THE SHORT ANSWER
The short answer
Steel doors run $500–$1,500; fiberglass $1,000–$3,000; wood $1,000–$4,000. Installation adds $250–$600. Most replacements run $1,000–$2,500 installed. Steel is the budget and security standard.
Materials and costs
Steel is the budget standard and most secure — it resists forced entry and dents, though scratches can rust. Fiberglass resists dents and weather and looks like wood. Wood is classic and paintable but needs maintenance.
- Steel: $500–$1,500
- Fiberglass: $1,000–$3,000
- Wood: $1,000–$4,000
- Installation: $250–$600
Installation and the frame
Most replacements fit the existing frame — that's the cheap path. A damaged frame, masonry opening or wider door adds cost. Energy-efficient doors with good weatherstripping pay off in heating and cooling.
Security and hardware
A smart lock, deadbolt and hinge reinforcement add $100-$400 but upgrade security significantly. Most break-ins are forced entries through the front door — reinforced hardware makes the difference.
