Hello everyone,

In our condominium unit, the door had to be forced open – unfortunately, the door frame and door were significantly damaged and need to be repaired.

The contractor hired by the property management sent us a quote and said that only a complete replacement of the door including the frame would be economically reasonable.

The prices (net, excluding taxes):
  • Installation costs 502 EUR
  • Astra WE door unit (door leaf with frame featuring Smart² edge, SSK 1, cladding width 80mm (3 inches), V 4426 living area, including door viewer) 833 EUR
  • Miscellaneous (disposal / travel costs / door hardware) 85 EUR
So a total of just under 1400 EUR net plus VAT.

This is a job at the Lower Saxony coast.

The cost for the door unit itself seems quite high to me.

Since I don’t have any experience in this area: Are these prices typical for the market?
Unfortunately, I can’t find the exact model – maybe I’m using the wrong search terms?

Thanks for your input!

Does the existing door provide any information about the manufacturer or model? Please upload some pictures; they help both in providing assistance and encourage more people to "read" along.

Thank you for the quick response.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo of the door itself right now—only one of the damaged door frame.
To me, as a non-expert, the door just looks like a standard, everyday door.
Brown with a peephole.

The locking area was broken out and then temporarily fixed back in place with a metal bracket.
Of course, this is not a permanent solution.

Wooden door and damaged door frame with crack, door slightly open, view into hallway.

Sounds quite expensive at first.

Installing a door through Hornbach costs 100 euros if purchased there.

For example, we have a solid core door to the basement with soundproof sealing, which would also be suitable as an apartment entrance door.

It cost about 540 euros in 2016; we installed it ourselves.

However, this is not a hassle-free package.

An apartment entrance door is common property, isn’t it?

Edit: But the owner pays for the replacement.
