Door installation cost in Kenya in 2026 depends less on a single national rate and more on leaf type, frame condition, storey access and town. Doors Kenya separates product price from labour so clients can compare fairly.

Cost components

Leaf or doorset supply (the catalogue from-price).
Frame supply if the old frame fails.
Ironmongery upgrades (locks, hinges, closers, operators).
Labour and logistics.
Making-good of plaster and paint.

Indicative patterns

A simple interior hang on a true frame in Nairobi is the lowest labour line. Steel security setting, glass doors and automatic operators cost more because of tooling, sealing and commissioning. See installation services for process detail.

How to avoid quote shock

Send photos of both sides of the opening, the existing frame corners and the floor finish. Mention if the lift is small or if work is only allowed on weekends. Those facts change crew size and time.

For product budgets, start with category pages such as flush doors from KES 8,500 and steel security doors from KES 45,000.
