How much does a car door weigh?
My car door got dented pretty badly. I need a new one and I’m considering taking it off myself. How much does an average car door weigh?
Matthew Macgugan · Updated on

Great question! Most car doors are made from steel with 24-gauge thickness and weigh between 130 and 150 pounds each.
The steel used to create car doors weighs about 1.15 pounds per square foot, and when you add impact beams, interior trim, and mechanical equipment, the weight falls somewhere in the range above. Of course, there can be variations in sizes and material type that may impact the weight of your vehicle’s door.
While a car door isn’t insanely heavy, see if a friend or family member can help. Having two sets of hands will definitely help and prevent any injuries when removing the door.
If you end up replacing the car door yourself, consider adding extra
car insurance
to your policy to protect your hard work. The Jerry
