Swing / French doors
Swing doors are hinged door leaves that pivot open on the jamb. A single-leaf is one slab; a French (double-leaf) door is two leaves that meet in the middle at an astragal. Anchor prices these PER DOOR, not per linear foot, with the threshold hardware already rolled into the per-door cost and a sill-flashing toggle for the peel-and-stick membrane under the sill. Plan on about 75 minutes of labor for a single-leaf and 105 minutes for a double; a single-leaf 36" slab also counts as roughly 3 LF when it feeds the rest of your material math.
- Single-leaf labor: ~75 min
- Double-leaf (French) labor: ~105 min
- Single-leaf 36in slab counts as ~3 LF
- French double-leaf counts as ~6 LF (two 36in slabs)
- Pricing: per door (threshold hardware included)
- Sill flashing: toggle on/off per door, priced per LF of door width
- Sized by the slab/leaf width, not by the opening — a 36in slab is the typical single-leaf; a French pair is usually two 36in leaves.
- On a French door the two leaves close against an astragal — the vertical strip where the leaves meet and seal — while a single-leaf just latches into the strike jamb.
- Threshold hardware (sill, sweep, anchors) is always included in the per-door price, so you don't line-item it separately.
- Turn sill flashing on for new construction setting a door over concrete; turn it off when flashing is supplied separately or reused on a remodel.
Pros
- Per-door pricing is simple to quote — no LF math to build the door price itself
- Threshold hardware is bundled in, so nothing gets forgotten on the line item
- French/double-leaf gives a wide clear opening without the cost of a slider or bifold
Watch-outs
- A French door's astragal and second leaf add hardware and alignment time — hence ~105 min vs ~75 min
- Sill flashing is an easy toggle to overlook; leaving it off over concrete invites water intrusion
- Hinged leaves need clear floor space for the swing arc, unlike a slider
