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.

    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.
