Installed cost is project-specific. The main variables are whether you choose one or two sidelights, fiberglass door style and finish, sidelight and door glass, hardware, and whether the existing frame and surrounding trim can be reused. For a checkable price, obtain an itemized on-site quote that lists the door unit, sidelight unit(s), glass and hardware upgrades, removal and installation labor, and any frame, trim, or finish repairs.
Yes, in scope. Adding one or two sidelights adds glass units, a larger frame assembly, and additional installation and finishing work compared with swapping only the door slab in the same opening. The company lists sidelights, transoms, and grille patterns as design enhancements beyond the base door.
Entry-door glass selections affect light, privacy, energy efficiency, and style. The company's entry-door glass guide covers options from low-E to obscure and decorative glass. Selection of clear, obscure, or decorative glass for the door and matching sidelights changes both appearance and product cost.
