Fire-rated doors match at $400 – $1,300 across the sibling pair; matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration between corporate siblings. Angi prices bifold doors from $150 for interior closet units up to $13,800 or more for exterior folding glass walls, while HomeAdvisor’s multi-panel folding figure covers the high-end style only.
Cost by material
HomeAdvisor prices the door only, while Angi prices installation by material. The scopes differ, so the columns are not compared directly.1,2
| Material | HomeAdvisor (door only) | Angi (2026, installed) |
|---|---|---|
| Steel | $150 – $1,400 | $100 – $1,000 |
| Iron / wrought iron | $1,500 – $13,000 | $1,500 – $7,000 |
| Fiberglass | $150 – $3,000 | $150 – $5,000 |
| Wood | $500 – $3,000 | $200 – $5,000 |
| Composite wood | – | $40 – $500 |
| Aluminum | – | $100 – $2,000 |
Cost by door size
Angi (2026) prices installation for common door sizes at an 80-inch height.1
| Door width (80-inch height) | Average cost (Angi, 2026) |
|---|---|
| 24–32 inches | $150 – $700 |
| 36–48 inches | $400 – $1,600 |
| 60–72 inches | $400 – $4,500 |
| Over 72 inches | $2,000 – $5,000 |
Frame and jamb costs
Whether the existing frame and jamb can be reused is one of the biggest cost factors. Angi (2026) prices the scenarios as follows.1
| Frame and jamb condition | Average cost (Angi, 2026) |
|---|---|
| Need new frame and jamb | $200 – $650 |
| Existing jamb or frame in place | $60 – $500 |
| Need to change the whole door system | $800 – $1,000 |
Fixr notes replacing an existing entry door typically adds a few hundred dollars over a new installation, because the old door must be removed and hauled away.3

| Source | Labor rate |
|---|---|
| Angi | $40 – $90 per hour for a door installation contractor; a handyperson runs about $30 – $40 per hour |
