Your front door stops being a maintenance headache. No more repainting every few years or dealing with warped wood that won’t close properly.
You get security that actually protects your family, not just the appearance of security. Iron doors don’t just look strong—they are strong, with multi-point locking systems and materials that won’t give way to weather or wear.
Your energy bills drop because properly installed doors with thermal breaks keep your conditioned air where it belongs. And your home value increases immediately with a custom entrance that neighbors notice for all the right reasons.
We’ve been serving Middlesex County homeowners who want doors that work as hard as they do. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s exactly why our doors are still working perfectly twenty years later.
Our process is straightforward: in-house design team, dedicated project manager, professional installation crew. No subcontractors, no surprises, no cutting corners. We handle everything from measuring your opening to the final adjustment, because details matter when you’re installing something this heavy and this permanent.
Iselin homeowners choose us because we understand what matters here—quality that lasts through New Jersey winters, security that works, and service that doesn’t disappear after the check clears.
First, we measure everything twice. Your existing frame, the opening, the swing clearance. We take exact measurements because iron doors don’t have room for error—they’re heavy, they’re permanent, and they need to fit perfectly from day one.
Next, we fabricate your door using materials that matter: high-grade steel, quality hardware, proper thermal breaks. This takes 4-8 weeks depending on your design, but it’s time well spent. Rush jobs in this business create problems that last decades.
Installation day, our crew handles the heavy lifting—literally. These doors weigh significantly more than wood or fiberglass, so we bring the right equipment and the experience to set everything level, square, and secure. We test the operation, adjust the hardware, and make sure your investment works exactly as intended.

You get a door built specifically for your opening, not adjusted to fit. Custom sizing, hardware selection, finish options, glass choices if you want them. We work with everything from traditional designs that complement colonial architecture to contemporary styles for modern homes.
Installation includes proper frame preparation, weatherstripping that actually seals, and hardware adjustment so everything operates smoothly. We handle the permits, coordinate with any other trades if needed, and clean up completely when we’re done.
In Iselin’s climate, proper installation matters even more. We see temperature swings, humidity changes, and weather that tests every seal and joint. Our installation accounts for seasonal movement, proper drainage, and long-term performance. Your door will work as well in year fifteen as it does on installation day.
Iron doors last 20+ years with minimal maintenance, while wood doors typically need major refinishing or replacement every 8-12 years. The difference comes down to materials and weather resistance.
Wood expands, contracts, and absorbs moisture, leading to warping, rot, and paint failure. Iron doors are dimensionally stable and resist weather damage. You might want to refresh the finish every 5-7 years, but the door itself stays structurally sound for decades.
The upfront investment is higher, but when you factor in repainting, repair costs, and eventual replacement, iron doors cost less over their lifetime. Plus, they maintain your home’s security and energy efficiency consistently, rather than degrading over time.
Installation typically takes one full day for a standard single door, two days for double doors or complex configurations. The actual door fabrication takes 4-8 weeks before installation.
We schedule installation when your door is ready, not before. Rushing this process creates problems—doors that don’t seal properly, hardware that binds, or security issues. We’d rather take the time to do it right than create callbacks.
Weather can affect scheduling since we need dry conditions for proper sealing and curing. We’ll give you advance notice and work around your schedule, but we won’t compromise the installation quality to meet an arbitrary deadline.
Modern iron doors with thermal breaks actually improve energy efficiency compared to older wood doors. The thermal break prevents heat transfer through the metal, while quality weatherstripping eliminates air leaks.
The key is proper installation and quality construction. Cheap iron doors without thermal breaks will conduct heat and cold directly. Our doors use insulated cores and thermal barriers that meet or exceed energy codes.
Many customers see lower utility bills after installation because their old doors were drafty or poorly sealed. Iron doors maintain consistent indoor temperatures better than wood doors that warp or develop gaps over time.
Yes, we design doors to complement your home’s existing style, whether traditional, contemporary, or somewhere between. Iron work is incredibly versatile—we can create clean lines for modern homes or ornate details for classical architecture.
We start with your home’s proportions, existing hardware finishes, and architectural details. Then we design door elements that enhance rather than compete with your home’s character. The goal is a door that looks like it was always meant to be there.
We can also replicate or complement existing ironwork if you have railings, gates, or other metal elements. Consistency in design details makes the biggest difference in how professional the finished project looks.
We warranty our doors for twenty years and stand behind our installation work. If there’s a problem with materials or workmanship, we fix it at no charge. That’s not just a promise—it’s how we’ve built our reputation in Middlesex County.
Most issues, if they occur, happen in the first few months and are usually minor adjustments. Doors settle, hardware may need fine-tuning, or seasonal changes might require weatherstripping adjustment. We handle these service calls promptly.
For major problems, we have the fabrication capability to remake components or even entire doors if necessary. We’re not going anywhere, and neither are our customers, so we make sure every installation meets our standards long-term.
We handle permit applications when required and coordinate any necessary inspections. Most door replacements in existing openings don’t require permits, but structural changes or new openings do.
We know Iselin’s building requirements and work with local inspectors regularly. If permits are needed, we pull them, schedule inspections, and ensure everything meets code before we consider the job complete.
This includes proper flashing, structural support for heavier doors, and egress requirements if applicable. We take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to navigate the process yourself, and we guarantee all work meets local building standards.
