Slab Doors vs. Prehung Doors: What's the Difference?
Slab Door Installation
A slab door is simply the door itself, without a frame.
If your existing door jamb is in good condition, replacing only the slab can be a cost-effective option.
However, slab doors often require careful measuring, trimming, hinge mortising and hardware installation to fit correctly.
Even a small difference in alignment can cause a door to rub, stick or fail to latch properly.
Prehung Door Installation
A prehung door comes already mounted inside its own frame.
This is often the better option when the existing jamb is damaged, out of square or being replaced as part of a renovation.
Prehung installations may involve removing the existing frame, positioning and shimming the new jamb, securing the assembly and installing new casing.
While prehung doors generally involve more labour, they can provide a cleaner result when the existing opening needs attention.
What Affects Interior Door Installation Costs?
Several factors can influence the final price.
Door size and material: Solid-core doors are generally heavier than hollow-core doors and may require additional handling and adjustment.
Existing frame condition: Damaged, twisted or out-of-square jambs can increase installation time.
Hardware installation: New hinges, handles, privacy locks and latch preparation may require additional work.
Trim and casing: Replacing casing, filling nail holes, caulking and preparing trim for painting can add to the scope.
Custom modifications: Widening openings, adjusting framing or fitting non-standard doors typically requires a custom estimate.
Number of doors: Installing several doors during one project may reduce the average labour cost per door.
Is It Worth Replacing Interior Doors?
Absolutely, especially if your existing doors are damaged, outdated or no longer operate properly.
New interior doors can improve the appearance of hallways and rooms, complement updated flooring and trim, and provide better sound reduction when upgrading to solid-core options.
For homeowners renovating an older Calgary property, replacing doors and casing together can create a noticeable improvement without requiring a complete remodel.
