Steel or aluminum on an exposed lot?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-03T14:10:34-07:00Steel is stronger and carries ornamental detail well; aluminum is lighter and rust-free, which helps on an exposed hilltop entrance. Both are all-metal and secure, finished for the damp Eastside climate. We help you weigh strength against upkeep for your door.
Can you match it to my home?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-03T14:10:03-07:00Yes. We match the finish, proportion, and design to the home, whether that means a restrained modern grille or ornamental detail, and we can coordinate it with other metalwork on the property since we fabricate everything in-house.
Does it replace my entry door?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-03T14:09:34-07:00No. It installs in front of your existing entry door as a locked outer barrier, so your regular door stays in place. The security door adds a layer of protection and lets you open the inner door for air while remaining secure.
Will a security door block the light at my entrance?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-03T14:08:50-07:00No more than the grille pattern itself. Because the door is an open metal grille, not a solid slab, light and air pass through, and a simple vertical design keeps the entry feeling open. You can also leave your inner door open behind it for more light and a breeze while staying locked and secure.
