Aluminium doors price in Hyderabad in 2026 typically ranges from Rs 450 to Rs 1,600 per square foot installed, with most homes landing between Rs 550 and Rs 950 per sq ft depending on the door type, aluminium section brand, glass and finish. In simple totals, a standard 3 ft x 7 ft (21 sq ft) sliding door works out to roughly Rs 11,500 to Rs 20,000 fully fitted, while a premium slim-profile French door can cross Rs 30,000. That single per-square-foot number is the first thing every homeowner, builder and interior designer wants pinned down, and it is also where quotes vary the most from one fabricator to the next.
Aluminium has quietly become the default door material across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh because it shrugs off the region's humidity, monsoon damp and, near the coast, salt-laden air far better than timber. It never warps, does not attract termites, and needs almost no maintenance beyond an occasional wipe-down. But because pricing is per square foot and stacked with variables, two aluminium doors quotes for the very same opening can differ by 40 percent, and it is rarely because one fabricator is simply being greedy. The gap almost always hides in the section weight, the glass grade or the hardware.
This 2026 cost guide from Hakimi Aluminium and Glass breaks down realistic, current rates in Hyderabad and Secunderabad so you can budget accurately and instantly spot an over-priced or suspiciously cheap quote. Every figure below is an indicative installed rate covering the aluminium section, glass or panel, hardware and standard fitting unless noted otherwise.

Aluminium Doors Price in Hyderabad by Type (2026 Rate Table)
Price depends heavily on the door style, the aluminium section brand and the glass you choose. As a working guide for Hyderabad and Secunderabad in 2026, expect the following indicative installed rates per square foot, each covering the section, standard glass or panel, hardware and fitting:
- Standard hinged / openable aluminium door: Rs 450 to Rs 750 per sq ft
- 2-track or 3-track aluminium sliding door: Rs 550 to Rs 950 per sq ft
- Aluminium French (double-leaf) door: Rs 700 to Rs 1,200 per sq ft
- Slim-profile / minimal aluminium door: Rs 900 to Rs 1,600 per sq ft
- Aluminium bathroom / utility door with panel infill: Rs 350 to Rs 600 per sq ft
- Aluminium-framed glass partition door for offices: Rs 600 to Rs 1,100 per sq ft
To translate those rates into real budgets, a typical 3 ft x 7 ft (21 sq ft) sliding door lands between Rs 11,500 and Rs 20,000 fully installed, a 4 ft x 7 ft French door for a bedroom balcony runs about Rs 20,000 to Rs 34,000, and a premium slim-profile living-room door in a Gachibowli or Jubilee Hills villa can cross Rs 30,000 comfortably. Office and retail fit-outs are usually costed per running foot of the whole layout rather than door-by-door, which often brings the effective rate down. You can see finished examples of these systems in our recent projects across the city.
What Actually Drives the Aluminium Door Price
Two quotes for the same opening can differ by 40 percent, and understanding why puts you in control of the negotiation. Almost the entire spread comes down to five cost levers:
- Aluminium section brand: reputable systems such as Jindal, Hindalco or Domal cost more than unbranded local extrusions but deliver better strength, straighter lines and a cleaner finish.
- Section thickness and weight: heavier, thicker-walled profiles (measured in grams per foot) cost more but resist sagging and rattling on large sliding doors, which is critical for openings over 8 ft wide.
- Glass specification: 5mm plain glass is cheapest; toughened, frosted, tinted, laminated or double-glazed units add Rs 60 to Rs 250 per sq ft.
- Finish: mill-finish is cheapest, powder coating adds a modest premium, and anodised or wood-finish (PVDF) coatings sit at the top of the range.
- Hardware: rollers, locks, handles and multi-point locking dramatically change both the daily feel and the lifespan of a door.
That last point matters more than most buyers realise. As a hardware dealer for Taiton, Enox and Ozone, we consistently see that the cheapest failure point on a sliding door is the roller and lock, not the frame. Upgrading to graded rollers and multi-point locks adds only a few hundred rupees per door but can double the service life. When you compare fabricator quotes, ask which of these five levers each one has quietly economised on, because that is where the real difference between Rs 550 and Rs 950 per sq ft lives.
Section Brand and Weight: Where Half the Cost Lives
The aluminium extrusion is the skeleton of the door, and it is where a large share of both the price and the quality is decided. Branded systems from Jindal, Hindalco and Domal are extruded to tighter tolerances, so leaves meet cleanly, tracks stay true, and gaskets seal properly against Hyderabad's monsoon rain instead of whistling and leaking after the first wet season.
Section weight is quoted in grams per running foot, and it is the honest fabricator's fingerprint. A light 2-track sliding section might run 250 to 320 g/ft, while a robust 3-track section for a wide living-room opening can exceed 450 g/ft. Heavier sections cost more per foot but resist the sag and rattle that plague under-specified doors after a couple of years.
- Economy / local extrusion: lowest cost, thinner walls, best for small utility or bathroom doors.
- Branded standard section: the sweet spot for most homes across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
- Heavy-duty / slim premium section: for large spans, high-rises and design-led interiors where thin sightlines matter.
Always ask a fabricator to state the section brand and the grams-per-foot weight in writing. A quote that hides these two numbers is hiding where it saved money, and it is the single most common reason a cheap-looking door starts sticking or dropping within eighteen months.
Glass, Finish and Coating Options
After the section, glass and finish are the two variables that swing the final rate the most. On the glass side, your choices run from basic to premium, and each step up buys either safety, privacy or insulation:
- 5mm clear float glass: the cheapest infill, fine for internal doors away from traffic.
- Toughened glass (conforms to IS 2553): 4 to 5 times stronger, shatters into safe granules, adds roughly Rs 60 to Rs 150 per sq ft and is strongly recommended for any full-height door.
- Frosted, tinted or reflective glass: for privacy and heat control, a common pick for west-facing Hyderabad facades that take the afternoon sun.
- Laminated or double-glazed insulated units: best acoustic and thermal performance, ideal near main roads, sitting at the top of the price range.
On the finish side, powder coating in Hyderabad should meet a minimum 60-micron coating thickness for durability; anodising resists the coastal humidity of Andhra Pradesh even better, and PVDF wood-finish coatings give a convincing timber look without any of the maintenance. Matching the door finish to your aluminium windows keeps the whole elevation consistent, which is why most builders specify one coating spec across the entire facade rather than mixing finishes room by room.
Hardware That Makes or Breaks the Door
You can buy a perfect section and the wrong hardware and still end up with a door that sticks within a year. This is by far the most common complaint we are called in to fix across Hyderabad, and it is almost always avoidable. Hardware is a small fraction of the total cost but a large fraction of the day-to-day experience.
- Rollers and tracks: quality stainless or nylon rollers glide silently and carry heavy toughened-glass leaves without dropping or jamming.
- Locks and multi-point locking: for security and a solid, reassuring latch that grips at two or three points instead of one flimsy hook.
- Floor springs and closers: essential for heavy commercial swing doors so they self-close smoothly and safely.
- Handles and D-pulls: the touchpoint you feel every single day, so this is worth spending on rather than saving on.
As dealers for Taiton, Enox and Ozone, we supply and fit graded hardware rather than the loose bazaar fittings that fail early. Spending an extra Rs 500 to Rs 1,500 per door on hardware is the highest-return upgrade in the whole quote, and it is the difference between a door that still glides after ten years and one that needs a service call every monsoon.
Installation Cost and Site Factors in Hyderabad
Most Hyderabad fabricators, including Hakimi, quote an all-inclusive per-square-foot rate that already covers supply and fitting, so installation is rarely a separate line item. However, a handful of site conditions can add to the base price, and it is better to know about them before signing:
- Upper-floor or high-rise access in areas like Gachibowli, Kokapet or the Financial District may add crane or handling charges for large glass leaves.
- Old openings that need re-sizing, chipping or new lintels attract civil work costs, typically billed separately from the door itself.
- Custom sizes, curved sections, arches or non-standard RAL colours carry a fabrication premium of roughly 10 to 20 percent.
- Removal and disposal of old wooden or steel doors is sometimes charged as a small extra.
For a standard ground-floor or apartment installation within Hyderabad, Secunderabad or nearby Telangana towns such as Sangareddy, Medchal or Shamshabad, fitting is normally already built into the rates quoted above with no hidden extras. A typical single-door installation is completed in a day once the section and glass are fabricated, and a full home of doors and windows is usually scheduled over the same visit to save on repeat mobilisation.

Aluminium vs uPVC vs Wooden Doors: A Cost Comparison
Buyers in Hyderabad usually weigh aluminium against uPVC and traditional wood, so here is how the three stack up on installed cost and lifetime value in 2026:
- Aluminium: Rs 450 to Rs 1,600 per sq ft; excellent strength-to-weight, slim sightlines, 20+ year life, near-zero maintenance.
- uPVC: Rs 400 to Rs 900 per sq ft; good insulation and sealing, but bulkier frames and a tendency to discolour under Telangana's harsh summer sun.
- Solid wood: Rs 800 to Rs 3,000+ per sq ft; premium look, but warps in monsoon humidity, is vulnerable to termites, and needs regular polishing.
Aluminium usually wins on lifetime cost because it does not warp, rot or need refinishing, so a door fitted today should still be serviceable in two decades with nothing more than cleaning. It also pairs naturally with matching aluminium doors and windows for a consistent look across the whole elevation, which is exactly why most new Hyderabad villas and apartments now specify it throughout rather than mixing materials.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Aluminium Doors
Most regret in an aluminium door project traces back to a few avoidable errors made at the quoting stage, long before installation. Steering clear of these keeps both your budget and your patience intact:
- Comparing lump-sum quotes instead of itemised ones: without the section weight and glass grade written down, you are comparing prices for different products.
- Skipping toughened glass on full-height doors: plain float glass is a genuine safety hazard on any door people walk toward.
- Under-specifying the section on wide sliders: a light profile on a 10 ft opening will sag and rattle within two years.
- Accepting unbranded bazaar hardware: it is the cheapest saving on paper and the most expensive one in service calls.
- Ignoring the coating micron count: a thin sub-40-micron powder coat chalks and fades fast in Hyderabad's sun and rain.
The simplest safeguard against all five is to insist on a written specification and, where possible, to inspect a finished job first.

How to Get an Accurate Quote (and Avoid Overpaying)
Because pricing is per square foot, the fastest route to a firm number is a site measurement. Measure the door opening width and height, note the floor level, decide whether you want sliding, hinged, French or partition, and settle on glass type and finish before you call fabricators, so every quote is priced on the same brief.
A trustworthy quote should always specify the section brand, the section weight in grams per foot, the glass thickness and grade, and the hardware make, never just a lump sum. If a quote omits any of these, ask, because that is exactly where quality and long-term value are decided.
- Get at least two to three itemised quotes on the same specification, not on vague descriptions.
- Confirm whether toughened glass and powder-coat micron thickness are included in the headline rate.
- Check that hardware is branded (Taiton, Enox, Ozone) and warranted, not generic.
