What's Included in Every Project

Every iron door project includes professional design consultation, custom fabrication, and expert installation. Your dedicated project manager coordinates everything from initial measurements to final walkthrough. Weequahic homeowners particularly appreciate our attention to local architectural details. Many homes in the area feature unique design elements that require custom work. We regularly create doors that complement everything from colonial revival styles to more contemporary designs found throughout the neighborhood. Weather sealing is critical in our area. Every door includes proper weatherstripping, threshold installation, and hardware designed to handle New Jersey’s temperature swings and moisture levels.

How long do custom iron doors take to install?

Most custom iron doors take 4-6 weeks from design approval to installation. This includes fabrication time, which varies based on complexity and current project volume. The actual installation typically takes one day for standard single doors. Double doors or more complex installations may require additional time. We schedule installation appointments that work with your schedule and provide specific timing once fabrication is complete. Weather can occasionally delay outdoor installation work, but we communicate any schedule changes immediately and work to minimize disruption.

What makes iron doors more secure than regular doors?

Iron doors are significantly more difficult to breach than standard wooden or fiberglass doors. The steel construction resists forced entry attempts that would easily compromise traditional doors. Quality iron doors feature reinforced frames, heavy-duty hinges, and locking mechanisms designed specifically for the additional weight and security requirements. The visual deterrent factor alone often prevents break-in attempts. However, security depends on proper installation. Poorly installed iron doors can actually be less secure than properly installed standard doors. This is why professional installation with reinforced frames and proper anchoring is essential.

Do iron doors rust in New Jersey weather?

Quality iron doors are treated with protective coatings and finishes designed to prevent rust and corrosion. We use powder coating and other protective treatments that create barriers against moisture and salt air. Regular maintenance helps extend the life of these protective coatings. This typically involves annual inspection and occasional touch-up work on high-wear areas like hinges and locks. The key is starting with properly treated materials and professional installation that includes appropriate sealing and drainage. Cheap iron doors or poor installation can lead to rust issues, which is why material quality and installation expertise matter significantly.

Can you match iron doors to existing home styles?

Yes, custom fabrication allows us to match virtually any architectural style. Our design team regularly works with colonial, Victorian, contemporary, and other styles common in Weequahic neighborhoods. We can incorporate specific design elements like decorative glass panels, custom scrollwork, or particular hardware finishes. Many clients bring photos of design elements they want to complement or match. The consultation process includes reviewing your home’s existing features and discussing options that enhance rather than clash with your current aesthetic. Custom work costs more than standard designs, but the result integrates seamlessly with your home.

What's the difference between pre-designed and custom iron doors?

Pre-designed doors are manufactured in standard sizes with established design patterns. They’re less expensive and typically available more quickly, usually within 2-3 weeks. Custom doors are built specifically for your opening and design preferences. This includes non-standard sizes, unique design elements, specific glass options, or particular hardware requirements. Custom work takes longer and costs more but provides exact specifications. Many clients choose pre-designed doors and add custom elements like specific glass panels or hardware finishes. This approach balances cost, timing, and personalization for most projects.

How much do iron doors typically cost installed?

Iron door costs vary significantly based on size, design complexity, and installation requirements. Basic single doors typically start around $2,500-4,000 installed, while elaborate custom double doors can exceed $8,000-12,000. Factors affecting cost include door size, glass options, hardware selection, custom design work, and installation complexity. Non-standard openings or structural modifications increase costs. We provide detailed written estimates after the initial consultation. This includes all fabrication, materials, and installation costs with no hidden fees. Most clients find the investment worthwhile considering the security, durability, and property value benefits.
