What Door Replacement Means at EHI Custom Doors
Door replacement means taking out an old front or back door and putting a new one in its place. At EHI Custom Doors, the new door is always one we make ourselves: a custom fiberglass door built to your measurements and installed by our own team.
We replace doors. We do not repair them, and we do not install doors from other makers. If your door has been patched, sealed and painted again and again, that money is better spent once on a door that will not need it.
We replace single doors, double doors and French-style pairs, with or without sidelights and transoms, at the front and the back of the house.
- Front doors and back entry doors
- Single doors, double doors and French-style pairs
- Doors with sidelights and transoms
- Wood, steel and older doors replaced with fiberglass
Signs It Is Time to Replace Your Door
Most worn doors tell you before they fail. If you see one of these, a replacement is usually the honest answer.
Drafts Along the Edges
You feel cold air near the door, or you can see daylight around the frame. The seal has stopped doing its job.
Water or Frost at the Bottom
Puddles, damp flooring or frost on the inside near the threshold mean water is getting where it should not.
A Door That Sticks or Will Not Latch
A warped slab or a frame that has moved makes the door rub, jam or refuse to lock.
Soft, Dark or Flaking Wood
Soft spots and peeling finish on a wood door or frame point to rot that spreads even when it is painted over.
Rust, Dents or Cracks
Rust spots on steel, cracks in the slab or a dented skin are damage that does not heal.
A Lock You No Longer Trust
If the hardware is loose or the frame flexes when you push, the door is not protecting your home like it used to.
What a Replacement Fixes
Each problem has a cause, and each cause has a fix built into our doors.
| What you see | Usual cause | What changes with a new EHI door |
|---|---|---|
| A draft along the edges | Worn seals or a frame that has moved | A new set built to your opening around a foam core with six times the insulation of a wood door |
| Water or frost at the bottom | A failed threshold or water getting behind the frame | Waterproof composite rails and a sealed fit |
| A door that sticks | A warped slab or a frame out of square | Fiberglass does not warp, and the new frame is set square |
| Soft or dark wood | Rot | Fiberglass does not rot |
| Rust spots | An aging steel door | Fiberglass does not rust |
| A weak lock | Worn hardware or a loose frame | A multipoint lock that engages at several points along the frame |

Replacing a Wood or Steel Door With Fiberglass
Most of the doors we replace are wood or steel. This is what changes when the new door is fiberglass.
| Your old door | What tends to fail | What you get with EHI fiberglass |
|---|---|---|
| Wood | Rot, warping, and refinishing every few years | A wood-grain look in Oak Grain or Mahogany Grain that does not rot or warp |
| Steel | Rust and a cold surface | A fiberglass skin over a foam core that does not rust |
| Builder-grade door | A thin slab and a frame that has moved over time | A door built to your opening, with a lifetime warranty on the fiberglass |
We are a fiberglass company, so we are not neutral. Our fiberglass vs wood vs steel guide sets out where each material does well.
Toronto Rules for Replacing a Door
For a same-size replacement in the 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 stay the same and nothing structural changes.
A heritage-designated home or a house in a Heritage Conservation District has extra review. Heritage Planning decides what is accepted, and we cannot promise an approval. Ask them before you order. If you live in a condo or townhome with a corporation, check with your management office first.
- Same-size replacement: usually no permit
- Heritage home or district: ask Heritage Planning first
- Condo or townhome: check with your corporation
- New or wider opening: a permit is needed

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair doors or only replace them?
We only replace them. EHI Custom Doors does not repair doors or frames. When a door is too far gone, we replace it with a custom fiberglass door built to your opening.
Will a new door fit my old opening?
Yes. After you approve your quote, one of our installers measures the opening you have today, and we build the door to those measurements.
How long does door replacement take?
Plan on 4 to 6 weeks from a confirmed order, plus 1 to 2 weeks for custom glass. We will talk through timing for your home in your quote.
How much does it cost to replace a front door in Toronto?
Our starting prices are $2,500 for a single door and $5,100 for a double door, both installed. The final price depends on size, glass, finish, sidelights and hardware.
Do I need a permit to replace my door?
Usually not for a same-size replacement in the existing opening of a detached, semi-detached or row house. Heritage homes, wider openings and condos have extra rules. Confirm with the City of Toronto for your address.
Can you replace a wood or steel door with fiberglass?
Yes. Most of the doors we replace are wood or steel. Our fiberglass doors come in Oak Grain, Mahogany Grain and Smooth finishes, and they do not rot, rust or warp.
Can you replace my back door at the same time?
Yes. We build front and back entry doors, and ordering both together lets you match the finish and hardware.
Custom door replacement in Toronto works best when the new door is made for the opening it is going into. EHI Custom Doors manufactures fiberglass front and back entry doors to your measurements and replaces your old door with its own team.
Every door has a lifetime warranty on the fiberglass and a clear starting price. Call 647-952-2311 or send your quote request, and we will help you plan the replacement.
