About
Custom Metal Security Doors in Seattle
A metal security door mounts in front of your existing entry door, a locked outer barrier that stops a break-in before it reaches the real door. In a dense city like Seattle, it adds a real layer of protection to a house, a duplex, or an apartment entry without changing the door you already have.
Because the door is a metal grille rather than a solid slab, you can leave your inner door open for a breeze and still stay locked and secure. We fabricate each one in our Kent shop in steel or aluminum, in a simple vertical or an ornamental design, and finish it to take the Seattle rain.
Whether you want a clean modern look for a Ballard townhome or ornamental scrollwork for a Queen Anne classic, we build the door to your opening and your entrance, so it looks intended rather than bolted on.
Styles
Simple Vertical or Ornamental Security Doors
Two directions cover most Seattle entrances, from modern to traditional.
Simple Vertical Security Doors
Simple vertical security doors use clean, evenly spaced bars for a modern, understated look that suits a contemporary Seattle home or apartment and keeps sightlines open.
Ornamental Security Doors
Ornamental security doors add scrollwork, medallions, or a period pattern, a fit for the city’s classic homes where the entrance deserves some detail.
Configurations
Single, Double, or With Side and Transom Panels
We build the door to the opening you have, from a standard single entry to a wide, framed entrance.
Single Security Doors
A single security door fits a standard entry, hinged on a reinforced frame to swing in front of your existing door.
Double Security Doors
A double security door suits a wide or double entry, with two leaves that meet in the middle for a symmetrical look.
With Side or Transom Panels
For a tall or wide opening, we add fixed metal side panels or a transom above, tying the whole entrance into one matched design.
Laser Cut Elements
Custom Laser Cut Elements for Seattle Security Doors
We also laser cut custom metal panels into a security door, so the design can carry a house number, a monogram, or a one-off pattern rather than a stock grille. The laser cut elements build into both simple and ornamental doors, cut in our own Kent shop.
Security and Build
Built to Actually Secure the Entrance
A security door is only as good as its frame, lock, and hinges, so we build all three to resist a real attempt.
Welded Steel Frame
A welded steel frame anchored into the opening is the backbone of the door, with grille spacing tight enough that no one can reach through to the lock or the inner door.
Secure Locking
We fit the door for secure locking, from a keyed deadbolt to a keypad, so it latches solidly and cannot be slipped or forced at the edge.
Security Hinges
Concealed or non-removable security hinges keep the door from being lifted off, a detail ordinary doors skip that matters on a security barrier.

Communities and New Builds
Working With Seattle HOAs and New Construction
Many Seattle condo buildings and townhome associations have rules about the look of a front-facing security door. We provide drawings and finish samples so your door clears the association’s review without a second round.
On a new build or a remodel we coordinate the security door with your contractor and the entry design, so it fits the opening cleanly and matches the rest of the exterior metalwork.

See What Our Customers Are Saying
Posted on Google Kristina G.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We're so thrilled with our new stair railings! Custom Railings WA and Mike's team did a high quality job from start to finish. We got the black powder coat finish with hemlock handrail in natural stain, which looks so elegant (see attached photos). The powder coat finish is really attractive, and we like that it's durable and not easily scratched. We were a little nervous that the wood color/characteristics on the top rail might turn out to be inconsistent across such a long run of railing, but the hand rails on all of the railings match beautifully. Thank you, Mike and team for taking such great care of us! Our new stairs are the perfect touch for our new farmhouse.Posted on Google Adele FesanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used this company for the second time, and this was our first time ordering railing for an outdoor deck. The service was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Communication was excellent, the team was easy to work with, and everything was completed exactly on schedule. The installation crew was highly professional, respectful, and left the area clean after completing the job. It was truly a pleasure working with a company that operates with such care and professionalism. The quality of the railing is top-notch — a very high-end product that exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again in the future.Posted on Google Leyla HasanovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We ordered glass railings for our parents’ home in Seattle. We were choosing between two options, glass or modern metal railings, and in the end we decided to go with glass. We’re extremely happy with that choice. The team helped us understand the differences, guided us through the design, and completed the installation on time. The railings look amazing. Great experience overall!Posted on Google Zamina BabayevaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first day, they were professional and easy to work with. Mike always replied quickly, and the team made sure every detail was just how I wanted. In the end, we got beautiful glass railings that fit perfectly with our modern home in Bellevue. Thank you, Custom Railings WA, for making the whole process smooth and enjoyable!Posted on Google J BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a good experience getting outdoor railings for my front concrete steps and for my stone steps in the back garden. I had put off doing this for so long and thought that railings might detract from the aesthetic look of my yard, but I was so wrong. I absolutely love my new railings, and loved working with all the guys who came out - to measure, to bend the metal and dig post holes, and finally to install the finished railings. Thank you!Posted on Google Jill SprattTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with Mike and his crew at Custom Railings WA. From design planning to installation they were knowledgeable, patient, helpful and professional.Posted on Google K CarrollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Start to finish top notch work, excellent communication, very professional crew, wish all companies operated with such integrity, truly a pleasure to work with!Posted on Google Hanaa Abou OufTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have beautiful new railings thanks to Custom Railings. Good communication, beautiful product, and they made sure everything was clean before they left. I will definitely use them again in the future!Posted on Google Cathy MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Custom Railings WA. They replaced our outdated railing with a new custom designed railing that fit our dreams and our budget. Communication was always clear and timely. They even worked around the chaotic schedule of other contractors working on our bigger remodeling project that impacted when the railing could be installed. Very Happy with our railing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add a custom or laser cut design?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-28T14:53:23-07:00Yes. Beyond simple bars and ornamental scrollwork, we laser cut custom metal panels into the door, so it can carry a house number, a monogram, or a pattern of your own. The laser cut elements build into either a simple or an ornamental door, all cut in our Kent shop.
Steel or aluminum for a Seattle security door?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-28T14:52:56-07:00Steel is stronger and the traditional choice, and finished through a multi-step powder-coat it holds up to the rain. Aluminum is lighter and cannot rust, which helps at a damp or near-water entrance and makes the door easy to swing. Both are all-metal and secure; we help you weigh strength against upkeep for your door.
Vertical or ornamental, which should I choose?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-28T14:52:24-07:00It comes down to the look you want. A simple vertical design reads clean and modern and suits a contemporary Seattle home or apartment. An ornamental design with scrollwork or a pattern fits the city's classic and period homes. Both provide the same security; the difference is style, and we build either to your entrance.
Does a security door replace my front door?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-28T14:51:57-07:00No. A metal security door installs in front of your existing entry door as a locked outer barrier. Your regular door stays where it is, and the security door adds a layer of protection on top of it. A real advantage is that you can leave your inner door open for airflow and still be locked and secure behind the metal door.
