Break-and-enters and burglaries are two of the most common crimes and can occur at any time of the day or night. With this type of crime on the rise, the physical security of your windows, doors, outdoor fencing and entrance gates is vital. The advantages of wrought iron, including wrought iron security front doors, range from security and durability to other factors like being low maintenance, providing airflow and privacy, and enhancing street appeal with their stylish aesthetics.
The simple fact that wrought iron is so robust also adds an imposing look that will potentially stop would-be thieves in their tracks as they move on to an easier target. Practically nothing can penetrate solid iron, and there is virtually no way tools or bare hands can manipulate it. Custom-made wrought iron security screen doors also allow you to add personalised character and beauty to your home’s design, combining style, substance and security in equal measure. They are the perfect combination of form, function and fashionability, whether you’re after a contemporary design or something more timeless.
Regardless, they will provide an unmatched architectural quality to your home for years to come. Here is a selection of stylish security screen doors that, with the collaboration of our architecture and building design partners, we have crafted for our valued clients.
A stunning entrance to what could be a church or a welcoming home, this design shows how simple design elements transform wrought iron security screen doors into a feature that is truly character-filled. This door design includes multiple S-scrolls in two feature elements, top and bottom, and a vertical coupling of S-scrolls to add visual interest. Topped by an amazing archway shape and surrounded by variegated brickwork in a multitude of hues, it’s a heavenly combination of style and functionality.
This is a unique take on iron security screen doors, that reflect security as well as hint of sophistication and grandeur. The grey colour choice is subtle, allowing the eye to move through the entrance into the home’s stunning interiors. Essentially, it makes a statement and evokes security, while enticing the visitor to explore further — once they have the approval of the owners, of course! The gate itself has a wonderful array of free-flowing curved elements that invoke a sense of calmness and hint at whispers of sprouting natural elements.
Archways across history have symbolised many things from strength and support to lightness and “openness within density”, and they are often deemed as a “vault of the sky”. This wrought iron masterpiece definitely does its archway design justice, allowing lots of light to infiltrate its strong barriers. It’s also breathtaking, with its soaring height, and superb use of a combination of features, including scrolls, “basket” style balusters, and finials (that normally sit atop a wrought iron fence) within the design itself. Divine.
Opting for a wrought iron security door doesn’t mean you have to own a palatial mansion. Anyone who appreciates the durability, strength and stylistic advantages of wrought iron can enjoy its functionality and beauty. In this instance, its beauty is also in its simplicity. Multiple C-scrolls combine as a central feature, with horizontal and vertical elements adding additional interest. And the brickwork and somewhat imposing nature of wrought iron itself also guarantees would-be thieves go elsewhere!
Now this is a double door design with a difference, and not just because there are two mirroring doors to admire. Features include scrolls galore of varying sizes as well as vertical art deco-type insets. These are all encased in a beautiful soft-blue framework that is consciously unpolished with a muted effect, adding a touch of historical whimsy. Its mirrored effect is also incredible reflecting chandelier-ed interiors as well as sparkling bathing exteriors.
This is another wrought iron security screen door that is commanding, functional and stylish over its double-door framework. Edged with wonderfully organic timber work, the door itself oozes elegance with its impressive scrollwork that covers the entire door. Predominantly featuring C-scrolls, each one seamlessly connects to the next, creating a flowing, calming design. Backed by screens that add privacy and an elusive glimpse into the interiors, it is also topped by an additional wrought iron feature that elevates it even further (and the chandelier’s a pretty good addition as well!)
Performing double door duty again, this wrought iron masterpiece boasts multiple textures and materials – wrought iron on the external doors and then separate timber doors. Both combine as an earthy nod to nature. The timber doors are a rich reddish hue that contrast with the dramatic black of the wrought iron, allowing both to meld rather than compete. And the design on the wrought iron is simply ethereal with its large C-scrolls morphing into non-green greenery that is bursting with life and edged with leafy accents.
This design is another nod to the natural world with the addition of minimal structural characteristics that evoke feelings of vibrant, unrestricted growth. The wrought iron work is free flowing and symbolic of riverbed reeds or paddock grasses, and the absence of bulky posts or even a frame at the top of the door adds to its creativity. This is a fantastic example of how stylish security screen doors can transform a home’s entrance, and provide security while maintaining the owner’s unique vision.
This is a gorgeous version of an iron security door that showcases just how flexible wrought iron designs can be across a wide range of home designs. The owners of this home obviously favour a more traditional approach with curved interiors, timber flooring and stained glass edging a priority. The addition of wrought iron in the door, however, blends seamlessly with these design choices. Once again, it adds a secure, robust welcome but is softened by the scrollwork and the forged “basket” balusters.
How magical is this entranceway? Sigh. But firstly, the wrought iron security door. An extended width, it is majestic without being too showy. Design-wise, it features two sizable C-scrolls that are intertwined with smaller heart-shaped scrolls. All of these are intertwined with leafy inserts that are just pure enchantment. Unique brickwork frames the top and the internals of the entranceway, and the leafy blossoming hedging just amps up the wow factor.
