In our range, front door prices run from $249 to just over $13,000, depending on the material, the size and the glass. On 13 November 2026, half of our front doors started under $1,481. The door is only part of the bill, so allow for a frame, hardware, finishing, delivery and installation as well.
Price is usually the first question we hear, and it's a fair one. The trouble is that two front doors can look alike in a photo and sit a long way apart at the checkout. On one of our best sellers, the same design in the same size is $894 in one timber and $2,420 in another.
We've created this simple guide to help you set a realistic budget before you fall for a door. Every price below comes from our own store on 13 November 2026 and includes GST. Prices change, so treat these as a guide and check the product page for today's figure.

What does a front door cost by material?
Material sets the starting point. Solid engineered timber is the most affordable in our range, solid timber and composite sit in the middle, and aluminium starts highest. Within each material, the design and the size do the rest.
Solid engineered timber front doors
Solid engineered timber doors start at $249, and the middle half of the range starts between about $660 and $1,400. The lowest price is a Four Seas design in Meranti at 2040 x 820.
An engineered door has a stable laminated core under a real timber face, so it moves less in heat and humidity than a door cut from whole timber. Our guide to solid and engineered timber doors explains the difference. See the solid engineered timber range for current prices.
Solid timber front doors
Solid timber doors start at $779.10, and the middle half starts between about $1,190 and $2,020. This is where you'll find the traditional styles: Colonial, French, Dutch, Paddington and Regal.
Timber species and grade change the price as well. On the Parkwood VV53 batten door, for example, stain quality cedar costs more than paint quality cedar in the same size, so decide early whether you'll paint or stain. Browse the solid timber range.
Aluminium front doors
Aluminium doors start at $1,015. The Hume Elite Aluminium designs start between $1,015 and $1,812, while the Parkwood Strata, Garrison and Thermtek ranges start from $2,035, with the largest Thermtek sizes reaching $13,186.
You pay more up front, but the door arrives powder coated in your chosen colour, so there's no painter to book. Colour affects the price too. On the Elite Aluminium XE1 at 2040 x 820, Black Matt is $1,015 and the timber-look Maple finish is $1,245. See the aluminium range, and our materials guide if you're weighing aluminium against timber.
Composite front doors
Composite doors start at $567, and the middle half starts between about $1,660 and $2,490. These are the Parkwood Duramax doors, in flush and glazed designs. Browse the composite range.
Bushfire (BAL) rated front doors
BAL rated doors start at $362, and the middle half starts between about $750 and $2,140. A bushfire rating doesn't have to push you into the top price bracket, but the door, frame and glass all have to match the level on your BAL assessment. Our BAL guide covers what each level asks for, and the BAL rated range has the doors.
2-in-1 doors and wide style doors
The Bay Solutions 2-in-1 doors combine an entrance door and a screen door, and they start at $1,483. Wide style doors start at $856 for a 2040 x 1020 door. See the 2-in-1 range and the wide style range.
How do size and timber choice change the price?
Bigger doors cost more, and the timber on the face can cost more again. The simplest way to see it is to follow one door through its options. Here is the Hume XLR500 Linear, a solid engineered timber front door and one of our best sellers, on 13 November 2026.

$2,420 |
Going from 820mm to 1200mm wide adds $494 on this door. Going from 2040mm to 2340mm high adds $179 at the 820 width. Choosing Tasmanian Oak over Sliced Pacific Maple adds $1,526 at the same size.
That's why we suggest measuring before you compare prices. If your opening needs a 2340 x 1200 door, the 2040 x 820 price isn't your price. Our front door sizes guide walks through the measuring.
Glass works the same way. Many designs come unglazed or with a choice of glass, and each option has its own price on the product page. The glass options guide explains what each type is for.
What else do I need to budget for?
The price on a product page is for the door. A finished entry needs a few more things, and it's better to count them now than to find them at the checkout.

Frame. You only need one if the old frame is damaged, out of square or the wrong size. All of our entry frames are listed together.
-
Handles and locks. Entry handle sets start at $215. Pull handles start at $29 for a small 180mm handle, and most sit between about $90 and $240. Digital locks start at $264.
-
Finishing. A timber door needs paint or stain on every face and edge before it's hung, including the top and bottom. Allow for the materials and the labour. Aluminium doors arrive powder coated.
-
Delivery. Delivery is worked out at checkout from your postcode and the number of doors. You can also pick up from our warehouse in Alexandria, Sydney, or collect from a Mainfreight depot from $225 where checkout offers it. Our delivery information page has the options.
-
Installation. Fitting is quoted by your installer, not by us. Our preferred installers cover Sydney, Wollongong, the Central Coast and Newcastle, Melbourne and the Gold Coast, or you can use your own carpenter.
Should I buy the door on its own or with a frame?
Buy the door on its own if your frame is square, sound and the right size. Buy a door and frame together if the frame is rotted, twisted or you're changing the opening. A sound frame saves you at least $593, which is where single-door frames start.
If you're not sure which you have, our guide to replacing a front door explains how to check the frame before you order.
How do I keep the cost down without regretting it?
Start with the door's exposure, then find the most affordable door that suits it. A door that fails in the sun costs you twice.
-
Stay with a common size if your opening allows. On the XLR500 above, the 2040 x 820 door is $494 less than the 2040 x 1200.
-
Choose paint grade if you plan to paint. There's no point paying for a stain quality timber and covering it.
-
Look at engineered timber first. It's the most affordable timber option we sell, and it's more stable than solid timber in heat and humidity.
-
Keep the frame if it's sound. Check it before you assume you need a new one.
-
Match the material to the sun. A west-facing entry with no cover is hard on timber. Aluminium costs more on day one and needs less upkeep.
