What Our Door Installation Covers
Our custom door installation covers the door we manufacture for you: the framing, the fit and the final seal. We install the front and back entry doors we build. We do not install doors from other makers, and we do not sell installation on its own.
That is on purpose. A door built by us for your opening and installed by us is one job with one team answerable for it. If something is not right, there is no finger pointing between a manufacturer and an installer, because they are the same people.
Our starting prices include both manufacturing and installation, so you are never paying for the door in one place and the labour in another.
- The framing, the fit and the final seal
- A full quality check before we leave
- Front and back entry doors, single or double
- Doors with sidelights and transoms
Why Installation Quality Decides How a Door Performs
Natural Resources Canada says windows, doors and skylights can account for up to 35% of a home's heat loss, and that poor installation causes drafts. The door is only half of the result.
Air Stays Out
Drafts start in the gap between the frame and the opening. A tight, well-sealed fit keeps winter air outside where it belongs.
Water Stays Out
A door that is sealed and set correctly sheds rain and melting snow instead of letting it creep behind the frame.
It Opens and Closes Properly
A door that is out of square sticks, rubs and will not latch. A careful fit means it swings freely and locks cleanly.
The Lock Has Something Solid to Hold
A multipoint lock only protects you if the frame it locks into is fastened properly. Installation is part of security.
How Our Door Installation Works
Installation is the last step, but it starts with the first one. Each stage sets up the next.
- 1
Your Quote Is Approved
You choose the design and approve the price digitally. Nothing is built until you are happy.
- 2
We Measure Your Opening
One of our installers visits your home to take precise measurements and confirm every detail. The visit happens after you approve, so it is never a sales call.
- 3
Your Door Is Built to Those Measurements
We manufacture the door in our workshop to the measurements we took. Plan on 4 to 6 weeks, plus 1 to 2 for custom glass.

Our Own Team Installs It
The framing, the fit and the final seal are done by our own people, not a subcontractor.

We Check Everything Before We Leave
A full quality check makes sure the door operates exactly as it should before the job is finished.

Installing in Winter and Every Other Season
We install in every season. That includes a Toronto winter. A foam core fiberglass door is built for that weather, and the winter photo beside this text is a real EHI job.
If you are planning around the calendar, our seasonal guides lay out when to order so your door is ready when you want it. They cover the standard lead time and the extra week or two for custom glass.

Before Install Day: Permits and Special Cases
Most door installations in Toronto do not need a permit, but a few situations do. Here is how to tell which one you are in.
| Your situation | What usually applies | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Same-size door in an existing opening of a detached, semi-detached or row house with one dwelling unit | The City of Toronto does not require a building permit when the location and size do not change and the structure is not affected | We build to your existing opening |
| Heritage-designated home or Heritage Conservation District | Heritage Planning reviews changes that affect heritage features | Ask Heritage Planning before you order |
| Wider opening, or a door where a window was | A building permit is needed | Ask us for a free assessment first |
| Condo or townhome with a corporation | The building's rules usually control the entrance door | Check with your management office first |
Rules change, so confirm with the City of Toronto for your address. Our heritage guide and window-to-door guide cover the detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install doors from other manufacturers?
No. We install the front and back entry doors we manufacture. Building and installing the door ourselves keeps one team responsible for the whole job.
Can I hire you for installation only?
No. We do not sell installation on its own. Our starting prices include manufacturing and installation of your custom door.
Who does the installation, your team or a subcontractor?
Our own team. We do not use dealers or subcontractors, so the people who built your door are the people who install it.
Do you install in winter?
Yes. We install in every season, winter included. Ask us about timing for your home when you request a quote.
Do I need a permit to install a new front door in Toronto?
Usually not for a same-size replacement in the existing opening of a detached, semi-detached or row house. A heritage-designated home, a wider opening or a door where a window was will have extra rules. Confirm with the City of Toronto for your address.
How long until my door is installed?
After you approve your quote and we measure, plan on 4 to 6 weeks to build the door, plus 1 to 2 weeks for custom glass. We will talk through timing for your home in your quote.
Is installation included in your price?
Yes. Our starting prices of $2,500 for a single door and $5,100 for a double door include manufacturing and installation. Ask us to confirm what is included for your home, such as removal of the old door, when you request your quote.
Good custom door installation in Toronto comes down to who does the work and how carefully it is done. EHI Custom Doors manufactures its fiberglass entry doors and installs them with its own team, so one crew is responsible from the first measurement to the final seal.
We install in every season and back every door with a lifetime warranty on the fiberglass. Call 647-952-2311 or send us a quote request to book your door.
