You can choose from a single door, a double door set, or a single door with sidelites (fixed panels on the sides) and a transom (a fixed panel above the door).

You can select from a range of designs, from simple geometric patterns to intricate and ornate styles like stylized leaves or grapes. Many companies also offer custom scrollwork patterns to suit your preferences.

While classic finishes like Matte Black or Oil-Rubbed Bronze are popular, iron doors can be finished in various colors such as dark reds, greens, or browns. These finishes are applied using durable, high-quality powder coating for long-lasting color retention.

Common glass options include:

• Clear Glass: Maximizes light and visibility.

• Rain Glass: Textured and wavy, providing high privacy.

• Flemish Glass: Features an antique, swirling texture.

• Frosted/Obscure Glass: Offers high privacy while diffusing light.

You can select handles, locks, and deadbolts. Hardware finishes can be matched to your door’s color for a seamless and attractive look. While the door provides security, the hardware also enhances the overall aesthetic.

Ornamental iron doors are among the most secure residential entry options due to their robust construction, heavy-gauge steel, and specialized features.

They are made from heavy-duty 12-gauge steel, which is very difficult to breach. The frame and door slab are typically foam-filled and thermally broken, making them heavy and structurally rigid.

The hinges are heavy-duty ball-bearing hinges welded directly to the frame, preventing easy removal of the door and enhancing stability.

Many homeowners choose multipoint locking systems, which secure the door in three or more places along its height, providing maximum resistance to forced entry.

All glass panels are made of tempered safety glass, which is stronger than standard glass and shatters into small, dull pieces if broken—reducing injury risk and making it harder to pass through.
