How Much Does a Custom Iron Door Cost in Dallas?

Iron Door Cost by Type (Dallas, 2026)

A single custom iron entry door in Dallas runs $3,500–$10,000+, with double doors and multi-panel bifolds higher. An entry door is the handshake of a home — the first thing guests and buyers see — and a custom iron door delivers curb appeal, security and durability in one upgrade. This guide breaks the pricing down by door type, explains exactly what moves the number, and clears up the most common misconception about “iron vs. steel.”

Breaking down the numbers

A single entry door at $3,500–$10,000+ is the most common project; where you land depends on size, the amount of glass and how ornate the scrollwork is. Double doors ($6,000–$20,000) cover a grand, wide entry with a matched pair and typically sidelights. Bifold doors ($5,000–$25,000) are the multi-panel units that open a wall to a patio, priced by the number and size of panels. Operable glass — the panes behind the ironwork that swing open for ventilation — is a popular option that varies with configuration. Because these are custom builds, the range is real: a modest single door and a grand double-with-transom are genuinely different projects.

Iron vs. steel — the misconception

Most buyers think they’re choosing between “wrought iron” and “steel.” In practice, we build custom iron doors on a heavy-gauge (10-gauge) steel frame — you get the strength and stability of steel with the look of iron. So the real decision isn’t iron versus steel; it’s a style decision, from ornate traditional scrollwork to clean contemporary lines, all on the same strong steel structure.

Why an iron door is worth it

Beyond the look, an iron-on-steel door resists forced entry far better than a hollow builder door, and the operable glass lets you ventilate securely. It’s finished to handle the Texas sun and storms and needs little maintenance — occasional cleaning and, over many years, a finish touch-up. Set against a lifetime of curb appeal and added security, it’s one of the higher-return exterior upgrades a DFW home can make. And because we run one in-house metal shop, the door can be matched to your stair railings and interior ironwork.

The FJR difference

We publish these ranges up front and fabricate in-house, so one accountable team designs, builds and installs — with a 1-year workmanship warranty. Explore custom iron & steel doors and iron entry doors, or see iron doors in McKinney and iron doors in Plano.

Iron door styles to consider

Because we build on a steel frame, “iron door” is really a family of styles. Traditional scrollwork brings old-world, ornate character to classic and Mediterranean homes. Modern flat-bar designs — clean horizontal or vertical lines with large glass — suit contemporary and transitional builds. Double doors with a transom and sidelights make a grand statement on a wide entry, while bifold panels open a wall to a patio for indoor-outdoor living. Finishes range from classic matte black to bronze and custom powder-coat colors, and the glass can be clear, low-E, or textured for privacy. We’ll help you match the style to your home’s architecture at the consultation.

Installation & what to expect

After the free consultation and design approval, we fabricate your door in-house and schedule a careful installation. Because these doors are heavy and precise, proper framing and a level, plumb install are critical to smooth operation for years — which is exactly why an in-house crew that does this daily matters. Most single-door installations are completed quickly once the door is fabricated; we protect the entry and surrounding finishes throughout and leave you with a door that operates smoothly and seals properly against Texas weather.
