Your front door stops being a source of worry and starts being something you’re proud to show off. No more drafts driving up your energy bills. No more wondering if your door will hold up through another Newark winter.
You get a door that fits perfectly, operates smoothly, and looks exactly like what you had in mind. The installation is clean, professional, and done right the first time.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing your family’s security and your home’s curb appeal are handled by people who actually know what they’re doing.
Iron Door Kings has been serving Newark homeowners who understand that quality matters. We work with the diverse architectural styles you see throughout the city – from the historic homes in Forest Hill to the modern developments in Downtown Newark.
What sets us apart is simple: we do both the design and the installation in-house. That means one team handles your project from start to finish. No finger-pointing between different contractors when something goes wrong.
Our team includes certified installers, master carpenters, and design professionals who’ve seen every type of front door challenge Newark homes can throw at us.
First, we come out and measure your current opening. We’ll discuss what you’re looking for – whether that’s a custom design or one of our proven styles that works well with Newark’s architecture.
Our design team creates detailed drawings so you know exactly what you’re getting. No surprises. Then our installation crew handles the removal of your old door and the professional installation of your new one.
The whole process typically takes 3-4 hours for installation day. We clean up completely and make sure everything operates perfectly before we leave. Your dedicated project manager keeps you informed at every step, so you’re never wondering what’s happening with your project.

Every Iron Door Kings installation includes professional removal of your existing door, proper framing adjustments if needed, and installation with high-quality hardware that actually works.
We handle the details Newark homeowners care about: proper weatherstripping that keeps out the cold, reinforced frames that won’t shift over time, and professional caulking that looks clean and stays sealed.
Given Newark’s weather patterns – from humid summers to freezing winters – we use materials and techniques specifically chosen to handle these conditions. That includes thermal barriers for insulation and multi-point locking systems for security that homeowners in urban areas need.
Most front door installations take 3-4 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old door, making any necessary frame adjustments, and installing your new door with proper weatherstripping and hardware.
The timeline can vary if we need to modify the opening size or if there are structural issues with the existing frame. We’ll identify any potential complications during our initial measurement visit.
We schedule installations to be completed in a single day, so you’re never left with an open doorway overnight. Our team arrives with everything needed to complete the job properly the first time.
Newark’s climate requires doors that can handle both humid summers and freezing winters without warping, cracking, or losing their seal. Iron doors with proper thermal barriers perform exceptionally well in these conditions.
Fiberglass doors with energy-efficient cores are another excellent choice, especially when properly installed with quality weatherstripping. Steel doors work well too, but require proper finishing to prevent rust in Newark’s humidity.
The key is professional installation with proper sealing and insulation. Even the best door materials won’t perform well if they’re not installed correctly for local weather conditions.
Yes, we handle custom sizing regularly, especially in Newark’s older homes where standard door sizes don’t always fit. Many historic homes in areas like Weequahic and Forest Hill have unique opening dimensions.
Our process starts with precise measurements of your existing opening. If modifications are needed, our master carpenters can adjust the framing to accommodate your new door while maintaining structural integrity.
Custom sizing does add to the timeline – typically 2-3 weeks for manufacturing plus installation day. But it ensures your door fits perfectly and operates smoothly for decades.
Front door replacement costs vary based on the door material, size, hardware choices, and installation complexity. Basic installations start around $1,200, while custom iron doors with premium hardware can range $3,000-$6,000.
Factors that affect pricing include whether your opening needs modification, the type of hardware you choose, and any additional features like sidelights or decorative glass. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs.
Given Newark’s competitive housing market where homes are selling above asking price, investing in a quality front door typically provides excellent return on investment through increased curb appeal and home value.
Absolutely. We carry Therma-Tru Energy Star-approved doors specifically designed to reduce energy costs. These doors include thermal barriers that prevent heat transfer and professional-grade weatherstripping.
Proper installation is crucial for energy efficiency. We ensure tight seals around the entire frame and use insulating techniques that prevent air leakage. This is especially important in Newark where heating and cooling costs can be significant.
Many homeowners see noticeable reductions in their energy bills after upgrading to professionally-installed energy-efficient doors. The investment typically pays for itself over time through lower utility costs.
We provide a lifetime guarantee on our installation craftsmanship. This covers the installation work, weatherstripping, hardware mounting, and frame adjustments. If any installation-related issues arise, we’ll return to fix them at no charge.
Door manufacturers provide separate warranties on the door materials themselves – typically 10-20 years depending on the material and manufacturer. We help coordinate any warranty claims that might arise.
Our warranty commitment reflects our confidence in our work and our understanding that Newark homeowners expect their front door investment to last. We stand behind both our products and our installation quality.
