Cost of double glazed door

Hi everyone,
I am considering replacing our wooden front door with a double glazed one. We have a single door and a glass panel (single glazing, wood frame) next to it at present.
I'd like to have both replaced with double glazed alternatives due to mainly reasons of security (we have only a couple of flimsy old locks on the door at the moment) and costs of heating (wooden doors and single glazed panel of glass let in quite a lot of draught).
Does anyone have any idea of how much it will cost to replace? Just a ballpark figure or a range would be helpful.
Many thanks

Just go and ask a glazing company. You are under no obligation to accept their quote, and you will then know exactly how much it will cost. I've just bought a large front door to fit myself and the cost was about £275-300, not sure exactly as I bought some windows at the same time and the invoice was for the whole lot.. Any figure you get on here is nothing more than an informed guess.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -
It can vary enormously depending on where you live. I recently paid around £800 for a half glazed door with a cat flap fitted to replace a wooden single glazed affair.
A couple of different friends who have recently had or enquired about new front doors (no glazing) have been quoted in between £650-£750. These are prices for a London suburb.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0
