Upgrading to a sturdy steel door may mean a larger investment than standard wooden doors. But what’s the average price range to be expected for commercial buildings, offices and factories? As with most major renovations, the cost of a single steel door depends on the specifics of each unique project.
However, some general guidelines apply when budgeting for an exterior steel door upgrade.
The final price of a new steel door takes multiple cost factors into account:
Basic steel doors range widely from £500 up to £2,000 or more depending on size, thickness, door frame and core insulation. Steel security doors with protective plating and hardware upgrades sit at the higher end. Additionally, single doors will typically be cheaper compared to steel double doors.
Integrating custom security features like a multi-point locking system and reinforcement plates, decorative finishes like wood grain textures or custom colours, and fire resistance all add to the door’s base price. The more tailored the door, the more you can expect to pay.
With their significant weight and need for precision fitting, most property owners source professional installation for new steel doors averaging £200-£500. Complex projects requiring structural changes to accommodate the new front door may incur additional labour fees, such as modifications to the existing door frame.
Finally, factor in modest costs to appropriately remove and dispose of the old door units being replaced.
Put together, property owners budgeting for a new steel security door should plan around £1,000-1,500 for a straightforward project up to £5,000 or more when integrating custom finishes, premium security enhancements and speciality glasswork.
The increased resilience and durability of steel doors return much of that initial investment over time through:
Considered across their entire lengthy lifespan before replacement becomes necessary, quality steel doors ultimately save money compared to cheaper wooden units requiring recurrent upkeep and swapping out.
