Door Cost in Singapore: What You'll Actually Pay (2026)
Prices checked October 2026 against the published price lists of 526 contractors listed on Homees, MOM's 2025 wage data and Qanvast's 2026 report. How we price →
Doors are quoted **per door**, supply plus installation — and the spread is wide because a "door" can mean a $300 hollow bedroom door or a $1,900 premium fire-rated main door. As a rough 2026 guide: an HDB **main door** runs **S$599–S$1,949**, a **bedroom door** S$250–S$1,600, and a **toilet door** S$150–S$500. Installation adds **S$100–S$600** depending on complexity.The thing to watch isn't the door price — it's whether the quote is all-in. A "$400 door" lobang is often just the slab. Transport, dismantling your old 40kg door, and disposal (you can't dump it at the void deck) all get added later if you don't ask.
| Door | Typical cost (supply) | Install |
|---|---|---|
| Main door — basic laminate | S$599 – S$1,249 | S$200 – S$600 |
| Main door — premium / fire-rated | S$1,049 – S$1,949 | S$200 – S$600 |
| Bedroom door | S$250 – S$1,600 | S$100 – S$300 |
| Toilet / bathroom door | S$150 – S$500 | S$100 – S$300 |
| HDB gate (usually bundled) | S$400 – S$900* | included in package |
Gate figure indicative — gates are almost always bundled with the main door. Final price depends on material, fire rating and hardware.
Main door
Your main door is part security, part first impression. HDB main doors run S$599–S$1,949 depending on material and spec:
- Basic laminate: from ~S$599, up to ~S$1,249. Clean, modern, scratch- and moisture-resistant — the default for most flats.
- Premium laminate: S$1,049–S$1,949, more design detailing on the same solid core.
- Fire-rated: S$1,199–S$1,599. Required by SCDF for certain units (more on that below).
- Solid wood: sits at the top end — durable and classic, but pricier.
A smart move most homeowners make: bundle the main door with the gate and a digital lock. It usually costs less than buying each separately, and everything's installed together so it actually fits.
Bedroom doors
Bedroom doors don't need security features, so you've got more freedom — and the price hinges mostly on the core:
- Hollow / eco-core: S$250–S$450. Lightweight, sounds like a drum when you knock. Fine for rental units, not ideal for your own long stay.
- Solid core: S$450–S$900. Proper sound insulation — the difference between peace and quiet and hearing the kids' games through the wall. Worth it with hybrid work the norm now.
- Panel / sliding / designer: S$600–S$1,600+. Classic panel looks, glass inserts, barn doors and sliders.
Installation is S$100–S$300 per door. Premium laminate finishes add about S$40 a door.
Toilet & bathroom doors
These take moisture, so material matters more than looks. Aluminium and PVC bi-fold or slide-and-swing doors are the norm, running S$150–S$500 including install. They're cheaper than bedroom doors, but don't skimp on a moisture-resistant build — a swollen, mouldy toilet door is a fast regret.
Fire-rated doors — not optional for some units
Certain HDB units are required by SCDF to have a fire-rated main door (rated to resist fire for 30, 60 or 90 minutes, using solid-core wood or steel). These cost S$1,199–S$1,599. Check whether your unit needs one before you fall in love with a non-rated design — use an HDB-licensed, BCA-registered supplier who can issue the right certification.
The "all-in" gotcha
This is where the online price and the final invoice part ways. Before you commit, ask the supplier to confirm these are included:
- Transport & delivery — S$50–S$100, especially on single-door orders.
- Dismantling the old door — labour and time, particularly a heavy main door.
- Disposal — you can't leave a 40kg door at the void deck; contractors charge to cart it off.
- Frame replacement — if the existing frame is shot, that's extra.
- Digital lock — a separate add-on, often bundled for value.
A transparent quote is "all-in". If a price looks too good, it's probably just the slab.
Sample budget — whole 4-room flat
Replacing every door in a 4-room:
- Main door (basic laminate) + gate bundle ≈ S$1,000–S$2,100
- 3 bedroom doors (solid core) @ S$450–S$900 ≈ S$1,350–S$2,700
- 2 toilet doors @ S$150–S$500 ≈ S$300–S$1,000
- Installs, dismantling, disposal, delivery ≈ S$1,000–S$2,500
- Total: roughly S$3,650–S$8,300, depending on materials and whether you add a digital lock.
Rules worth knowing
- Fire-rated main doors are mandatory for certain units under SCDF — verify before buying.
- Relocating the main door is possible but needs HDB approval and careful planning to preserve structural integrity — don't DIY it.
- Use a licensed supplier (HDB-licensed / BCA-registered), especially for main and fire-rated doors.
How to keep the bill sensible
- Bundle main door + gate + digital lock — cheaper and better-fitting than buying separately.
- Solid core where it counts (bedrooms you sleep in), hollow where it doesn't (store room).
- Insist on an all-in quote covering transport, dismantling and disposal.
- Check the fire-rating requirement for your unit early.
- Replace doors in one order to spread the transport/delivery fee.
