Cost per door: $2,904 – $4,125
Door and sidelights: $2,100
Labor: $500

Estimates only. Local pricing, site conditions and code requirements change the real number.

The formula

Cost = doors x (material cost + sidelights) + frame work + hardware + labor

Slab-only swaps are cheapest. Replacing the jamb, threshold and weatherstripping (a pre-hung unit) costs more but fixes air leaks and sticking doors.

Worked example

A fiberglass pre-hung entry door with one sidelight runs about $2,400 to $3,600 installed.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to replace a front door?

Typical installed cost is $1,200 to $4,000 in 2026 depending on material and whether sidelights are included.

Do I need a permit to replace an entry door?

A like-for-like swap usually does not need a permit, but enlarging the opening or replacing an exterior door in a coastal wind zone typically does.
