About

Custom Metal Security Doors in Tacoma

A metal security door gives a Tacoma home a locked outer barrier in front of the entry door, added protection without replacing the door itself. In a city of fine historic houses, that door can carry period-appropriate detail rather than looking like a plain cage over the entrance.

Because the door is an open metal grille, you can leave your inner door open for air while staying locked and secure. We fabricate each one in our Kent shop in steel or aluminum, ornamental or modern, and finish it to hold up in the salt-tinged coastal air.

From ornamental scrollwork for a North End craftsman to a clean grille for a modern remodel, we build the door to the opening and the home’s era.

Styles

Simple Vertical or Ornamental Security Doors

Two directions cover Tacoma’s historic and modern entrances.

With Side or Transom Panels

For a tall or wide entry, fixed metal side panels or a transom above frame the opening in one matched design.

Laser Cut Elements

Custom Laser Cut Elements for Tacoma Security Doors

We laser cut custom metal panels into a Tacoma security door, so it can carry a period pattern or a house number rather than a stock grille. The laser cut elements build into both simple and ornamental doors, cut in our Kent shop.

Security and Build

Period Character, Real Security

The frame, lock, and hinges decide whether a security door protects the entrance, so we build all three to resist a real attempt even under ornamental detail.

Welded Steel Frame

A welded steel frame set into the opening carries the door, and the grille is spaced tightly so no one can reach through to the lock or the inner door.

Secure Locking

We fit the door for secure locking, a keyed deadbolt or a keypad, so it latches firmly and resists being slipped or pried.

Security Hinges

Concealed security hinges keep the door from being lifted off its frame, a detail that matters even under ornamental detail.

Neighborhoods

Metal Security Doors Across Tacoma

From the North End, Stadium District, and Proctor to Old Town, Ruston, and University Place, we build and install security doors finished for each entrance’s distance from the salt.

Communities and New Builds

Working With Tacoma HOAs and New Construction

Tacoma’s newer townhome rows and communities toward the West End often carry standards for a front-facing security door. We package drawings and samples so the association’s review moves quickly.

On a new build or major remodel we coordinate the security door with your contractor, matched in tone to the house and ready with the rest of the exterior.

Frequently Asked Questions

Steel is stronger and carries period ornamental detail best; aluminum is lighter and rust-free, which helps close to the bay. Both are all-metal and secure, finished for the coastal air. We help you weigh strength against the salt exposure for your entrance.

Not when it is specified for the coast. The salt-tinged air off Commencement Bay is hard on ordinary metal, so near the water we favor rust-free aluminum, finish steel through a multi-step process when set back, and protect the hardware, so the door keeps operating for years.

No. It installs in front of your existing entry door as a locked outer barrier, so your regular door stays in place. Because the security door is an open grille, you can leave the inner door open for air while staying locked and secure.

Yes, and it is some of our favorite work here. We reproduce period ornamental detail, scrollwork and patterns, so a security door suits a craftsman or Victorian entrance rather than looking like a modern add-on. Because we fabricate by hand in our own shop, period matching is well within what we do.
