As of April 21th, 2026, prices remain varied based on material quality and the "leaf" size (standard 3x7 or 3.5x7).
In Pakistan, doors are either sold as Ready-made units or calculated per Square Foot (Sq. Ft.) for custom wooden designs.
Door Type | Material | Price Range (Per Door) | Best For |
Solid Wood Door | Diyar / Ash Wood | Rs. 25,000 – 130,000 | Main Entrance |
Semi-Solid Door | MDF Core + Veneer | Rs. 16,000 – 30,000 | Bedrooms / Lounge |
Plywood Flush Door | Commercial Ply | Rs. 8,000 – 12,000 | Economy Houses |

For those hiring a carpenter to build custom doors, the today door rate is often quoted per square foot.

Solid doors are made from a single type of wood (Diyar, Shisham, or Ash). They offer maximum security and can be carved with intricate designs.
Today's Trend: Ash Wood doors with a "Matte Finish" are currently the #1 choice for modern Pakistani interiors.
Because wood swells and rots in moisture, PVC and Fiberglass doors are now the standard for bathrooms in Pakistan. They are 100% waterproof and termite-proof.
Increasingly used for drawing rooms and terraces, uPVC doors provide excellent soundproofing and energy efficiency (keeping the AC cooling inside).
What is a Semi-Solid door?
A semi-solid door has a solid wood frame around the edges but uses an MDF or honeycomb filling in the center, covered by a thin wood veneer. It looks like solid wood but costs 50% less.
Which door is best for the Main Entrance?
For security and durability, Solid Diyar or Ash Wood is the best. Ensure the door is at least 1.5 to 2 inches thick for maximum strength.
Do these rates include the "Chaukhat" (Frame)?
No. The today door rate usually refers only to the "Palla" (Door Leaf). A wooden or steel chaukhat will cost an additional Rs. 5,000 to 12,000 depending on the material.
How can I check if a door is truly solid wood?
Check the weight; solid doors are significantly heavier. Also, look at the top or bottom edge of the door; a solid door will show the natural wood grain throughout, whereas a semi-solid door will show a "sandwich" layer.
