Pricing guide

Costs vary mainly with whether the installer supplies a standard door or is fitting a customer‑supplied or bespoke unit, and with the condition of the frame. Custom doors, non‑standard modifications, premium hardware or structural frame work typically increase labour and material needs, while callout, travel and after‑hours attendance also affect the final cost.

  • Customer-supplied or custom doors

    Non‑standard or owner‑supplied units often need extra labour for modification and fitting, which usually increases the job scope.

  • Supply versus installer-supplied door

    When the installer supplies a standard factory door the fit is generally simpler, whereas premium finishes or custom hardware add complexity.

  • Frame condition and structural work

    A sound frame typically allows straightforward repairs or fitting, while damaged or out‑of‑square frames can push the job into a more complex rebuild scope.

  • Hardware and finish level

    Higher‑grade locks, certified hardware or custom finishes usually require more time and specialised parts than basic fittings.

  • After-hours, callout and travel

    Attendance outside standard hours and the need for travel or a separate callout are factors that often increase the overall price.

Frequently asked questions

Do security door installers need registration?
This trade requires registration; you should confirm the installer is registered before work begins. Ask to see their registration or credentials so you can be confident they meet regulatory requirements.
How long will the work usually take?
Minor repairs or adjustments are often completed within a few hours, while supply-and-install or bespoke fitting usually takes longer. The exact time typically depends on door complexity, access and whether any frame rebuilding is required.
Should I supply the door or have the installer supply it?
If you supply a non‑standard or damaged door, installers will typically need extra time to modify and fit it, which can increase scope. Having the installer supply a standard door is usually simpler, though premium hardware or finishes will often add to the work.
What if the door frame is damaged?
If the frame is not generally sound, the work often moves from a minor repair to structural or rebuild scope, which is more involved. An installer will usually assess the frame on inspection and advise whether packing/shimming is sufficient or a rebuild is recommended.
