KapMorgan installs French doors across Los Angeles: single doors, double doors, and interior or exterior openings. French doors add light and a sense of space that a standard door cannot, but they need careful alignment since two panels have to meet evenly for the door to latch and seal properly. We measure the opening on site, check that the frame is square, and confirm the exact price before ordering. Most installations finish in a single visit once the doors arrive. Every estimate is free.
French Door Installation: Prices
Prices depend on whether the opening is interior or exterior, the door material, and whether it is a single or double door. we confirm the exact price on site before ordering. Every estimate is free.
Exterior French doors cost more than interior ones because they need weatherstripping, a proper threshold and often a multi-point lock system to seal well against weather. A double door setup naturally costs more than a single door since it involves two panels, matching hinges and an astragal or flush bolt to keep the inactive panel secure. Glass style also matters — divided-lite doors with multiple small panes cost more than a single large pane of tempered glass. $150 minimum per visit, labor only. Several small tasks in one visit are added together.
What’s Included
- French door installation on a new or existing frame
- Alignment so both panels close evenly and latch cleanly
- Lock, handle and astragal hardware installed
- Weatherstripping and threshold for exterior French doors
When to Replace French Doors
- Panels that don’t align or close evenly
- Cracked, fogged or single-pane glass you want to upgrade
- Doors that stick, drag on the floor or won’t latch
- Outdated hardware or finish that doesn’t match the room
- Drafts or light gaps visible between the two panels
French doors are less forgiving of an out-of-square frame than a single door, since both panels have to meet an astragal or each other at the same point every time. A frame that has shifted even slightly over the years — common in older Los Angeles homes — can cause one panel to bind while the other has a visible gap. We shim and adjust the frame during installation so both panels swing and latch consistently, not just on the day we leave.

French doors are a common upgrade when opening a dining room or living room to a patio, since the double-panel design lets in more light than a single sliding door while still giving a full opening when both panels are unlocked. For interior openings, French doors are popular for a home office or den where a solid door would feel too closed off. We can advise on hardware and glass options based on how the room is actually used, not just how it looks in a catalog.
