Apartment Entrance Door in Condominium | Repair | Cost Estimate | Feedback

Hello everyone,

In our condominium, the door had to be broken open – unfortunately, the frame and door were significantly damaged and need to be repaired.

The craftsman commissioned by the property management sent us a cost estimate and said that only a complete replacement of the door including the frame would be economical.

The prices (net):

[*]Installation costs 502 EUR
[*]Astra WE door element (door leaf with frame with Smart² edge, SSK 1, cladding width 80mm, V 4426 WF, incl. door viewer) 833 EUR
[*]Miscellaneous (disposal / travel / door fittings) 85 EUR

All together just under 1400 EUR net plus VAT.

This is a job on the Lower Saxony coast.

The costs for the door element especially seem quite high to me.

Since I lack experience: Are the prices asked here market standard? Unfortunately, I can’t find the exact model – maybe I am searching for the wrong terms?

Thanks for your assessment!

Can no one here help? I would really appreciate it!

Does the cabinet door provide no indications of manufacturer or model name? Upload some pictures, that helps both with assisting and also motivates more to "read".

Thank you for the quick response. I unfortunately do not have a picture of the door itself right now – only one of the damaged frame. To me as a layperson, the door is just a normal standard door. Brown with a peephole. The locking area was broken out and then provisionally fixed back in its position with a metal strip. Of course, it is not meant to stay like this.

Sounds very expensive at first.

Installation of a door through Hornbach 100 euros if it was purchased there.

For example, we have a solid core door to the basement with soundproof sealing, which would also be suitable as an apartment entrance door.

Cost about 540 euros in 2016, we did the installation ourselves.

But this is not a worry-free package.

An apartment entrance door is common property, isn't it?

Edit: But the owner pays for replacement.
