Double Exterior Doors Toronto
What are double doors?
Prehung double doors are a pair of two doors that are hinged on opposite sides of a door frame, typically installed together to create a wide opening. When closed, they meet at the center of the frame, providing an elegant and symmetrical appearance. Double doors can enhance the aesthetics and functionality of a space and are popular for their grand and inviting look.
Double exterior doors are commonly used in Toronto as an entryway to a home, patio, or garden. Patio double doors, often referred to as French or garden double doors, almost always have full-size clear glass panels to allow natural light into the interior.
Double doors are made of steel and fiberglass, and can be customized with various features, including sidelites/transoms, glass inserts, decorative panels, and hardware.
We offer both of these types and have them available in many styles and finishes from modern double doors with sidelights to classic-looking ones, so you can always find your match.

Double Entrance Doors Cost
How much does the front entrance double door cost? There are thousands of possible door design configurations which lead to a great price range for a single door. The cost of steel entry double doors starts as low as $1,450, which would act as your base that can be customized to become $6,000 or more. The cost of house entry door replacement on average is about $3,500. Every extra piece that you add to it reflects on its price. It isn't very easy to put a price tag for every component as those range in price, so we’ll give you the indications to understand why one door is more than another.
| ✅ Door type | Double Entry Door |
| ✅ Models in our catalogue | 400+ |
| ✅ Average double outside doors installation cost | $900 |
| ✅ The cheapest double entry door | $1350 |
| ✅ The most expensive double entry door | $6000+ |
- Door Configuration: a single door is the cheapest and it goes up in price when you add another door, sidelite or transom.
- Door Size: standard door size is 28”; 30”; 32”; 34” or 36” x2 in width and 79.5” in height. Everything else is a custom size (e.g. 24”, 26” x 2, etc.), which adds to the price.
- Door Design: there are some common classic solid door designs and there are some more modern options, but the price difference is small.
- Door Glass Design: clear glass is usually the cheapest; one texture privacy glass is more (ex. sandblast, rain, chinchilla, etc. and they range in price); design glass is next in line (the different designs range in price), and on the top of the list is wrought iron (they also range in price) There are some exceptions though.
- Door Glass Size: the bigger the glass the more it is, considering you are choosing from the standard sizes because a smaller custom glass size will cost you more than a standard bigger one. Most common standard sizes: 22x36” (half the door); 22x48” (3/4 of the door); 22x64” (full size).
- Sidelite: Double doors look good with sidelights. There is a sidelite with a panel, which basically has an edge around the glass and there is a direct glass sidelite, where the glass is encased into a frame. The 2nd one is cheaper, but it all changes once you add the glass to it, then it all depends on the glass design and the size because for the direct glaze sidelite the glass must be custom made.
- Transom: the size of the transom dictates its price and also the shaped one is extra.
- Color: white color is free, color for the outside is extra plus more if you add the color inside. Stain for the fiberglass is more than paint and the fibreglass door must be painted or stained on both sides.
- Lock and handle: the design and even the color finish makes a difference. The price range is big here from a simple deadbolt with a lever to a multipoint lock or one with a pull bar handle.
- Miscellaneous customizations: there is a wide range of other design features that can customize your door and change its price: executive panels, stainless steel lines and inserts, grooves or nails/clavos, decorative shelves; mouldings, sill color, frame depth, etc.

Our clients ask
-
What does double entry door mean?
A double entry door, also known as double front doors, refers to a pair of two doors installed side by side within a single door frame at the entrance of a building. These doors typically swing open or can have other operational mechanisms, allowing for a wider and more impressive entryway. Double entry doors are often chosen for their aesthetic appeal, architectural impact, and the potential for increased functionality and access. -
Is double door good for entrance?
Both large and small homes can benefit from having two front doors to create a more inviting entryway. Double doors, for instance, can balance out and complement a bigger home's expansive front. However, in smaller homes, double front doors may make the entryway feel more open and welcoming. Additionally, they can accommodate a wider entrance, making it easier to move large items and improving ventilation. -
Can you replace a single door with double doors?
Yes, it is possible to replace a single door with double doors, but it typically involves some structural modifications. This process may include expanding the door's opening, installing a new frame to accommodate the double doors, and ensuring proper alignment and functionality. It's a feasible project, but it's essential to consult with a professional contractor to ensure a successful and secure installation. -
What size is a double entry door?
- Double door standard width with a frame: 58"; 62"; 66"; 70"; 74"
- Standard height with a frame: 82.5"(7') or 98.5"(8')
- Any custom size is possible
-
Do double doors leak? Are they drafty?
Double doors can potentially be more prone to air leakage and drafts compared to a single door because there is a larger seam where the two doors meet in the center. However, the extent to which they leak or are drafty depends on the quality of the installation and the doors themselves. Well-installed and properly weatherstripped double doors can minimize air leakage and drafts. Choosing energy-efficient doors with good insulation properties can also help reduce these issues. Regular maintenance and ensuring a tight seal at the center meeting point can further mitigate drafts and leaks. -
Should double doors open in or out?
The direction in which double doors should open, whether in or out, depends on various factors. For most residential applications, double doors typically swing inward, which is a common configuration for security reasons, as it's more challenging for intruders to force their way in. However, the decision may be influenced by local building codes, available space, design preferences, and the intended use of the doors.
-
Are double doors easier to break into?
Double doors are not inherently easier to break into, but their security depends on the quality of the doors, the frame, and the locking mechanisms used. Properly installed and well-secured double doors can be as secure as single doors. However, there may be a slightly higher risk of forced entry at the point where the two doors meet in the center. Therefore, it's crucial to invest in robust locking systems and security measures to ensure the doors are secure and resistant to break-ins.
-
How much does it cost to replace a front door with a double door?
The cost of replacing a front door with a double door can vary widely based on several factors, including the type of double door, materials, design, labor costs, and any necessary structural modifications. On average, you can expect to spend anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000 for a basic double door installation.
-
How long does it take a professional to replace double front doors?
The time it takes for a professional to replace double front doors can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the installation, the condition of the existing entryway, and any customization or additional work required. On average, a straightforward replacement of double front doors will take 3-5 hours for an experienced crew of 2 people. This includes the removal of the old doors, preparation of the door frame, installation of the new double doors, and any finishing touches.
-
Are double front doors dated?
Double front doors are not inherently dated, but their popularity and design aesthetics have evolved over time. They were more common in architectural styles from the past, such as colonial or Mediterranean homes. However, contemporary design trends often incorporate double front doors with modern features and materials, ensuring they can maintain a timeless and stylish appearance when integrated into a well-planned architectural design. Whether they appear dated or not depends on how they are incorporated into the overall design of the building and the surrounding elements.
