According to a recent analysis, the cost of door installation varies widely, with factors such as the type of door, needed labor, and additional components significantly impacting the price. Basic interior doors typically cost between $200 and $600 to install, while exterior doors range from $400 to $2,000. Overall, the installation expenses for various doors range from $200 to as much as $1,800.

Mr. Handyman provides expertise on the matter, advising individuals to understand their door options before settling on a specific choice to potentially save on costs. "Due to the vast array of factors affecting interior and exterior door costs, such as materials and labor, you'll want to know more about the door you intend to install before narrowing down the cost," a spokesperson notes.

The report breaks down specific costs associated with different types of doors. For example, entry doors can range from $500 to $4,500, while storm and screen doors vary from $100 to $1,000. French doors and garage doors span a substantial range, going from $600 to $5,800 and $2,800 to $6,500 respectively. Labor costs also add to the expense, averaging between $100 and $300 for interior doors and rising for more complex installations.

The complexity of installing certain doors, like steel entry doors, reflects in their installation prices, with labor costs potentially reaching up to $900 depending on specific needs. Pre-hung doors usually provide a quicker and often less expensive installation option compared to slab doors due to their pre-attached frames and hinges.

Addressing frequently posed questions, Mr. Handyman clarifies various situational costs such as front door replacements and exterior door frames, which can be higher due to the need to resist external elements and additional framing requirements.

When asked whether professional installation is necessary, Mr. Handyman emphasizes that it can save time and ensure quality results. "Unless you've got the tools (and patience) of a pro, door installs can get complicated quickly," the spokesperson states, highlighting the potential challenges a layperson might face in such tasks.
