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 Olympia Heights Owner’s Guide
Mr-Glass door installation in Olympia Heights typically runs $1,800-$4,200 depending on the series and whether the opening needs reframing. We stock Mr-Glass hardware and keep the common frame profiles on hand for jobs near the Bird Road corridor and throughout Olympia Heights. Most replacements we book are discovered when the homeowner notices the door dragging, light leaking through the jamb, or the lockset no longer seating flush - all signs the original install has shifted or the frame profile was undersized for South Florida’s humidity cycle.
Which Mr-Glass Models This Applies To
Mr-Glass produces several door lines, and the part you need depends on whether you’re working with their impact-rated entry systems, standard aluminum patio sliders, or thermally broken French door sets. Check the hinge stile or top rail for a stamped series code - usually “MG-IMP” for impact series or “MG-AL” for standard aluminum - and measure the jamb depth from interior to exterior finish. The impact-rated units carry a thicker interlayer and a deeper frame pocket, which means retrofitting a standard MG-AL part into an MG-IMP opening will leave the glazing edge exposed and void the pressure rating.
We carry both OEM Mr-Glass hardware and verified aftermarket equivalents from our PGT and CGI inventory where the spec overlaps. For the MG-IMP series, we spec OEM hinges and multipoint lock bodies - the tolerances are too tight for generic substitution. On the MG-AL patio sliders, a quality aftermarket roller and track set from our CWS stock often outperforms the original at half the part cost. We’ll show you the difference on the measured survey, and the written quote will list each component by source so you know exactly what you’re buying.
Before
AfterSigns Your Mr-Glass Door Installation Is Failing
- The door drags or binds at the threshold. This usually means the sill cap has compressed or the roller carriage on a slider has flattened. In Olympia Heights, we see this most often on south-facing exposures where the aluminum frame expands and contracts through daily 20-degree swings.
- Visible daylight between the door and the jamb when closed. The compression seal has hardened or the frame has racked out of square. Once the seal gap exceeds 3/16 inch, you’re losing conditioned air and the lock tongue no longer throws fully.
- Condensation between the glass lites on an impact unit. The insulated glass unit (IGU) seal has failed. On Mr-Glass impact doors, this is not a field repair - the IGU must be fabricated to the exact lite size and re-glazed in the shop or on site with proper setting blocks.
- Multipoint lock handles turn but the bolts don’t retract. The gearbox inside the mortise lock has cracked, usually from forcing the handle while the door is warped or sagging. Continuing to operate it will strip the mating keeps in the frame.
- Exterior frame finish is chalking or pitting. The anodized coating has broken down, which is cosmetic until the substrate thins enough to compromise the structural rating. We flag this on our photo record so you can decide whether to address it now or budget for a full frame replacement.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
| Scope | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Standard MG-AL patio slider, roller and track replacement | $1,800-$2,400 |
| MG-IMP entry door, reframed with impact-rated hardware | $3,200-$4,200 |
| IGU replacement only, impact-rated, measured and reglazed | $680-$1,100 per lite |
| Multipoint lock body and handle set, OEM | $340-$520 |
What drives the range: the condition of the rough opening, whether the existing frame can be saved, and whether the wall is block or wood frame. Every quote we write in Olympia Heights starts with a measured survey you keep. The price on that document matches the final invoice - Haven Clause 1. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation and hardware, and you receive a documented photo record of the completed work before we leave.
DIY or Call Us?
There is one thing every Mr-Glass owner can safely check: the screw pattern on the hinge or roller bracket. If the fasteners are backing out of the frame, that’s a torque issue, not a part failure, and a properly seated screw with the right thread count may solve the drag. What you should not attempt is removing a multipoint lock body or reglazing an impact-rated lite. The lock mechanism is under spring tension and the alignment of three separate bolts must be dead-on for the door to seal. Impact glazing requires setting blocks sized to the lite weight and a bead application that maintains the structural bond - get it wrong and the pressure rating is gone, along with your insurance compliance.
We are an independent service provider, not affiliated with Mr-Glass. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3. If you’re seeing any of the symptoms above, call (786) 400-2761 and we’ll schedule a measured survey. The written price comes before any work starts, always.
FAQs
A properly installed Mr-Glass impact door should perform 15-20 years in South Florida before major component replacement, though the compression seals typically need refresh at 8-12 years and the multipoint lock hardware at 10-15. The Bird Road corridor properties we service see slightly faster seal fatigue due to afternoon sun exposure on west-facing entries. Call (786) 400-2761 for an exact quote on your specific model - estimates are free.
Yes, if the frame is square and the glazing is intact. We regularly replace single components - rollers, tracks, lock bodies, IGUs - and document the frame condition on the measured survey so you can see whether repair or full replacement makes sense. Call (786) 400-2761 to schedule the survey.
A component replacement on a standard MG-AL slider takes 2-3 hours on site. A full MG-IMP entry door with reframing is typically a full day, with the measured survey done separately beforehand so the material is cut and ready. We don’t quote install times without first reading the rough opening - Sonia Raman’s rule, and the reason our change-order count stays near zero.
We stock MG-AL rollers, track caps, and standard compression seals on every Olympia Heights vehicle. MG-IMP multipoint hardware and impact-rated IGUs are ordered to the measured spec after the survey - we don’t guess on safety-rated components. The written quote will list lead time if any part is not same-day.
