Why Iron Doors are Getting More Popular

As we have been in the iron business for the last decade or two, there has been a trend that we have been noticing... The interest in iron security doors seems to be growing. More and more people are approaching us wanting to get iron security doors for the front of there house, and, after years of building them, I think we have finally come to the conclusion about why people are deciding to go with these iron doors over wood or glass. 

Security
People, first of all, are choosing to go with iron because of security. Iron is a heavy and very durable metal, so unlike its wood or glass counterparts, it is far more difficult to break into a house with this at the front. People feel mentally and physically safer with one of our beautiful security doors between them and the rising crime rates. 

Durable/Wear Resistant
Because they are made of metal, these doors are also very durable and weather resistant, making them the most long-standing option for a home. Additionally, iron is very shock and impact resistant, so it is like likely to be damaged by the wear and tear of everyday life, as well as protecting against any strange incidents. You can have this door for years or even decades without ever having issues. 

Low Maintenance
Due to its durability, these doors are also very low maintenance, especially with powder coating. Unlike a wood door that has to be repainted or a glass door that has to be cleaned, iron doors won't wear or chip and will last looking brand new for years. This is something that will save you money and the excuses we all give to our house guests that go something like “Ya...we’re in the process of repainting that” when they come up to the door. 

Beautifully Customizable
Lastly, having an iron door is a great opportunity to add unique beauty to your home. Because iron can be shaped and molded without compromising your safety, you can have a piece of art on your front porch that describes your personality without advertising to the world that your house is easier to break into. The aesthetics and designs that we can create with these doors are immense. Whether you want a lit, open look, or more a closed and fortress-like style, we can create it, and coat it with a color that compliments your color scheme. 

Overall, the reason that people have been coming to us wanting the iron security doors is that, in a nutshell, they want beauty and security in one. And that is something that only iron can do.
