What drives the price
- Material. Steel is the budget choice and very secure. Fiberglass costs more and resists dents and rot. Solid wood and iron doors are the top of the range.
- Prehung or slab. A prehung door comes in its own frame and fits fastest. A slab hung on an old frame is cheaper only if the frame is sound and square.
- Glass. Decorative glass, sidelights and transoms add to the door and to the labor.
- Size changes. Widening an opening means new framing and a header, which turns a door swap into a small carpentry job.
