Project Story
Custom Double Iron Entry Door Replacement
This dramatic entrance transformation in Pleasanton, CA replaced aging double wood doors with custom double iron entry doors designed for improved security, durability and dependable operation. AMG Doors & Windows transformed this Alameda County home's entrance by replacing the original double wood doors with a custom double iron entry-door system.
1. Project Overview
The service, brand, and reason for replacement
This dramatic entrance transformation in Pleasanton, CA replaced aging double wood doors with custom double iron entry doors designed for improved security, durability and dependable operation. AMG Doors & Windows transformed this Alameda County home's entrance by replacing the original double wood doors with a custom double iron entry-door system.
2. Homeowner Pain Points
What the homeowner was dealing with
The original double wood entry doors had reached the point where the Pleasanton homeowner wanted a more secure and dependable alternative. Natural wood can expand, contract and move as temperature and moisture conditions change, sometimes making an older door increasingly difficult to open, close or lock correctly. The homeowner's priorities included increased security, dependable everyday operation and a durable entrance that would not experience the same swelling, warping or alignment problems commonly associated with aging wood doors.
3. AMG Solution
What AMG Doors & Windows installed
The original double doors were carefully removed and replaced with a fitted double iron entry system. The completed doors feature expansive glass panels with decorative iron scrollwork, allowing natural light into the entry while maintaining the substantial appearance and strength of an iron door. The dark door finish creates a strong contrast against the light exterior of the home, and retaining the existing sidelights and transom windows allows the upgraded entrance to remain bright and visually balanced.
Local Insight
Iron Entry Door Installation Photos
This double entry-door installation shows how a custom iron entry system changes the character of a Pleasanton, CA entrance while keeping the surrounding sidelights and transom windows in place.
What We Installed
What AMG Doors & Windows installed
AMG Doors & Windows supplied and installed a custom double iron entry-door system with tall glass panels and decorative iron scrollwork, finished dark on both the exterior and interior.
4. Installation Details
How AMG installed this front door
The existing double wood doors were removed, the opening was measured and evaluated, and the replacement iron frame and doors were fitted so the pair aligns, latches and operates dependably. Careful fitting matters on any double entry-door installation, where both leaves must meet correctly at the astragal.
5. Final Result
The improvement for the homeowner
The finished entrance reads as a single dramatic focal point: dark decorative iron entry doors against a light exterior, with daylight still filling the entry through the door glass, sidelights and transom.
Why we recommended this product:
Custom iron entry doors appeal to Pleasanton and Tri-Valley homeowners who want a secure front door replacement with real visual presence. Iron does not swell or warp the way natural wood can, so a properly installed and finished iron door stays warp-resistant and low-maintenance when cared for as the manufacturer recommends — a practical combination for professional iron-door installation on Alameda County homes.

Frequently Asked
Questions about this project
Are iron entry doors more resistant to warping than wood doors?+
Iron doors do not swell, shrink or warp in the same manner as natural wood, making them an attractive option for homeowners seeking dependable operation and lower maintenance.
Do iron doors provide additional security?+
Their substantial metal construction can provide a strong and secure entrance when combined with appropriate frames, hinges, locks and professional installation.
Are custom iron doors maintenance-free?+
No exterior door is completely maintenance-free. However, properly finished iron doors typically require less routine maintenance than aging natural-wood doors. Owners should follow the manufacturer's cleaning and finish-care requirements.
Can double wood doors be replaced with double iron doors?+
Yes. The existing opening must be carefully measured and evaluated so the replacement frame and doors fit correctly and operate properly.
Does AMG Doors & Windows install iron doors?+
Yes. AMG Doors & Windows provides professional entry-door replacement and installation services throughout its San Francisco Bay Area service territory.
How much does a custom double iron entry door cost in the Bay Area?+
Custom iron entry doors are priced by size, glass style, scrollwork design, finish and the amount of framing work the opening needs, so a double iron door typically costs more than a standard single fiberglass or steel entry door. AMG Doors & Windows provides written pricing after an in-home measurement, and financing is available. See the front door cost guide for full entry-door pricing ranges.
What glass and scrollwork options are available on iron entry doors?+
Iron entry doors can be built with clear, obscure, rain or textured glass behind hand-formed scrollwork, and many designs include operable glass panels for ventilation. This Bay Area project used tall obscure glass panels with a flowing scroll pattern for daylight and privacy at the same time.
How long does a double iron entry door installation take?+
Most double iron entry-door installations are completed in one day once the custom doors arrive. Custom fabrication lead time is discussed during the in-home consultation, since iron doors are built to the measurements of your specific opening.
Can iron entry doors be installed without replacing sidelights and transoms?+
Yes. On this project the existing sidelights and arched transom were kept in place and only the double doors and frame were replaced, which keeps the entry bright and controls the overall project cost.
