Door Installation in Sherwood
Internal and external door installation, replacement and rehanging - solid core and solid timber doors, entry doors, cavity sliders, bifolds and stackers, plus frames, jambs and hardware. Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed builder (Licence No. 15620733) delivering door installation across Sherwood and the wider Brisbane region.
Door Installation in Sherwood - what to expect
Sherwood is a quiet, leafy western suburb with wide streets, established trees and a strong stock of character homes. Pre-war Queenslanders and interwar homes on large blocks, plus post-war houses closer to the rail line. Kitchens, bathrooms, timber flooring restoration and rear extensions are typical. For door installation specifically, this matters. Parts of Sherwood near the river carry flood overlay conditions. Where that applies we specify resilient materials, appropriate floor levels and cabinetry substrates that will survive an inundation event. Every Sherwood project is quoted at a fixed price after a site inspection, delivered by one licensed team, and finished with the documentation and warranties you should expect from a licensed builder.

Our door installation service in Sherwood
Internal door replacement
Swapping hollow-core doors for solid-core changes how a house feels immediately - weight in the hand, a solid close instead of a rattle, and noticeably better acoustics between bedrooms, studies and living areas. Paired with new lever hardware and quality hinges it is one of the cheapest quality upgrades in any renovation.
Entry doors in a coastal climate
Entry doors here deal with UV, driving rain and salt air. Timber doors must be sealed on all six faces including the top and bottom edges, hardware needs a quality marine-grade or PVD finish rather than budget chrome, and weather seals and thresholds have to actually stop wind-driven rain, not just look tidy.
New openings, sliders and hardware
Framing a new door opening means a correctly sized lintel, jamb studs, patched linings and matching trim - and an engineer where the wall is load-bearing. We also install cavity sliders, barn doors, bifolds and stackers, and upgrade locks, closers and lever sets throughout a home.
What door installation cost in Sherwood (2026)
Hanging a door into an existing frame typically costs $180-$350.

Prices vary with access, existing condition and the level of finish you choose. Parts of Sherwood near the river carry flood overlay conditions. Where that applies we specify resilient materials, appropriate floor levels and cabinetry substrates that will survive an inundation event.

A single door is usually a couple of hours. Replacing all internal doors through a four-bedroom home generally takes 2-3 days.

Frequently asked questions - Sherwood
Can you fix a door that sticks or will not latch?
Yes, and it is one of our most common call-outs in Sherwood. Sticking doors are usually a dropped hinge, bowed jamb, swollen door or a strike plate out of position. We diagnose the actual cause on site rather than planing the door, because a planed door that swelled in humidity leaves a gap once it dries out.
Do you supply the doors or can I supply my own?
Either works. We can supply doors and hardware through our trade suppliers, usually below retail, or install doors you have already bought for your Sherwood home. If you are supplying, send us the sizes and hardware details first so we can confirm they suit the openings.
Can you install a cavity slider into an existing wall?
Usually yes. In Sherwood homes we check the wall for studs, wiring, plumbing and load-bearing conditions first, then frame the cavity, install the unit plumb, patch the linings and match your existing skirting and architraves so it does not look like a retrofit.
How much do door installation cost in Sherwood?
Hanging a door into an existing frame typically costs $180-$350. A solid-core internal door supplied and hung runs $450-$900, solid timber $800-$1,400, and an external entry door $1,200-$4,500 installed. We inspect the property in Sherwood before quoting, so the figure you receive is a fixed price for your job rather than a generic range.

What makes door installation different in Sherwood?
Pre-war Queenslanders and interwar homes on large blocks, plus post-war houses closer to the rail line. Kitchens, bathrooms, timber flooring restoration and rear extensions are typical. Parts of Sherwood near the river carry flood overlay conditions. Where that applies we specify resilient materials, appropriate floor levels and cabinetry substrates that will survive an inundation event.
Do I need approval or a licensed builder?
In Queensland, residential building work over $3,300 must be carried out by a QBCC-licensed contractor. Structural work and elevated decks also require engineering and building approval. We arrange the certification and documentation as part of the job.
Do you provide a written fixed-price quote?
Yes. After a free on-site inspection we issue an itemised written quote with clear inclusions, exclusions and a program of works. What you sign is what you pay unless you request a variation.
