When it comes to installing a new shopfront door, most business owners know the importance of getting multiple quotes. But here’s the catch: not all quotes are created equal.
What looks like the cheapest option upfront can often balloon into a far more expensive project once hidden extras start rolling in. At KRGS Doors, we believe in transparent pricing—so you know exactly what you’re getting and what it will cost. To help you avoid costly surprises, here are five shopfront door quote costs you should never overlook.
- Installation (Is It Included or Extra?)
Some companies will quote you only for the door itself—then spring the installation costs on you later. This can easily run into the thousands depending on the complexity of the project.
At KRGS, your quote is comprehensive and clear. Installation is itemised upfront so you know the total cost before signing anything.
- Top Track and Hardware
A shopfront door is only as strong as the track and hardware that supports it. But many quotes conveniently skip over these essential items, only to add them later as “extras.” KRGS quotes always include the necessary track, locks, and fittings—the complete system, not just the door panel.
- Powder Coating or Custom Finishes
Do you want your shopfront to match your branding? Powder coating or custom finishes are often forgotten in “cheap” quotes. When added later, they can dramatically increase your costs. KRGS factors in your desired finish—whether it’s powder-coated black, anodised, or colour-matched to your brand—right from the start.
- Site Visit & Measurements
Accurate measurement is crucial for a perfect fit. Some companies cut corners here, skipping site visits until after you’ve committed, then charging extra for corrections or adjustments. KRGS includes professional site measurements as part of the process. Our team ensures everything fits flawlessly before manufacturing even begins.
- Warranty & Aftercare
Not all warranties are equal—and sometimes, you’ll find out too late that service calls and maintenance aren’t covered. KRGS provides a clear warranty and ongoing service support, so you have peace of mind knowing your investment is protected long after installation.
Why This Matters
If you don’t compare apples to apples, the cheapest quote can quickly become the most expensive. By making sure the five items above are included, you’ll avoid hidden costs and make a truly informed decision. And with KRGS Doors, you’ll never need to worry about what’s missing—we provide honest, complete, and transparent quotes every time.
✅ Pro Tip: When comparing quotes, always ask: “Does this include installation, hardware, finishes, site visits, and warranty?” If the answer isn’t clear, you might be in for a shock later.
Final Word
Your shopfront door isn’t just another purchase—it’s an investment in your business’s security, appearance, and customer experience. Make sure your quote reflects that.
At KRGS Doors, we don’t do half-measures. We do the full package—upfront, transparent, and reliable. Because the only surprise you should get is how good your new shopfront looks.
