How Much Does Door Installation Cost? (2026 Prices)

Q: How much does it cost to install a door?

An interior door runs $374–$697 installed — the calculator's default scenario (Fixr's published average range). Entry doors average $1,353 ($975–$1,773), storm doors $300–$450–$750, and French doors $1,599–$2,221–$2,976.

Q: How much does an exterior or entry door cost to install?

A single entry door averages $1,353 installed, with a typical range of $975–$1,773 (Fixr) — higher for wood, sidelights, or opening changes. Mr. Handyman's wider band tops out at $4,500 for premium entry doors.

Q: How much is door installation labor?

Interior installers charge $44–$83/hr (Fixr); entry-door installers charge $67–$121/hr and the job takes 3–7 hours, so labor alone runs $200–$800. Ask whether a quote is labor-only or an installed price.

Q: Is it cheaper to replace a door than install a new one?

When the frame is sound, replacement is cheaper: an interior replacement (slab reuse) runs $219–$759 (Fixr) against $374–$697 for a full interior install. If the jamb or frame is rotten or out of square, you are back at an install price.

Q: How much does door repair cost?

Door repair averages $202 nationally, with a range of $19–$712 (Fixr) — hardware and finishing at the low end (a new knob or sweep) up to jamb replacement at $319–$594.

Cost by door type

Installed bands (door + professional labor), one row per type:

Door type	Installed band	Basis / note
Interior	$374–$697	Fixr average range; Thumbtack $302–$937, Mr. Handyman $200–$600
Entry / exterior	$975–$1,353–$1,773	Fixr; typical = published average $1,353
Storm & screen	$300–$450–$750	Fixr; high-end $1,500 for double storm w/ full glass
French	$1,599–$2,221–$2,976	Fixr; ASP Windows $2,000–$5,000 for premium French sets
Patio / sliding	$323–$1,308	Thumbtack national average range — scope varies by source

What the number includes

Installed figures include the door and professional installation labor. Interior labor runs $44–$83/hr (Fixr); entry-door labor runs $67–$121/hr over 3–7 hours ($200–$800).
Materials-only / unit figures (a bare door slab or a storm-door panel) are cheaper — useful when comparing door prices at retail, and always labelled as such in the dataset tables.
Which one a quote uses is the first question to ask: a “$400 door” and a “$400 installed door” are different products.

By style (interior)

Fixr's interior style table, installed: bifold $191–$356 · prehung lauan slab $365–$679 · barn $425–$791 · bypass sliding $477–$888 · pocket $1,008–$1,876 · French $1,076–$1,999. Pre-hung doors cost $50–$200 more than slabs (Thumbtack), because the frame and hardware are included.

Replacement vs a new install

Interior replacement (slab / pre-hung): $219–$759 installed (Fixr). Doornmore budgets slab swaps at $450–$700; ASP Windows books pre-hung at $260–$500.
Exterior replacement: $490–$3,630 (Fixr) — wide, because it spans a basic steel swap to a premium door with frame work. ASP Windows books exterior replacement at $400–$1,700.
The honest rule: reuse the frame and replacement wins; rotten or out-of-square jambs push you back to install pricing.

Door repair costs

Repair averages $202 nationally (range $19–$712, Fixr). Cited line items: paint an interior slab $24–$46/side; refinish an exterior slab $58–$109/side; plane/adjust an interior door $96–$180; adjust an exterior door $181–$336; wood threshold $51–$95; aluminum threshold $58–$109; door sweep $33–$62; exterior jamb replacement $319–$594.

What drives door cost

Door type and material. Interior slab < solid-core < exterior steel/fiberglass/wood < French/patio.
Slab vs pre-hung. Pre-hung installs faster but costs more up front.
Frame and opening work. Reframing, new rough openings, and sidelights add cost.
Hardware and finish. Locks, weatherstripping, and painting are cited line items.
Region. Labor markets move the band; entry installs are more labor-hour sensitive.
