What quote? Are you punking us?

That was my reaction. That doesn’t even include 25% GC mark-up.

Where are you shopping?

Not quite the same as your inspo doors but $5500 less expensive:

Yes, thanks, I saw those too. GC is quoting these doors with a local door manufacturer.

Here are the design drawings. Specs of the doors are in my original post. These will be interior doors separating two rooms.

That's not door specs. How are these made? True stile and rail? What type of sticking? What type of frame? You can buy off the shelf doors for a lot less custom costs. You go to a Fonterick, Upstate, Select Door type company and could very well be within reason. Bollection or Supador drop routed MDF would be a fraction of that price.

I believe ultimate vendor may be TruStile—I think it’s their FL1210 style door.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Very reasonable then if they are TruStile as you are buying a quality made to order product. The is like their name implies a true stile and rail door, much more authentic looking than a drop routed MDF door or a moulded hardboard door.

I just did an online quote for an exterior plain slab door with the appropriate weather protections to be fully exposed. No overhang or porch. A plain slab door 36 x 80 was $3000, no prep no installation (Simpson). If these are Trustile Doors, that's probably about right, I did interior trustile doors probably 14 years ago in a different house and I think they averaged $1000 each.

Ok, thank you all for the feedback. Gives me a little more piece of mind knowing that these costs are in line given the quality.

The design drawing still looks taller than 80, unless your ceilings are under 8 feet? I agree, you should be able to find something non custom since 80 x 60 is a standard opening that is a lot less expensive, if you don't want to spend that amount of money. Theres a lot of road between HD and full custom.

The price of glass has jumped recently too—our builder told us it’s up 48%. That could be part of it. It’s affecting our shower glass. 🙁

We did a huge remodel 3 yrs ago on our 1910 home. I am extremely picky about quality. These are interior french doors 48x80 with real divided 10 lights they are mid $400’s per set range currently at Lowes .They were less than that three years ago but the price you were quoted is insan for 60x80 which are upper $800’s a pair currently at HD . These are painted and look wonderful and provide really great soundproofing between the kitchen and this music room. i can’t even imagine wth the doors your GC is looking at could provide that these don’t. Somebody is really blowing smoke.

"These are interior french doors 48x80 with real divided 10 lights they are mid $400’s per set range currently at Lowes"

There is ZERO comparison for the quality of TruStile versus anything sold at Lowes. It's all about the OP's wants and needs, Quality costs. In my lumberyard days I had sold tons of both, again just depends on the buyers wants and needs.

I've replaced kitchen sinks for $6,500.00, so yeah, quite reasonable.

@millworkman As with most remodeling jobs, I'm having to make decisions about where to spend money throughout the house.

1) (A) If I am comparing the $6,500 solution and the $800 Lowe's solution, what are the real differences, once the doors are painted and hung: a) visible fit/finish; b) feel/operability when opening or closing; and/or c) if zombies bust into the home, they won't be able to kick down the TruStile doors.

1) (B) Is there a middle-ground solution?

2) TruStile looks to have a few different options for materials for this style of door: MDF / Wood / Reserve Wood---at $6,500 should this be a wood door vs MDF (quote states that it may be MDF or Wood)?

3) I'm told lead time is ~24 weeks on doors (which probably informs pricing)--any other comparable manufacturers I should ask my GC to quote the door package with?

@Jonathan S biggest deal for us was sound transfer . we created the opening on the left and widened the opening on the right to match. There is a 7 ft grand in the room , my DH is a professional pianist. We wanted to make sure that the doors looked beautiful when painted and more importantly prevented the majority of sound from the kitchen. We have a 1300 cfm hood ! Believe me when I say these doors are inexpensive, cheap if you will, only in price. They are very well made , heavy and a nice close. I didn’t need ” name brand” flashing. I needed quality. I got it. Spend the dollars on other things to make your home special. c

I am not familiar with TruStile pricing currently as I no longer do these types of doors or residential. Are there other options of course there are. Would I necessarily order them myself, not a guarantee. I would a real local lumberyard and discuss the options with them if your GC will not. I am not saying the doors Trailrunner purchased are not a good door, they will just not be of the same quality as a TruStile Door. 6 month lead time would very well chase me away as well. They do not have to be MDF, but MDF is more stable and paints better than the currently used new growth wood, plus pretty much all production run doors millwork companies are veneered now a days anyways. The choice is yours. I would look at a Simpson, Rogue Valley or Lemieux Door were it me, and would definitely look at MDF if painting. And a BIG NO on Box Stores in my opinion.
