Custom Steel Doors Dallas | Iron Entry & Pivot Doors

The front door sets the tone for the whole house.

For Dallas homeowners, builders, and designers, we forge custom steel and iron doors: oversized pivots, classic and modern entry doors, and interior passage doors — each drawn against your elevations, fabricated at our own anvils, and installed by our crew. Insulated low-E glazing keeps a steel door comfortable in a Texas summer. D'Hierro is a Dallas iron and steel door manufacturer — every door is drawn, forged, and finished in our own shop, then installed by our crew.

Signature designs

Entry doors designed as part of the architecture.

Monumental pivots, steel-and-glass entries, arched compositions, and forged statement doors — each design establishes the character of the approach before the door ever opens.

Tall ribbed bronze pivot entry door set into a pale limestone residence — Ribbed bronze **Fine vertical ribs give a monumental bronze pivot depth, shadow, and a tailored architectural rhythm.**

Warm bronze double entry doors with full-height fluted glass panels — Fluted glass **Warm bronze and fluted glass create privacy, luminosity, and a refined sense of arrival.**

Matte-black pivot door with an offset vertical glass reveal in a concrete entry — Offset reveal **A narrow glass reveal cuts through a broad solid pivot slab with precise asymmetry.**

Full-arch steel-and-glass double entry doors in a limestone facade — Full arch **Slim steel profiles and a radial transom bring clarity and scale to a full Roman arch.**

Dark-bronze double entry doors with elongated geometric steel detailing — Geometric Deco **Nested rectangular lines give a glass entry a confident Deco rhythm without visual weight.**

Glass pivot entry door with a sculptural blackened-steel forged screen — Forged screen **Broad forged ribbons turn a glass pivot into a one-of-a-kind sculptural entrance.**

Oversized bronze-and-glass double entry doors with broad horizontal divisions — Broad grid **A low-count horizontal grid keeps an oversized bronze entry open, warm, and disciplined.**

What shapes the budget

What changes the price of a custom steel door.

There is no honest universal square-foot price for a finished custom entry. Two doors with the same outside dimensions can require different structures, glass, hardware, finish work, removal, and installation.

D’Hierro prices the complete project after reviewing the opening and design direction. These are the variables that should be visible in that conversation.

01

Opening and configuration

Overall size, single or double leaves, sidelights, transoms, arches, and whether the door is hinged or pivoting establish the basic assembly.

02

Steel and glass design

Profile depth, true divided-light pattern, forged ornament, insulated glass make-up, safety treatment, and specialty privacy glass all change the work.

03

Hardware and operation

Pivots, hinges, closers, multi-point locks, pulls, access control, and the weight of an oversized leaf must be coordinated—not added after the frame is drawn.

04

Finish and exposure

Exterior exposure, color matching, hand-applied effects, and the approved coating or finish system determine preparation and finishing steps.

05

Existing conditions

A clean new-construction opening differs from removing an old door inside finished stone, plaster, flooring, or millwork. Protection and repair scope belong in the quote.

06

Delivery and installation

Leaf weight, access, stairs, lifts, temporary protection, weather closure, and site phasing affect how the finished door reaches the opening and is set safely.

Which project path are you on?

Retrofit

Replacing an existing front door

Start with straight-on photographs, opening dimensions, wall and threshold depth, surrounding finish materials, and any parts of the existing frame that must remain.

New construction

Coordinating a new opening

Bring plans and elevations before the rough opening is final. Header, wall build-up, threshold, drainage, floor height, swing, and adjacent finishes can then be coordinated around the door.

Trade

Working from an architect’s set

Send the door schedule, enlarged elevations, wall sections, hardware intent, glass and performance criteria, finish direction, and the project’s submittal requirements.

Quote-ready

Send enough to price the same door you have in mind.

Approximate information is fine for the first pass. Final dimensions are field-verified and resolved in shop drawings before fabrication.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

How long does a custom iron door take?

Most residential entry and pivot doors run roughly 10–16 weeks from approved shop drawings, depending on size, glazing, and finish. We give you a firm window before fabrication begins.

Are steel doors energy-efficient in Texas?

Yes — we specify insulated low-E glazing and thermally-considered profiles so a steel-and-glass door performs in the DFW climate without sacrificing slim sightlines.

Can you match a specific style or a door I’ve seen?

We work from your elevations, a sketch, or a reference image and develop full shop drawings for sign-off before we forge anything.

Do you install, or just fabricate?

Both. Doors are forged and finished in our Dallas shop and installed by the D’Hierro crew — one accountable team from drawing to hinge.
