How Much Does a New Front Door Cost?
Replacing your front door is an important investment in both security and kerb appeal. The total cost can vary based on material, design, features, installation and the level of finish you choose. This guide helps you understand the key factors that influence the price of a new front door so you can budget with confidence.
What Determines Front Door Cost?
Several elements affect how much a new front door will cost. These include:
- Material – uPVC, composite, timber or aluminium
- Installation – fitted as a complete door set
- Door furniture – handles, letterbox, locks
- Glazing – decorative or performance glass
- Colour/finish – standard finishes or bespoke colours
- Security upgrades – higher-grade locking systems
Most quotes should include a full door set with installation — not just the door slab — for a fair comparison.

uPVC Front Doors
A popular choice for many homes, uPVC doors are durable, low maintenance and energy efficient.
Typical cost (including installation): from around £1,500+.
Composite Front Doors
Composite doors combine multiple materials for strength, performance and style. They tend to cost more than uPVC but offer excellent longevity.
Typical cost (including installation): from around £2,500+.
Timber Front Doors
Traditional timber doors offer classic character and charm but usually come at a higher price and require more maintenance.
Typical cost: Approximately 75% more than uPVC equivalents.
What’s Included in the Price
A full front door cost quote from a reputable supplier should include:
A detailed survey of your doorway
The complete door set (frame + door slab)
All standard hardware (handles, hinges, locks)
Any glazing and decorative features
Professional installation
Typically a guarantee on product and fitting
If a quote leaves out any of these, it’s likely to be much lower but may not reflect the real total cost you’ll pay.
Why Supplier Quality Matters
Cheaper doors sold as “supply only” often don’t include precision fitting, warranties, or a bespoke build — meaning they may not fit perfectly or provide long-term performance. A made-to-measure door set installed by professionals ensures:
- Better insulation and draught control
- Stronger security with proper locking
- Longer lifespan with fewer repairs
Extras That Affect Cost
Other options that influence the final price include:
- Bespoke sizing or non-standard dimensions
- High-performance glazing (e.g., triple glazed)
- Premium colour finishes or woodgrain effects
- Enhanced security locks and hardware
- Insurance backed guarantees
