Your front door stops being your weakest link. Instead of worrying about break-ins through flimsy entry points, you get multi-point locking systems that engage at several points along the frame. No more kicking in, no more prying open.
Energy bills drop because these doors actually seal properly. New Jersey’s brutal summers and freezing winters stay where they belong—outside. The thermal break technology and weatherstripping create a barrier that cheap doors simply can’t match.
You stop dealing with maintenance headaches. While your neighbors repaint and refinish their wooden doors every few years, you’re done. These doors handle weather, wear, and time without the constant upkeep that eats into your weekends and wallet.
We’ve been serving Pleasantdale and surrounding New Jersey communities with a straightforward approach: superior craftsmanship, honest service, and doors that perform exactly as promised. We handle everything in-house—design, project management, and installation—so you’re not dealing with multiple contractors or finger-pointing when something needs attention.
Our team understands New Jersey’s unique challenges. The humidity that warps wooden doors, the freeze-thaw cycles that crack inferior materials, and the security concerns that keep homeowners up at night. We’ve built our reputation on solving these problems with doors designed specifically for this climate and these conditions.
Every project gets a dedicated project manager who stays with you from initial consultation through final installation. No handoffs, no confusion, just clear communication and reliable follow-through.
We start with an in-home consultation where we assess your current door, measure the opening, and discuss your security and style preferences. This isn’t a high-pressure sales pitch—it’s a technical evaluation to determine exactly what your home needs.
Our design team creates detailed plans based on your requirements, whether you choose from our extensive selection of pre-designed doors or opt for a completely custom solution. You see exactly what you’re getting before any work begins, with detailed drawings and specifications.
Installation happens when it works for your schedule. Our professional installers handle everything from removing your old door to ensuring perfect fit, proper weatherproofing, and smooth operation. We clean up completely, test all functions, and walk you through your new door’s features before we consider the job complete.

Every front door installation includes professional measurement, custom fitting to your existing opening, and complete weatherproofing. The multi-point locking system, reinforced hinges, and security features come standard—not as expensive add-ons.
Pleasantdale homeowners face specific challenges with the area’s variable weather patterns and security concerns. Our doors address these directly with corrosion-resistant finishes that handle New Jersey’s humidity, thermal barriers that manage temperature extremes, and security features designed for suburban settings where break-in attempts often target front entries.
You get energy-efficient glass options, custom hardware selections, and finish choices that complement your home’s architecture. The installation includes proper insulation, weatherstripping, and threshold work to ensure your door performs as designed from day one. We handle all the details that separate professional installation from DIY disasters.
Most front door installations take 4-6 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old door, preparing the opening if needed, installing the new door with proper weatherproofing, and testing all functions.
The timeline can extend if we’re modifying the opening size or dealing with structural issues, but we identify these factors during our initial consultation. We schedule installations when it’s convenient for you and complete the work in a single visit whenever possible.
Complex custom installations or doors requiring significant opening modifications might take a full day, but standard replacements are typically finished by afternoon. We don’t leave you with an incomplete installation or temporary barriers.
Iron doors handle New Jersey’s climate extremes without the warping, cracking, or deterioration common with other materials. The powder-coat finishes resist humidity, salt air, and temperature fluctuations that damage wooden doors within a few years.
Thermal break technology prevents the door itself from conducting heat or cold, while proper weatherstripping creates an effective seal against drafts. This combination keeps your energy bills lower and your home more comfortable year-round.
Unlike fiberglass doors that can crack in extreme cold or wooden doors that expand and contract with humidity changes, iron doors maintain their fit and function regardless of weather conditions. They’re specifically engineered for climates like New Jersey’s where doors face constant temperature and moisture variations.
Custom front door pricing depends on size, design complexity, glass options, and hardware selections. Basic custom iron doors typically start around $3,000-4,000 installed, while elaborate designs with extensive glasswork and premium hardware can reach $8,000-12,000.
The investment makes sense when you consider that quality iron doors often last 30+ years with minimal maintenance, while cheaper alternatives need replacement or major repairs within 10-15 years. You’re also adding significant value to your home—steel and iron entry doors consistently rank among the highest-return home improvements.
We provide detailed quotes that break down all costs upfront, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges, no hidden fees, and no pressure to add expensive options you don’t need.
Yes, we regularly work with older homes that have non-standard openings, settling issues, or architectural quirks that complicate door installation. Our experience with New Jersey’s diverse housing stock means we know how to handle these challenges properly.
Older homes often require opening modifications, frame reinforcement, or custom sizing to accommodate modern security doors. We assess these needs during our consultation and factor any necessary work into our quote, so you know the complete scope and cost upfront.
The key is proper measurement and preparation. We take detailed measurements, check for square and level, and identify any structural work needed before ordering your door. This prevents delays and ensures your new door fits perfectly and operates smoothly for years to come.
Iron doors require minimal maintenance compared to other door materials. The powder-coat finish is designed to resist New Jersey’s humidity, temperature swings, and weather exposure without regular repainting or refinishing.
Basic maintenance involves occasional cleaning with mild soap and water, lubricating hinges and locks annually, and checking weatherstripping for wear. This takes maybe 30 minutes per year, compared to the hours of scraping, sanding, and repainting that wooden doors require.
The finish is engineered to last decades without touch-ups. If damage does occur from impact or extreme wear, most issues can be addressed with simple touch-up procedures rather than complete refinishing. This makes iron doors particularly practical for busy homeowners who want security and beauty without constant upkeep.
Every door includes multi-point locking systems that engage at several points along the frame, making kick-in attempts virtually impossible. The reinforced hinges use security pins that can’t be removed from outside, and built-in lock guards prevent common tampering methods.
The door construction itself provides security—thick steel construction, reinforced frames, and impact-resistant glass options that meet security standards. These aren’t add-on features you pay extra for; they’re integral to how we build every door.
We also include deadbolt systems rated for high-security applications and can accommodate smart lock integration if you want keyless entry or remote access capabilities. The goal is providing real security that works in suburban settings where break-in attempts often target front doors as the most obvious entry point.
