What changes the price on your job
The ranges above are the starting point. These five factors move a quote up or down within (or sometimes outside) those bands.
- Distance from the coast, coastal homes need 316 stainless, inland homes can use aluminium.
- Mesh grade, perforated aluminium cheapest, 304 stainless mid, 316 marine-grade dearest.
- Hinged vs sliding, sliding doors cost more for the track and rollers.
- Locking and fire-egress hardware, triple-lock and key-free egress releases add a little.
- Quantity and access, whole-house jobs are better value per opening than one-offs.
Red flags, what to watch for in quotes
We see these patterns from operators we’d never recommend. If a quote you’ve received has one of these, ask before signing.
- A “security” door with no AS 5039 certification, it’s a flyscreen, not a barrier.
- Aluminium mesh quoted for a beachside home, it will corrode in the salt within a few years.
- No fire-egress release on bedroom or exit doors, a safety failure, not a saving.
- A cheap door price with fitting and hardware added later, ask for the all-in number.
- No written warranty on frame, mesh and locks, reputable installers put it in writing.
