For construction professionals, integrating commercial-grade doors into residential projects can offer enhanced durability and security. However, understanding the true cost is crucial. Installation costs typically range from $1,800 to $6,500 per opening, with high-performance options exceeding $10,000. This includes materials, labor, and hardware. Staying informed on current pricing helps in accurate budgeting and planning.
Most professionals can expect the following cost breakdown:
1. Material Choice – Steel is cost-effective but heavier, while aluminum is lighter and pricier.
2. Opening Size – Larger openings require more labor and materials.
3. Structural Modifications – Additional work like removing load-bearing headers increases costs.
4. Code Requirements – Fire-rated assemblies add to material and inspection costs.
5. Smart Tech Integration – Advanced hardware like card readers increases budgets.
