What the fuck is your door made of? If an angry kick breaks it, I promise it ain't $300

It ain't, but the handyman you pay to install it is.

Interior doors are piss easy to take down/put up unless you fucked up the frame. Why would you pay someone to do that?

Cus you're busy dealing with whatever caused the tantrum?

Having dealt with HomeDepot contractors before, the true cost of replacing the door is:

Door + installation + re-installation by some who knows what the fuck they’re doing + materials

You're not breaking a solid core door with a kick unless it's well-placed and you're trying to break it. Most of those still aren't $300 in your link.

Ah link did not work correctly for some reason? Was filtered to non-solid, interior doors with fittings and etc. but it seems to have not done so. Pricing was showing 300+ for over half of them, but that was with installation. Point being it ain’t THAT far off.
