Wrought Iron Doors have been the standard of excellence in doors for over 2,000 years, beginning in Egypt and migrating around the world. Through the years, wrought iron doors have simply been called iron doors, metal door, and steel doors.

Wrought Iron Doors became wrought iron doors when the process of smelting iron ore was modified by "wroughting," or working the impurities out of the molten metal with a hammer in the late eighteenth century. By removing impurities, the resulting "wrought iron" was less brittle and, therefore, more pliable and easier to mold into doors or other items. As a result, the terms iron doors, metal doors, steel doors and wrought iron doors are now interchangeable.

Wrought iron doors are installed to satisfy the owner's desire for beauty, for their longevity, for the safety and security that they provide, or simply as a statement of the owner's individuality.

Wrought iron doors may be installed when a home is renovated or built, or when there is a need or desire to replace wooden doors or any other type of doors. A wrought iron door will likely never have to be replaced, their maintenance is minimal, and their presence will enhance the beauty and value of the home that they adorn.
