Pricing guide

Price variation is driven mainly by the job scope — simple single-door fixes are typically less involved than full replacements or frame/jamb repairs. Whether the existing frame is reusable, the door and hardware you choose, and whether the installer supplies materials also influence cost. Callout fees, site access and after-hours attendance may further affect the final price.

  • Job scope and complexity

    Minor hinge or latch repairs are usually quicker than full door replacements or custom/security installations.

  • Frame condition and structural work

    If the frame or jamb needs repair or replacement the job becomes significantly more involved and may be reclassified to a higher-scope profile.

  • Door type and materials selected

    Standard mid-grade prehung or slab doors are assumed in supply profiles while premium or bespoke doors generally increase the materials component.

  • Number and type of hardware

    Multiple locks, specialty hardware or security upgrades typically increase labour time and installation complexity.

  • Callout fee, timing and access

    A single callout fee usually applies per site visit, and after-hours attendance or difficult access can increase the total cost.

Frequently asked questions

How long will the work usually take?
Duration depends on the scope: simple single-door repairs are usually quicker than full replacements or frame work. Your installer should provide an estimated timeframe once they have assessed the door and frame.
Do installers need a licence for this work?
This trade requires a mandatory licence for installation and structural door work. You can ask to see the installer’s current licence to confirm they are authorised to carry out the job.
Will the installer supply the door and materials?
Some installers include an allowance for materials, and the supply & replace profile typically assumes a mid-grade prehung or slab door. Owner-supplied materials may reduce the installer-supplied component, while premium products usually change the materials allowance or scope.
What happens if hidden frame damage is found?
If significant frame or structural issues are discovered, the job is typically reclassified to a higher-scope profile and the installer may need to revise the scope. Additional frame or jamb repairs generally require more labour and can affect timing.
