What drives the price
- Interior or exterior. Interior French doors cost less. Exterior pairs need weather seals, a sill and better glass.
- Labor. Fixr puts the labor for a prehung interior French door at $56 to $161 and an exterior one at $78 to $302.
- Glass and frame. Full-lite doors with Low-E or decorative glass, and wood or fiberglass frames, sit at the high end.
- Opening. A French pair needs a wider opening than a single door. Widening a wall adds framing and finish work.
