New windows and doors improve comfort, cut energy bills and add long-term value to your home. Sightline Windows & Doors Hobe Sound 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.

PGT Sliding & Patio Doors: The Hobe Sound Owner’s Guide
We stock and install PGT-compatible sliding and patio door components for Hobe Sound homes, with most part replacements running $340-$780 installed depending on the series and whether the frame requires adjustment. Same-day availability is common for rollers, handles, and track hardware on the Winguard and ClassicVue lines we carry on our trucks. Most Hobe Sound owners first notice a problem when the door sticks during afternoon humidity or when the lock no longer seats flush after a storm season.
Which PGT Models This Applies To
PGT builds sliding and patio doors across several series, and the parts are not interchangeable. The Winguard aluminum line uses a heavier tandem roller assembly rated for impact-rated sash weights up to 450 lbs, while the ClassicVue vinyl series runs a lighter single-carriage roller at roughly 220 lbs capacity. The SentryGL line falls between them. You will find the series designation on the etched mark in the glass corner or on the spacer bar label between the panes.
The roller housing depth varies: Winguard takes a 1-1/4 inch housing, ClassicVue takes 7/8 inch. Get this wrong and the door rides too high or drags on the track. We carry both OEM PGT rollers and quality aftermarket equivalents from Truth Hardware and Barton Kramer. For locks and keepers, we prefer OEM because the striker geometry is proprietary and aftermarket versions often require filing to seat. For rollers, the aftermarket tandem units we stock meet the same load rating and cost 30-40% less.
Sonia Raman has measured failed retrofits from other installers who guessed at the series. One job near Bridge Road required us to pull a misordered ClassicVue roller set that had been forced into a Winguard frame, damaging the track. The measured survey caught it before we ordered anything.
Before
AfterSigns Your PGT Sliding & Patio Doors Is Failing
- The door requires shoulder weight to move. This usually means the tandem rollers have flat-spotted or the axle bearings have corroded. In Hobe Sound, salt air accelerates this, and we see it most often on east-facing doors within eight years of install.
- The lock thumb-turn spins without engaging the keeper. The internal cam has sheared or the spindle has backed out. On PGT’s mortise lock sets, the spindle is a 5/16 inch square stock that can work loose if the set screw was not thread-locked at factory.
- Visible daylight between the sash and the jamb when closed. The adjustable rollers have dropped or the header has settled. On impact-rated units, this gap also compromises the pressure rating and should be addressed before the next named storm.
- Grinding or popping sound during operation. The track itself may be dented from impact, or debris has embedded in the roller tread. PGT’s stainless track insert is replaceable on most units, but only if the extrusion channel is not stretched.
- Condensation between the glass panes. This is seal failure, not a hardware issue, but Hobe Sound owners often mistake it for a door problem. The IGU (insulated glass unit) needs replacement, not the rollers or lock.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
| Component | Part + Labor Range | Typical Time |
|---|---|---|
| Roller assembly (single) | $180-$290 | 45-60 min |
| Roller assembly (tandem, both panels) | $340-$520 | 1.5-2 hrs |
| Mortise lock / handle set | $220-$380 | 1 hr |
| Track insert replacement | $280-$450 | 1.5-2.5 hrs |
| Full IGU (glass only) | $420-$780 | 2-3 hrs |
These are installed prices for Hobe Sound, with the measured survey included at no charge. The range reflects series differences and whether the frame requires realignment after part replacement. We do not quote one price and invoice another. Haven Clause 1 means the written price from our survey is the price on the final document. Every part replacement carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise and leaves a documented photo record of the installed component and the frame readings before we leave.
DIY or Call Us?
An owner can safely inspect the roller housing for visible corrosion or check the lock keeper for loose fasteners with a Phillips head. Do not attempt to remove a tandem roller assembly from a Winguard impact-rated door. The sash weighs 200+ pounds and the lift-and-tilt maneuver requires two people with proper support blocks. We have inherited jobs where a homeowner bent the track trying to lever the sash out alone.
The lock cylinder replacement is straightforward on paper, but PGT’s mortise box is shimmed to a tight tolerance and misalignment here will cause the deadbolt to bind in six months. If you are unsure of the series designation or the door has become difficult to operate, call us. We will bring the measured survey, identify the part on site, and show you the written price before any work starts.
FAQs
In coastal Martin County, expect 8-12 years from quality rollers on east and south exposures, and 12-15 years on protected north faces. Salt air and sand particulate are the primary accelerants. Call (772) 362-5967 for an exact quote on replacement - estimates are free.
Sometimes. If the thumb-turn spins freely, the internal cam may be re-engaged if the spindle is intact and the set screw can be re-torqued. If the cam is sheared or the mortise box is cracked, replacement is the only reliable fix. Call (772) 362-5967 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Most single-component replacements are completed in 1-2 hours on site. Tandem roller sets on double-panel Winguard units take longer because the sash must be supported, leveled, and re-seated to maintain the pressure rating. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule - we stock common PGT hardware and can often source same day.
We carry rollers, handles, keepers, and track inserts for the Winguard, ClassicVue, and SentryGL lines on every truck. Specialized hardware or discontinued series may require a 24-48 hour order. We are an independent service provider, not affiliated with PGT, but we source OEM and verified aftermarket parts by specification. Call (772) 362-5967 to confirm availability for your model.
Measure it right the first time, and the door closes the way it’s supposed to - every time after that. Call (772) 362-5967 to schedule your free estimate. We will bring the measured survey, identify your PGT series on site, and leave you with a written price before any work starts. Every job is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise and documented with a photo record under the Haven Standard.
