Which entry door fits your home
Most homes in Toronto come down to two choices: an insulated steel door or a fiberglass door. Steel costs less and is very strong. Fiberglass costs more, resists dents and can look like real wood. Both take glass inserts, sidelights and a transom, and our crew usually installs either one in a day.
Insulated steel doors
An insulated steel door has two steel skins around a foam core, so it keeps the cold out far better than an old wooden door. It is the most affordable way to get a strong, secure front door, and it comes in many panel designs and colours.
The trade-off is the surface: a hard knock can leave a dent, and the paint may want a touch-up after many years. Our insulated steel doors start at $1,600 installed, and a double steel door starts at $2,400.
Fiberglass doors
A fiberglass door has a composite skin over an insulated core. It does not dent, rust or rot, it keeps its shape through hot summers and cold winters, and it comes smooth and ready for paint or with a woodgrain texture that takes stain.
It costs more than steel: a single fiberglass door starts at $2,300 installed and a double one at $3,470. For a door you want to keep for decades with little upkeep, it is usually worth the difference.

Glass, sidelights and transoms
Glass brings daylight into the hallway. You can choose a glass insert in the door itself, a narrow sidelight on one or both sides, a transom above the door, or all three. Clear glass gives the most light. Frosted, textured and decorative glass keep the hallway private from the street, and wrought-iron style glass is a common choice on brick homes.
If the new door needs a wider or taller opening for sidelights, we look at the wall first: brick, stucco or a larger opening is priced separately after we see it.
Handles and smart locks
We fit the handle set and the lock on the new door, keypad and smart locks included, and check that the door closes and seals before we leave. Tell us which lock you want at the measure and it goes into your written quote.
Entry door prices
Every price includes the door, installation, removal of the old door and haul-away. Glass, sidelights, transoms and premium locks are added in your written quote, so you see each item before you decide. Replacing windows too? Order them with the door and save up to 50% on the installation.

Installation day
- We take out the old door and its frame.
- We check the opening and set the new door level and plumb.
- We seal it against drafts and water.
- Exterior capping and interior casing finish the opening.
- We fit the lock, test the door and take the old one away.
It usually takes one day, two at most. After a standard install, the most you may want to do is paint the interior trim.
