This section is from the book "Hicks' Builders' Guide", by I. P. Hicks. Also available from Amazon: Hicks' Builders' Guide.
The different parts of work required to put up sliding doors are worth as follows :
|
Lining partitions and putting up track .......... |
$7.00 |
|
Setting jambs .......... |
1.00 |
|
Casing door frame .......... |
1.00 |
|
Band molding frame .......... |
.30 |
|
Hanging doors and putting on lock .......... |
3.50 |
|
Cutting in stops .......... |
.20 |
|
Total .......... |
$13.00 |
Thus sliding doors are worth $ 13 per set, and may vary according to size and style of finish up to $30.
A single sliding door is worth very nearly as much as double doors. The difference in the labor of putting them up in most cases would not be over $2.
The cost of labor for putting in folding doors complete is from $3.75 to $5.50 per set. To fit, hang and put on lock and flush bolts is worth from $ 1.75 to $3.50 per set.
