What Drives French Door Pricing: A Procurement Breakdown
French door pricing is determined by five variables. Understanding each one lets you spec the right product at the right margin.
1. Core Construction
| Core Type | Cost Impact | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Hollow core MDF | Baseline | Interior, low-traffic |
| Solid wood stile-and-rail | +60–120% | Exterior, premium residential |
| Fiberglass composite | +80–140% | Exterior, high-humidity climates |
2. Glass Package
Glass is the second-largest cost driver after core material:
- Clear tempered (standard): included in base price
- Frosted/obscure: +$45–$85 per unit
- Rain glass: +$55–$95 per unit
- Decorative/grille: +$80–$200 per unit
- Low-E insulated (exterior): +$120–$280 per unit
3. Size Premium
Standard French door pairs are 5'0" and 6'0" wide. Oversized units carry a size premium:
| Width | Size Premium |
|---|---|
| Up to 6'0" | None |
| 6'0"–8'0" | +15–25% |
| 8'0"–10'0" | +30–50% |
| 10'0"+ | Custom quote required |
4. Finish
- Unfinished (raw wood): subtract 8–12% from base price
- Primed (ready for paint): base price
- Pre-finished (factory paint or stain): +15–25%
5. Hardware
French doors ordered prehung include basic hinges and threshold. Upgraded hardware (multi-point locks, lever sets, astragal) adds $35–$120 per unit.
Wholesale vs. Retail: Real Price Comparison
A 6'0" standard-grade French door pair (solid wood, clear glass, primed):
| Channel | Price |
|---|---|
| Big-box retail (Home Depot / Lowe's) | $680–$950 |
| Local lumber yard | $520–$780 |
| WholesaleDoorHub (wholesale) | $320–$480 |
Contractor savings per unit: $200–$470. On a 20-unit project, that's $4,000–$9,400 in material cost savings.
How to Get the Lowest Wholesale Price
- Order in volume. Even 10 units unlocks the first discount tier.
- Consolidate specs. Fewer SKUs = better pricing. Standardize on 2–3 sizes per project.
- Order early. Rush orders on custom units carry a 10–15% premium.
- Submit a full spec sheet. Incomplete orders require back-and-forth that delays pricing.
