How to use this result

Use the estimate to compare complete door solutions, not reader-only prices. Existing frames, locks and egress requirements can move the result substantially.

Door multiplier

Complex openings receive a larger allowance for hardware and specialist labour.

Credential cost

The tool includes an initial card, fob or mobile-credential allowance but not ongoing user turnover.

Important: Door locking, fire egress and accessibility require qualified review. The calculator does not determine compliant hardware.
