What affects door cost
- 1Door type and size

- 2Security and glazing
Multipoint locks, the right cylinder and glazing options affect both price and insurance/security rating.
- 3Fitting and making good

The front door is the first thing a buyer or tenant touches. A new composite door is a small line on the schedule with an outsized effect on how the whole property reads — classic cheap kerb appeal.
