida distribution center, typically three to five business days. Same-day installation is available for standard sizes when in stock. Call (754) 253-0713 to confirm availability for your model - estimates are free.
