Front doors: what they cost in Canada

Updated 4 November 2026

A pre-hung steel front door in Canada usually costs about CA$400 to CA$1,300 before installation, and fibreglass doors start around CA$900. Installed, a standard single-entry door typically costs CA$2,000 to CA$6,000 or more. For current offers, describe your door in a request on BlaBlaPrice and compare the replies.

Local rules and what to check

Some manufacturers warrant painted steel panels for 15 years on light colours and 10 years on dark ones against blistering, peeling and flaking. A fibreglass door with a foam core should last 30 to 50 years or more with proper maintenance, while the weatherstripping and threshold seal need replacing over time. Hardware is usually covered for 5 to 10 years, and installation by a certified contractor carries its own warranty, so ask for every term in writing. In Alberta, a door between a home and an attached garage must meet the Alberta Building Code. Ordinary residential exterior doors do not usually need a fire rating.

Season: why November is a good time to order

Winter in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver runs from December to February, and a door that does not seal properly lets heat out for the whole season. Ordering in November gives you time to compare offers and have the door fitted before the cold sets in. Ask the seller for an installation date as well as a price.

How doors are sized, priced and delivered

Canadian sellers list doors in inches, so a 36 x 80 in door is 91 x 203 cm. Check the size, and whether the door opens inward or outward, before you order. The prices in the table are for the door unit; installation is quoted separately, per job. Delivery is possible between Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa, so ask how a heavy steel or fibreglass door is packed for the trip, and whether the quoted price is before or after tax.

What to write in your request

Say where the door goes (front, side or garage), the opening width and height in inches or centimetres, and which side it opens on. Add the finish or colour you want, such as primed, black or white, and whether you need glass, a sidelite or a transom. Name the manufacturer or series if you know it, your city, your budget, and whether you need installation.

Describe the door in your own words in a request on BlaBlaPrice, with a photo if you have one. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Canada, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them.
