Georgetown Metal Gates is Central Texas's trusted expert in iron entry doors, specializing in steel and glass doors, pivot doors, and double iron doors. We offer scrolled iron, clean modern steel and arched Mediterranean designs fitted to your opening.
Our team provides measuring, welding, glazing and hanging from our Georgetown shop, delivering a statement entrance for homes and a secure, handsome door for both residential and commercial projects. After 11 years and over 1,412 projects, from a 4 ft walk gate in a stucco side-yard wall to an 8 ft arched entry door in iron and glass, we guarantee our workmanship for 3 years on welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel.
From the frame that squares an uneven opening to the hardware that swings a heavy leaf, our team handles the job from start to finish. Serving Georgetown along with Rollingwood, West Lake Hills and Cedar Park, we build doors that look like the house was designed around them.
Call us for a free estimate and we will measure your opening, review the design with you, and quote the door in writing.
What you can hold us to

Rosalind's home in Rollingwood had a warped wood front door at the end of a gravel drive, and it let air in. We built an 8 ft arched entry door in iron and glass, fabricated in our shop, glazed with the glass set in place, and hung over a sealed threshold, in the same black as the drive gates in front of it. The estimated cost was $6,500 to $11,000 and the install typically took 1 to 2 days.
An iron entry door in Georgetown is generally estimated at $3,000 to $10,000 per door for a standard custom build and $10,000 to $20,000 per door for a large or heavily glazed one, because size, glass, hardware and design complexity move the price in Georgetown and Cedar Park. Rosalind's 8 ft arched door in Rollingwood landed in the estimated $6,500 to $11,000 range, in the middle of the scale.

Costs for iron entry doors in Georgetown are estimates, subject to change when we see the opening. Your written quote after we measure the opening sets the final price and the schedule, and door size, glass and hardware move it most.
A hinged door suits a standard opening, a double door suits a wide entry, and a pivot door suits a tall, modern opening where the leaf is heavy. Owners in West Lake Hills and Cedar Park usually choose by the width of the opening and the weight they want to carry, and Rosalind's 8 ft opening in Rollingwood called for hinges.
| Style | Best for | What to weigh |
|---|---|---|
| Hinged single | Standard openings | Hinge strength must match the leaf weight |
| Double doors | Wide entries and courtyards | Two leaves need a center latch and a flush bolt |
| Pivot | Tall, modern entries | A pivot hinge carries the weight and needs a solid header |
A door is built in the shop and fitted on site. We measure the opening at three heights, as we did for Rosalind's 8 ft opening in Rollingwood, build the frame to the smallest measurement, weld the leaf and set the glass in its channels. On hanging day we shim the frame to plumb, set the hinges or pivot, and adjust the leaf until the reveal is even all the way around. Then we test the lock, the closer and the weatherstrip before we leave, and a door like Rosalind's typically takes 1 to 2 days from first shim to final adjustment.
Across 1,412 projects the common mistakes are an opening measured only once, hinges too light for the leaf, and a finish that is not sealed against Texas weather. Egress and glass limits depend on the building and the city, so confirm the current rules with your city before you build. For weather in Round Rock, Leander and Georgetown, we use the same multi-stage wash, primer and powder coat as our gates, and we seal the bottom of the leaf so water cannot wick into the steel.
Match the door to the gates and railings around it, such as the 40 ft stair and porch railing we built for Mateo in Steiner Ranch. Our ornamental walk-through gate page covers the side entry, and our steel gate material guide compares the metals we use.
Our lead welder builds every door in the Georgetown shop and our owner reviews the fit before it is hung in Rollingwood, West Lake Hills or Cedar Park, so the leaf closes without a push or a pull. Across 1,412 projects over 11 years, the doors that stayed true were the ones with a frame built to the smallest measurement and hinges sized to the leaf.
We build doors across a 45-mile radius, including Cedar Park, Round Rock and Leander. Rollingwood and West Lake Hills owners ask for iron and glass most, often an 8 ft arched entry door like Rosalind's. Steiner Ranch and Volente owners ask about association review. The 3-year workmanship warranty follows the door. Deed restrictions come up often for Lost Creek, Serenada and Sunset Valley owners, and every town appears on our service area page.
Owners with a new door often add an iron balcony, an iron railing, or a matching wrought iron fence.
A standard custom iron entry door is estimated at $3,000 to $10,000 per door, a large or heavily glazed one at $10,000 to $20,000, and the written quote we hand you is the final price, as it was for Rosalind's 8 ft arched door in Rollingwood.
Most iron doors take an estimated 1 to 2 days on site in Georgetown or Cedar Park, and Rosalind's 8 ft arched door in Rollingwood typically took 1 to 2 days.
A pivot door turns on a hinge set near the top and bottom of the leaf instead of along its side, which carries a heavy leaf with ease.
Galvanized steel with a powder coat 3 to 5 mils thick resists rust and chipping better than a painted finish, even on a south-facing Rollingwood entry.
We set the glass in the door we fabricate, and the written quote lists the glass type before we begin.
Yes, since we weld the door, gate and railing from the same steel, we can match the finials and finish of a gate we built in Lost Creek or Georgetown.

Start to finish
We measure the opening, the grade and the swing or slide path before anything is drawn.
You approve a scaled drawing, the metal, the finish and the operator before steel is cut.
The gate is welded in our shop, then galvanized and powder coated before it leaves for your property.
We set the posts, hang the gate, wire the operator and test every photo eye and safety edge with you.
