Pricing guide

Costs mainly depend on whether you supply the door or the installer supplies it, plus how much adjustment the opening needs. Standard supply-and-install jobs with a reasonably square frame are typically less complex than installs that require frame repairs, custom doors or premium locks. Callout fees, hourly labour rates and after-hours attendance can also affect the final quote.

  • Supply versus installer-supplied

    Owner-supplied doors generally reduce material scope but may add labour if the unit is incompatible or needs modification.

  • Door material and design

    Steel, aluminium, diamond grille or specialised mesh options vary in complexity and can affect fitting time and hardware needs.

  • Frame condition and opening size

    A square, existing frame is usually quicker to fit, while warped openings or damaged frames often require extra work.

  • Lock and hardware specification

    Standard locks and basic hardware are typically included in supply profiles, whereas premium locks or specialised fittings generally add scope.

  • Timing, callout and labour rates

    Whether the job is scheduled during standard hours or after-hours, plus callout and hourly rates, will influence the total cost.

Frequently asked questions

Can I supply my own security door?
Yes — many installers will fit owner-supplied doors, but they typically expect the unit to be compatible with the opening. Installers may charge extra labour if adjustments are needed, and they are usually not responsible for defects in owner-supplied materials.
How long does installation usually take?
Straightforward installs to an existing, square frame are often completed in a single visit. If the job requires measurement, custom supply, frame repairs or specialised hardware, the work will usually take longer and may need additional visits.
Do installers need to be registered?
Installers for security doors typically need to hold the relevant registration required in your state or territory. It's reasonable to ask a prospective installer to confirm their registration status before engaging them.
What happens if my frame isn't square?
If the opening is out of square, installers will usually need to carry out additional adjustments or repairs to ensure a secure fit. This can add time and complexity compared with fitting into a reasonably square existing frame.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to security door installers — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
