What You Need to Know Before Buying an Iron Door

At KC Luxury Iron Door Company, we've helped thousands of homeowners across the country find the perfect iron door for their space. Every day, we provide estimates and answer customer questions, and one of the biggest topics that always comes up is price.  

When shopping for a new car or home, do you automatically go for the cheapest option? The most expensive? Or do you look for the best value – something that balances quality, durability, and price? The same logic applies to iron doors.  

That’s why, for years, we’ve offered a price match guarantee on any written estimate from a competitor. We don’t just match prices. We take the time to show you why our doors provide unmatched quality and value compared to the competition.

In many cases, we’ve even found that our competitors' “cheaper” estimates end up costing more in the long run.  Unfortunately, not every iron door company is upfront about pricing.

Here are some common tactics to watch out for when shopping for an iron door:  

Imagine purchasing a door that measures 38" x 97.5" (27.08 sq. ft.), only to find that you're being charged for 28 sq. ft. instead. Some companies round up or inflate the square footage to pad the final price. Even worse, they might not even provide a detailed written estimate, leaving you in the dark about these extra charges.  

At KC Luxury, we believe in complete transparency. Every estimate we provide is fully itemized, down to the hundredth of a square foot. That means you only pay for the door you’re actually getting.

Some companies advertise ultra-low prices per square foot but then charge extra for every customization, such as:  

• Custom Orders  

• Arch or Eyebrow Tops  

• Hardware and Handle Sets  

In many cases, the only doors available at their advertised “low” prices are standard, in-stock models. Any changes or upgrades drive up the cost, sometimes dramatically.

We include everything upfront in your estimate. No surprise fees, no last-minute add-ons. Your custom door, your choice of shape, and your preferred glass—all at a fair, transparent price.

You've probably seen claims like “Best Quality” or “12-Gauge Steel” thrown around by many iron door companies. But the truth is, quality goes far beyond just steel thickness.  

Think about it like buying a car—wouldn’t you want to know:  

• Does it squeak or wear down after just a few months?  

• What type of rust protection is used?  

• What do real customer reviews say?  

• Does the manufacturer stand behind their product?  

At KC Luxury, we take pride in building iron doors that are crafted to last a lifetime. From the materials we use to the meticulous craftsmanship, our doors are designed for both beauty and durability.  

We invite you to compare, ask questions, and even visit our showroom to see and feel the quality for yourself. With us, you’re not just buying a door—you’re investing in craftsmanship, value, and peace of mind.
