Pricing guide
Costs are driven by the door type and the condition of the existing opening. Simple swaps using typical prehung or slab doors and standard hardware are usually less involved than jobs needing frame replacement, masonry or certified/premium door installations. Callout, number of doors and after‑hours attendance also affect the final quote.
Door type and certification
Premium, fire‑rated or multipoint/security doors typically need specialist fitters and more time and materials.
Frame and opening condition
If the existing frame is damaged or the opening needs modification, the job usually requires additional carpentry or masonry and increases scope.
Number of doors and scale
Quoted hours scale with door count, so multiple doors generally increase total labour and time on site.
Whether you supply the door
Standard quotes assume installer‑supplied doors and hardware; homeowner‑supplied doors will usually reduce materials but must be compatible.
Callout, timing and access
A callout fee is normally applied and after‑hours attendance or difficult site access can increase labour or attendance charges.
