How much do internal doors cost to install?

Answer 1

No way..! Looking at a price competent for N.Y. / Los Angeles Areas, a charge for a skilled labor to install a door should average around $75 an hour; and to hang a new door (average measurements being 32" x 80") with #2-hinges, doorknob and strike plate needing to be drilled/chiseled out should take less than 2-hours. Most skilled labor (and I do mean someone with experience and proper tools) will charge between $150 - $250 per door with the higher end figuring in the need to sand and plane some of the sides of the door to fit since most existing door jams are not square. Note: It is usually a faster and potentially a cheaper outcome to install a pre-hung door that can be purchased with the door already set within a door jam and (usually) fabricated with a doorknob and strike plate holes already cut... The installation time is quicker for a pre-hung door by 30 minutes (with a rough installation time being 1 1/2 hours) and there being an add-cost of casement moldings for both sides of the door frame with the installation time already figured into the estimate. If the door jam is not square, and more time is needed to shape the door to fit, an add-cost should be figured into the labor time.

Answer 2

This will depend on whether the installer is a professional or a do it yourselfer. A simple interior door is not very expensive, maybe $20-30 but putting it in takes a little effort and knowledge. A carpenter will usually take a couple of hours to do it and probably charge $25-35 per hour.

Answer 3

It will all depend on the size of the door, your location and each individual company. Most companys will charge around 60$ for a full instillation, but its give or take with the company.

Answer 4

Anywhere from $300 to $8,000 and up depending on the door.
