 A standard entry door will generally cost less than $1,000. However, if you add two sidelites and a large transom with custom glass; the price jumps considerably. If your budget cannot sustain this expense; it does not mean you have to down grade to a lesser material. Changing the design can make all the difference in the world!

Call our team for help with any door, lock or key!

Consider removing one sidelite (which will in turn make the transom smaller); and using clear glass. To take it one step further, removing the transom entirely; can save even more money! The money you save on the overall price use to pre-finish the door; or upgrade the hardware ; such as satin nickel, oil-rubbed bronze. Also, there is no rule which states that if the entry door is wood; all the other has to be as well. Consider using fiberglass doors on side entry and patio areas. You could even use steel doors and vinyl patio doors to save even more money. 

If you are building or re-modelling a home, there may be a door schedule; listed on the plans. It is important to remember that you are not bound by this schedule. Architects specify certain products for various reasons. Sometimes, it is because they are influenced by certain manufacturers to specify their products. If fancy wood doors are listed by the architect, you can change them to a more affordable material. More cost-saving tips are listed below:

  • Use fiberglass or steel doors as opposed to natural wood
  • Use clear glass instead of designer glass
  • Remove transoms and side lites if possible
  • Stick with standard hardware colors to avoid extra charges
  • Consider single doors as opposed to double doors
  • Having the door pre-finished from the factory will add to the overall cost (whereas you could paint or stain the door much cheaper)
  • Try to find door sizes and styles “in stock” at your local retailer


Another way to save money on doors is to shop, shop, shop! Many retailers will offer discounts on discontinued door styles. 24-7 Locksmiths Wellesley can help you choose the right fit!
