If you own a Therma-Tru entry door, French door, or storm door in Westgate, this page covers what goes wrong with these units, what it costs to fix or replace them, and how we handle installation differently. Call (561) 468-6136 and a live person answers, day or night.

How Therma-Tru Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Fiberglass skin delamination on Classic-Craft and Fiber-Classic doors. Westgate’s sun exposure and humidity cycle stresses the adhesive bond between the fiberglass skin and the door core. You’ll see bubbles or wavy patches, usually on the lower third of the slab first. We replace the slab rather than patch it, and we check the threshold seal so the next slab doesn’t start the same way.
• Compression weatherstrip failure on Smooth-Star entry systems. That black magnetic weatherstrip Therma-Tru uses works until it doesn’t, and once it deforms, water drips in at the bottom corner. We see this constantly on Westgate homes built between 2005 and 2015. The fix is a new OEM seal set and threshold adjustment, not caulk over the old one.
• Rotted jambs on older Benchmark pre-hung units. The doors hold up; the wood frames don’t. If you live on a Westgate street with mature oak shade, the afternoon thunderstorm soak plus lack of sun equals frame rot at the sill. We pull the unit, install a composite jamb where it makes sense, and reset the door with proper flashing. That’s not a quick patch; it’s a one-day job done right.
• Hinge sag on Therma-Tru French door systems (Patio Door line). Two doors hanging on one frame means twice the weight on the hinges and the reveal drifts. If you have to lift the handle to latch the door, the hinges are done. We rehang with reinforced hinge screws into the framing, and in some cases swap to heavy-duty hinges rated for the door weight.
• Glazing failure on decorative glass inserts (Smooth-Star and Classic-Craft with custom lites). Westgate’s heat is hard on double-pane glass inserts, especially south-facing entries. Fog between the panes means the seal failed. Therma-Tru’s warranty on glass varies by series, but if it’s outside coverage, we can source replacement lites that fit without re-boring the door.

Our Therma-Tru Door Installation Process

1. 1
   We measure and diagnose first. Whether it’s a sticking slab or a full replacement, our technician checks the slab, the jamb, the hinges, and the threshold. Half the time a door that looks dead is actually a frame problem.
2. 2
   We decide repair vs. replace with you. If the slab is sound and the frame is square, we repair. If the frame is compromised or the door is delaminating, we quote a replacement. We don’t push new doors when a $200 hinge fix solves it.
3. 3
   Parts: OEM where it matters, quality aftermarket where it makes sense. Weatherstrips, sills, and warranty-sensitive components come from Therma-Tru. Hinges, screws, and flashing we upgrade to better than factory when the door will benefit.
4. 4
   Installation day. We pull the old unit if needed, prep the rough opening, set the new pre-hung frame with composite shims (never wood scraps), and check the reveal in three places before it’s screwed off.
5. 5
   We seal and flash it like a Florida door. Pan flashing at the sill, house wrap integration, and a bead of sealant that actually lasts in Westgate humidity. Then we test the latch, the sweep, and the seal with the door closed.
6. 6
   You walk the door with us before we leave. We show you what we did, answer questions, and leave the work area cleaner than we found it. The job’s not done until you’ve swung the door yourself.
