How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

CWS doors are built heavy, which is good for impact ratings but hard on hardware. Here’s what we actually find when we pull a panel off in Palm Beach:

• CWS Series 8700 rollers seize from salt and sand. The Series 8700 uses steel ball-bearing rollers that corrode faster in Palm Beach’s salt air. Symptom: the door drags or you hear grinding even when the track is clean. We pull the panel, replace both rollers with corrosion-resistant stainless or sealed-bearing units, and clean the track channel before rehanging.
• Series 7700 interlocking stiles warp slightly in direct sun. The 7700’s center interlock is tight by design for wind resistance, but years of western exposure on Palm Beach homes can cause micro-warping that makes the lock catch. We realign the interlock and, where needed, mill the weatherstrip channel, not the panel, so the warranty-safe geometry stays intact.
• Track sag on oversized panels. CWS makes wide-opening sliders, and on the Series 6700 we see aluminum tracks bow over time, especially on second-floor Palm Beach condos where the slab has settled. The door gets hard to move at one end. We shim and re-secure the track to the subfloor, then re-level the panel. Skipping the re-level just burns the new rollers out in a year.
• Weep holes clog and the bottom rail holds water. Coastal Palm Beach wind drives fine sand and debris into the bottom track. CWS weep holes are small, and once they clog, water sits in the rail and the wheel assemblies rust from standing moisture. Our fix includes clearing every weep, flushing the rail, and verifying drainage with a water test before we call the job done.
• Weatherstripping compression set on Series 8700 and 6700. The original pile weatherstrip flattens after five to seven years in Florida heat, which shows up as daylight at the panel edges or a whistle on windy days. We replace with OEM-spec or better commercial-grade pile and check the full perimeter seal while the panel is out, not just the spot you noticed.

Our CWS Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process

Every CWS door in Palm Beach gets the same straightforward approach, whether it’s a rental condo near Worth Avenue or a house in the Estate Section:

1. 1
   You call, we answer. A live person takes your call at (561) 831-7863, asks what the door is doing, and schedules a visit. No ticket numbers, no call center.
2. 2
   We diagnose with the panel moving. Our tech removes the panel carefully, inspects rollers, track, interlock, and weatherstripping, and shows you what failed. You don’t take our word for it, you see it.
3. 3
   Parts decision, plain language. For CWS doors, we tell you when OEM parts are worth it, typically warranty-sensitive frame components, and when a high-quality aftermarket roller or seal outperforms the original. Our techs are background-checked and in uniform, and they know CWS series behavior across Palm Beach’s climate.
4. 4
   We repair and test. We replace the failed hardware, realign the panel, adjust the interlock, and run the door through full travel at least a dozen times. Then we water-test the track and weatherstripping.
5. 5
   Cleanup and a straight invoice. We leave the work area clean, walk you through the invoice line by line, and show you the panel operating. You pay what we quoted, no change orders.
6. 6
   The promise stands. Every CWS repair carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a century-long standard Ed puts on every single job.
