Did you know there are plenty of misconceptions floating around about iron doors and gates? From assumptions about rust to rumors of pricey upkeep, many homeowners hesitate—based on myths rather than facts. Today, we’re setting the record straight and showing why iron doors remain one of the smartest investments you can make for your home.


Myth #1: Iron Doors Rust Easily

Truth: Modern iron doors are crafted with advanced baked on powder-coated finishes that are made to withstand harsh weather and resist rust. At Allied Iron, every iron gate and door is designed to handle Arizona’s extreme heat and monsoon seasons without breaking a sweat.


Myth #2: Iron doors & Gates Require Constant Maintenance

Truth: Unlike wood, which needs regular staining or sealing, iron doors are famously low maintenance. A simple wipe-down a few times a year is usually all it takes to keep your door looking brand new. No special treatments or expensive cleaners required!


Myth #3: Iron Doors Look Too Industrial or “Old-Fashioned”

Truth: Custom ironwork has come a long way! From sleek modern lines to elegant scrollwork, you can tailor an iron door to match any home style. Whether you're dreaming of contemporary minimalism or ornate luxury vibes, iron delivers unmatched curb appeal.


Myth #4: They’re Only About Security (Not Style)
