Custom Iron Doors & Gates: From Sales Meeting to Installation
From the first sales meeting to the final installation, creating a custom iron door or gate is a detailed process. At Allied Iron, we bring together client consultation, exact-size fabrication, skilled craftsmanship, finish selection, and professional installation to create ironwork designed specifically for your home.
Our Tempe shop is where ideas become finished products. Every made-to-order piece is fabricated with the individual home, opening, architectural style, and homeowner's goals in mind.
For Phoenix-area homeowners, that personalized approach is especially important. Older Arizona homes can have openings, walls, stucco, trim, and dimensions that do not conform to today's standard prefabricated sizes. Custom fabrication allows Allied Iron to address those challenges while creating an iron door, security door, gate, or enclosure that looks intentional and fits properly.
From Sales Meeting to Finished Ironwork
The Custom Ironwork Process Starts With You
Every Allied Iron project begins with a conversation.
During the consultation, we learn about your home, your style preferences, your functional needs, and what you want your new ironwork to accomplish. Whether you're looking for a custom iron entry door, security door, privacy gate, courtyard enclosure, our team helps guide you through the available options.
We discuss:
Door or gate style
Exact opening requirements
Material options
Glass options
Security features
Privacy requirements
Powder coat colors
Hardware and lock options
Decorative details
Architectural compatibility
This consultation-driven approach helps ensure the finished piece is designed around your home rather than forcing your home to accommodate a standard product.
Exact-Size Fabrication for Arizona Homes
Custom Measurements Matter
One of the biggest advantages of custom ironwork is the ability to fabricate a product to the actual dimensions of your opening.
Many Phoenix-area homes, particularly older homes, have unique openings and architectural conditions. Walls may not be perfectly square, existing trim may vary, and previous remodeling work can create dimensions that differ from today's standard measurements.
At Allied Iron, we build each project around the measurements required for your specific application.
Our process connects the field measurement to the fabrication process in our Tempe iron shop, helping our craftsmen produce a piece designed for the actual opening.
Built to Fit — Not Pulled From a Warehouse
Allied Iron does not approach custom ironwork like a mass-produced product.
Your piece is made to order. The dimensions, design elements, finish, hardware, and other options are selected based on your project.
That means your custom iron door or gate can address both the aesthetic character of your home and the practical requirements of the opening.

From Design Concept to Fabrication
Once the project details are established, the fabrication process begins.
Inside our Tempe shop, skilled Allied Iron craftspeople turn measurements and design specifications into a finished piece of ironwork.
The process can include:
Reviewing project measurements
Confirming design specifications
Preparing materials
Cutting and fitting components
Welding and fabricating the frame
Creating decorative elements
Preparing the piece for finishing
Applying the selected finish
Inspecting the completed product
Preparing it for installation
The result is a custom-fabricated piece designed specifically for your project.
Handcrafted Ironwork Made in Tempe
Local Craftsmanship Makes a Difference
When you choose Allied Iron, you're choosing custom ironwork fabricated locally in Tempe, Arizona.
Our local fabrication process allows us to maintain close control over the project from the initial consultation through fabrication and installation.
Instead of choosing a mass-produced product from a catalog and hoping it works with your home's dimensions, you can work with a team that specializes in custom iron fabrication.
Designed for the Character of Your Home
Great ironwork should complement the architecture around it.
Whether your Phoenix home has traditional Southwest character, contemporary architecture, Spanish-inspired details, or a more transitional design, custom fabrication gives you greater control over the final appearance.
Design details can be selected to coordinate with:
Existing architectural features
Exterior colors
Stucco and masonry
Wood or metal accents
Landscaping
Glass selections
Hardware
Home entry architecture
The goal is a finished product that feels like it belongs with the home.
Finish Options for Arizona's Climate
Choose a Finish That Complements Your Home
Finish selection is an important part of the custom ironwork process.
Allied Iron offers finish options that allow homeowners to coordinate their custom iron doors, security doors, gates, and courtyard enclosures with the home's exterior.
Color and finish can dramatically change the appearance of an iron door. A darker finish can create a bold architectural statement, while a complementary color can allow the ironwork to integrate more subtly with the home's existing design.
For Arizona homeowners, finish selection is also an important consideration for long-term exterior performance.
Custom Iron Doors for Older Phoenix Homes
Solving Unique Opening and Design Challenges
Older Arizona homes often present challenges that standard products cannot easily address.
A replacement opening may have unusual dimensions. Existing stucco, drywall, wood trim, masonry, or other architectural details may affect the installation.
Custom iron fabrication gives Allied Iron the flexibility to account for these conditions.
Instead of starting with a predetermined factory size, we start with your home's actual requirements.
That approach can be especially valuable when upgrading an older Phoenix home with a new custom iron entry door or security door.

Custom iron entry doors

Each product can be designed around the home's architecture, opening dimensions, desired level of privacy, security requirements, and personal style.
