What Does a Door Price Include? Check Frames, Hardware, and Installation Costs Before Ordering
Summary

Key takeaways
- The prices generally quoted by Feel Wood are for the product only unless documents state that other items are included.
- Frames, hinges, doorknobs, Digital Door Locks, labor, and on-site remediation should be listed as separate line items.
- Installation costs depend on job site conditions, location, and work complexity.
- You should provide the model, size, quantity, job site photos, and desired hardware list before requesting a price.
The term “door price” can mean different things to buyers and sellers. While some people assume it includes installation, the price generally quoted by Feel Wood refers to the product price only and does not include the frame, hardware, and labor, unless stated otherwise in a quotation or promotional offer.
Items That Should Be Itemized in a Door Quotation
- Door leaf: Material, model, pattern, color, size, and quantity.
- Frame: Material, cross-section size, wall thickness, and number of sets.
- Hardware: Hinges, doorknobs, handles, latches, door stops, or Digital Door Locks.
- Labor: On-site measurement, removal of existing items, installation, adjustment, and finishing details.
- Travel or shipping fees: Depending on the area, volume, and job conditions.
- On-site remediation work: Such as out-of-square openings, damaged existing frames, or additional wall work.
Why Can Installation Costs Not Be Stated as a Single Flat Figure Yet?
Doors of the same size may incur different labor costs because new job sites and replacement door installations require different time and steps. Newly constructed houses with properly prepared openings are usually easier to estimate accurately, whereas older sites require checking the frame, walls, floor levels, and existing damage first.
Therefore, stores calculate installation costs based on the job site conditions. Remediation work may incur additional charges for removal, adjusting the opening, or fixing items outside standard installation tasks.
Can Door Hardware Be Purchased Together?
Yes. Feel Wood is an authorized distributor of Häfele and offers hinges, doorknobs, and Digital Door Locks to choose from. Hardware selection should be based on the weight and thickness of the door leaf, application position, frequency of opening and closing, and required security level, rather than appearance or price alone.
What Promotional Details Must Be Read Completely?
Whenever you see a special price post, always check the expiration date, model, color, size, product quantity, and phrases such as "installation included" or "product only". Previous promotional prices may have expired, or the promotional stock may be depleted, so it is best to send the post image to the store for verification.
How to Request a Price to Get a Faster Response
- Send a photo or the model name of interest.
- State the size and number of door leaves.
- Specify whether you need a frame, hinges, doorknob, or Digital Door Lock.
- State whether you are purchasing the product only or require installation.
- Send photos of the job site and specify the district and province.
When you need a quotation, send the information via LINE @feelwood or the Contact Us page, and ask the store to itemize the product, hardware, and labor for clear comparison.
Frequently asked questions
Does the door price include hinges and doorknobs?
Generally, it is not included. Quoted prices are for the product only unless the quotation or promotion explicitly specifies hardware items.
Does the door price include the frame?
Generally, frames are not included. You should inform the store whether you need only the door leaf or the complete set, and provide the wall thickness or frame details for verification.
Can I purchase a Digital Door Lock together with the door?
Yes, Feel Wood is an authorized distributor of Häfele, and you can inquire about Digital Door Locks, hinges, and doorknobs suitable for your door.
Why is it necessary to send job site photos before calculating installation costs?
Because new installations, replacement doors, and remedial work involve different steps. Photos and dimensions help provide a closer estimate for removal, frame adjustments, and travel costs.
