Iron doors offer endless customization to match your vision, from elegant traditional designs with intricate details to sleek, modern looks. Tailor them perfectly with options like custom sizes, different glass styles (clear, frosted, or textured), elaborate scrollwork, premium hardware choices, and a range of finishes. Add personal touches such as monograms, nature-themed patterns, or specific door swing directions for a truly unique entryway.
At TurnKey Ironworks, “custom” isn’t a marketing word—it describes how every door is built:
The end result is a single-origin door with a paper trail: which installer measured it, who welded it, what day it was finished, and what finish system was used. That level of traceability is part of why iron doors retain value.
Openings from 30″ to 96″ for single doors, 60″ to 120″ for double doors, and up to 144″ for pivot doors. Structural openings beyond those require engineered hardware, which we’ll spec during the consultation.
80″, 84″, 96″, 108″, and 120″ are the most common. Non-standard heights are no problem for custom fabrication—we simply cut the stock to your measurement.
Classic S-curves, C-scrolls, and leaf motifs. Best for Greek Revival, Italianate, Victorian, and most historic New Orleans architecture.
Chevrons, rectilinear grids, sunbursts, and stepped patterns. Good match for 1920s-1940s architecture, including some of the Lakeview and Broadmoor homes.
Clean grid patterns, horizontal banding, single vertical divider, or completely unembellished flat panels. Pairs with modern new builds and mid-century renovations.
Laser-cut or hand-forged family initials, house numbers, or custom monograms set into the door or transom. This is one of the most popular personalization options.
The finish is what most visitors notice first.
Options include:
Finishes are applied over zinc-rich primer and either powder-coated (more durable) or hand-finished (more nuanced appearance). We’ll help you weigh the trade-offs during design.
Hardware is the jewelry of the door:
For homes in coastal parishes or those seeking insurance discounts, we can engineer iron doors to meet Miami-Dade HVHZ ratings with reinforced frames, laminated glass, and approved hardware.
Required on commercial properties and second-story residential egress.
Custom pet door inserts can be built into the lower panel at your specified size. We use insulated, weather-sealed inserts.
Accessible thresholds, lever hardware, and proper operating force specifications for ADA-regulated applications.
Retractable or fixed screens behind iron gates for homes that want ventilation with insect protection.
Every door we build is designed around your home, your style, and your budget. Schedule a free consultation to get started on your custom design.
Yes. Every TurnKey Ironworks door is custom-built to your opening size, shape, scrollwork, glass, hardware, and finish. There are no “stock” doors—each one is fabricated from raw steel stock to your specifications.
Typical fabrication is four to eight weeks after design approval, depending on complexity. Intricate scrollwork, specialty glass, and custom-forged hardware can extend the timeline.
Absolutely. Most of our clients bring reference photos from magazines, Pinterest, or architectural styles they admire. We translate those references into a drawing that fits your specific opening.
Baked-on powder coat in satin or matte finishes holds up best long-term. Hand-rubbed patinas look stunning but need more frequent touch-ups in high-humidity environments.
Yes—we recommend it. Matching finish, scrollwork, and hardware across a property creates a cohesive exterior. If you have existing TurnKey Ironworks fencing or railings, we can match exactly.
Yes, custom iron doors are significantly more expensive than big-box steel doors at purchase. However, they last three to five times longer and carry much higher resale value, which makes them more economical per year of ownership.
