I dont understand where these prices come from. Can buy a nice door for $500to $700. Throw 2 side lights on it and all of a sudden its $4000. Throw one on top and its $10000

 

I just installed this for a customer
$10000. For the unit plus my labor.

The supply chain is a mess. Not going to improve greatly any time soon either.

 

Exterior doors are all over the place. Went to a local building supply, quotes a door, no glass stained finish solid wood $3000.
Luckily we have a decent size supply warehouse that works with Masonite and Horner and prices are in the hundreds for the over runs/small scratch doors..picked up 2 fiberglass doors for 800 out the door

 

IV been using these. Fiberglass and $455

I removed all my interior hollow doors and installed solid 6 panel doors. The solid feel and sound when closing a door makes the extra expense worth it. Opposite of what Chandler does, when I was in business I seldom had a homeowner buy a door. They chose the style, etc., but I ordered it from a contractor supplier. Then I could get the size, hinging, jamb, bores, threshold and hinges that I wanted and then the supplier and I stood behind the whole job. There were no surprises or cheap products. If it is their door all you stand behind is the labor, so I get it. There were few things I disliked more than a customer call back after I installed their cheap substandard product so I stopped doing it.

 

Your exterior door will run a gamut of prices based on your likes and dislikes. I always have the homeowner order the door they like, have it delivered, and I install it. No questions that way.

As far as interior doors, you will be really more satisfied with solid doors than you will with hollow ones. I get the Cheyenne doors in pine here, at a salvage place for about $135, no trim, prehung. If you can find a place like that you may find 3 panel doors likewise. Shop around for deals, especially when you may be replacing a bunch of doors.

 

6 panel prehung wood stain grade ext. door with glass at the top in the DC Metro Area not from a big box store, $1600.
I don't care if I got taken.
