Front doors in the UAE: prices, fire rules and sizes

Updated 4 November 2026

A front door in the UAE costs from about AED 1,150 for a hardwood entrance door to around AED 27,500 for a premium steel model, based on prices in November 2026. In the listings we found, most steel and composite entry doors sit between AED 6,000 and AED 11,000. To get quotes for your own opening, send the size and door type in a BlaBlaPrice request.

Fire rules for doors on escape routes

Doors used for fire escape must meet the UAE Fire and Life Safety Code, and in Dubai they must also comply with the Dubai universal design requirements. Fire-rated doors should be tested and certified to a recognised standard such as BS EN 1634, and the Civil Defence guidance for Dubai sets out the EI ratings that apply. Ask the seller for the test certificate and the rating before you pay, rather than relying on the brochure. Building design guidance also asks that a door opening sits at least 0.20 m away from a wall.

Season, heat and the finish

The summer from May to September is very hot, and direct sun and dust work on the surface of a front door. Choose a finish that handles sun, such as painted steel or a sealed hardwood, and ask about the seal and gaps, because heat and sand can make timber move. November to March is mild, so fitting work is most comfortable in these months.

Sizes, units and what the price includes

Listings quote openings in both inches and millimetres: 80 in by 32 in is also 2032 mm by 813 mm. Give the seller your opening in millimetres, along with the side the door opens from inside, since listings name it as left or right hand inswing. Many door prices are for the door alone, so ask whether the frame, lock, handle and fitting are included. Confirm delivery to Sharjah and Al Ain separately, as the listed prices may not include transport.

What to write in your request

Say where the door goes (main entrance, villa side door, apartment), the opening width and height in millimetres, the design and finish or colour, the opening side, and whether you need the door supplied only or fitted too. Add the site address in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain, and your budget in AED.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the door in your own words in a chat, and add a photo of the entrance if it helps. BlaBlaPrice's AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them. You can also browse windows, doors and glass or start from the home page.
