Albuquerque weather asks a lot of your front entry. One month you are dealing with blowing dust and high wind, the next you are trying to keep the house cool while a monsoon storm rolls through in minutes. A basic screen door from a big box store was never built for that kind of swing. Iron Design builds storm and screen doors that are made for this city, not just installed in it.
We are a local metal fabrication team based right here in Albuquerque, and storm and screen doors are one of the products we get asked about most. Homeowners want fresh air on a cool evening, protection from summer storms, and a door that actually deters anyone who should not be walking through it. A custom iron storm door does all three at once.
Most prefabricated storm doors are made from thin aluminum and plastic mesh. They work fine in a showroom, but they do not hold up well once real New Mexico weather gets involved.
Wind and dust storms. Springtime wind in Albuquerque can hit hard enough to bend a cheap frame or tear a screen loose within a season.
Sudden monsoon rain. Summer storms show up fast and heavy. A well built storm door keeps water and debris out while still letting your main door stay open for airflow.
Intense sun exposure. Our high desert sun fades and warps low grade vinyl and plastic components faster than most people expect.
Security concerns. A screen door with no real strength behind it is not much of a barrier. Iron framing changes that completely.
A custom iron door solves all four issues in one product, and it is built to last for decades rather than a few seasons.
This is where Iron Design does things differently. Instead of selling you a mass produced door in a handful of stock sizes, we design and fabricate your storm or screen door to fit your exact opening, your home’s style, and how you actually use your front or back entry.
Security first construction. Every door is built on a solid iron frame, so it acts as a real second layer of protection at your entry, not just a mesh screen that anyone could push through.
Custom patterns and scrollwork. From simple clean lines to detailed decorative scroll designs, your door can match the character of your home instead of looking like an afterthought.
Built for airflow. We use durable mesh and screening that lets air move freely through the house while keeping insects, dust, and debris outside.
Finishes that hold up. Powder coated and weather resistant finishes are chosen specifically to handle Albuquerque sun, heat, and seasonal storms without chipping or fading quickly.
Made to measure. Every door is fabricated for your specific doorway, so you get a tight, clean fit with no gaps for wind or bugs to sneak through.
Front entry doors. A strong first impression paired with real security right where most break ins are attempted.
Back and side doors. Often overlooked, but just as important for keeping a home secure while still allowing ventilation.
Patio and porch entries. Great for homeowners who love having doors open in the evening but still want a barrier between the house and the outdoors.
Rental and investment properties. Durable, low maintenance doors that hold up to regular use without constant repairs or replacements.
We are not a national franchise shipping in generic parts. Iron Design is a local metal fabrication company that has spent years building custom ironwork for homes across Albuquerque, including window guards, double gates, fencing and topper panels, porch enclosures, and sliding door security. Storm and screen doors are part of that same commitment to work that is strong, custom fit, and built to last in our climate.
When you call us, you are talking directly with the team that will design, build, and install your door, not a call center reading from a script.
What is the difference between a storm door and a security screen door?
A storm door is mainly built to handle weather, blocking wind, rain, and dust while letting light and air through. A security screen door adds a layer of protection against intrusion thanks to its solid iron frame. Iron Design builds doors that combine both jobs into one product.
How much do custom iron storm doors cost in Albuquerque?
Pricing depends on the size of your opening, the design complexity, and the finish you choose. Because every door is custom built, we provide a free, no obligation quote after a quick consultation or site visit.
Can a screen door actually improve my home’s security?
Yes. A screen door built on a solid iron frame is a real physical barrier, unlike thin aluminum and mesh versions. It adds meaningful resistance at an entry point while still letting your home breathe.
How long does installation take?
Most storm and screen door installations are completed in a single visit once the door has been fabricated. The design and build process typically takes longer than the installation itself, since each door is made to order.
Can I choose the design, pattern, and color of my door?
Absolutely. Every door is custom designed around your preferences, from simple modern lines to detailed decorative ironwork, finished in a color and coating that matches your home.
