Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What makes WROUGHT IRON SHOP doors different from others?
    Other iron doors are usually thin and lightweight 1.5mm to 1.9mm, come without glass, and have a fibreglass or aluminium threshold which is caulked between the door jams and can lead to water infiltration.
    All of the LOYAL IRON DOORS by WROUGHT IRON SHOP:
    • have 50mm thick door panels providing a stronger, safer door.
    • have 3mm frames & hinge stiles, making our doors nearly 30% stronger than other cheaply made wrought iron doors.
    • come with impact tested, triple-paned, laminated, insulated low-E glass in clear or patterned options.
    • have foam-filled frames and door panels for a superior R-factor which helps lower your heating and cooling costs.
    • have a hammered iron threshold built in, providing extra protection from water infiltration and keeping the door square in the opening.
    • They are safer and block out more of the outside noise.
    • our superior hinges are a post-in-cap ball bearing hinge. Grease fittings on our door hinges keep your doors operating as easily as the day it was installed.
    • "You get what you pay for" has never been truer than when purchasing a wrought iron door. When it comes to safety, quality, service and value, intelligent homeowners recognise only one name – LOYAL IRON DOORS by WROUGHT IRON SHOP.
  2. I heard iron doors sometimes rust. Do yours?
    Other door companies apply primer hoping to prevent rust. WROUGHT IRON SHOP DOORS first use pure zinc galvanising before our catalytic primer is applied making our doors the most rust-resistant iron doors available! Our limited warranty backs up our commitment to quality, 2 years on the finish and a 10 year warranty on operation - twice the industry standard!
  3. What are the benefits of a wrought iron door over a timber door?
    Timber doors need extensive maintenance. To prevent voiding your warranty on a timber door, you must seal on six sides. This means that the top, underneath the bottom weather strip, and behind the hinges must be sealed or your door is apt to warp, or worse, it will rot. Timber doors must be stained and sealed every few years to prevent rotting and keep them looking good. Any door over eight feet tall probably does not have a warranty. Meanwhile WROUGHT IRON SHOP DOORS come finished and have maximum corrosion protection. All of our doors come with a 10-year warranty.
  4. Can I put one of your doors in my existing home?
    Yes! Our doors can be made to order. We can make our doors to the exact dimension of your existing door opening.
  5. How do I clean the glass?
    Our glass panels swing open! Swinging the panels open provides complete access to both sides of the glass for cleaning. It also means you can open the glass panels anytime for ventilation or conversation without ever unlocking your secure WROUGHT IRON SHOP DOORS.
  6. What shape doors can you make and what iron patterns are available?
    We have 13 different “stock” doors in various widths/heights and patterns. Or we can custom design a door just for you! We can make anything... rectangles, segments, full radius, elliptical, etc. The iron patterns can also be made to your specifications. You are only limited by your imagination.
  7. How long does it take to get my door made?
    If you order one of our doors that are in inventory we can install in a matter of days. If you custom order a special door, it will take approximately 10-14 weeks. Delivery and installation times sometime vary based on holidays.
  8. Are the doors heavy and hard to open?
    NO - because of our special ball–bearing hinges these doors are easy to open and close. Some homeowners claim they are easier than their old timber doors!
  9. What about door handles and locks?
    We offer a wide selection of magnificent iron door handles in varying styles. All of them fit our doors perfectly and are included in the price of your door.
  10. What about the glass?
    Included in the price! (not true with other companies) Our doors come with impact tested 1” triple-paned laminated insulated low-E glass in clear or patterned options.
  11. Do these doors come with a warranty?
    Absolutely! In fact, our 2/10 warranty is the best of any iron door manufacturer. A limited 10 year warranty on parts and 2 year warranty on the finish.
  12. What if I want balustrading or gates to match my door?
