Austin, neighborhood by neighborhood

A steel entry built for a 1930s bungalow in Hyde Park has almost nothing in common with one for a hillside modern in Westlake. Here is how we approach the parts of Austin we work in most.

Westlake Hills and Barton Creek

Hillside modern architecture with wide, tall openings and a lot of glass. Our standard single door measures 38 by 97 inches and our standard double 74 by 97; most of what Westlake calls for is beyond that, which means built to order. Minimal sightlines and clean steel profiles read better here than heavy ornament.

Tarrytown and Hyde Park

Older homes with original openings that are rarely square and almost never a standard size. We measure the opening as it is and build to it, so the door sits in the wall you already have. Hyde Park sits inside a local historic district, so the entry has to satisfy a review board as well as the homeowner.

Lake Travis, Steiner Ranch and Circle C

Newer construction with two-story entries, where eight to ten feet is common and stock doors stop working. Double doors and pivots hold that scale. Most of these subdivisions run an architectural review, so tell us what your association requires before anything is cut.

Downtown and East Austin

Condo conversions, restaurants and mixed-use projects where steel windows and interior partitions do as much work as the entry door.

Built for Central Texas sun

A west-facing entry in Austin takes direct afternoon sun most of the year, and metal moves with heat. That is not a reason to avoid steel. It is a reason to build it properly.

Every door we make ships with double-pane insulated tempered glass as standard, closed-cell polyurethane foam insulation in both the jamb and the slab, weather stripping on the door and on the glass frame, and a door sweep. Low-E glass is available on any model.

What every door includes

Double-pane, clear insulated tempered glass
Single-cylinder deadbolt with two keys and a roller latch
Closed-cell polyurethane foam insulation in jamb and slab
Weather stripping on the door and on the glass frame
Door sweep
Two flush bolts on the inactive door
Your choice of a 6 inch or 8 inch jamb
A 1 1/2 inch threshold

Sizes, glass and finishes

Standard single doors measure 38 by 97 inches and doubles 74 by 97 inches. Anything outside those dimensions is a custom order, which is most of what we build in Austin. Glass comes clear as standard, with Aquatex, Rain, Flemish, Satin and Low-E available. Finishes are Dark Copper, Copper, Pewter, Dark Bronze, Bronze and Black. Four handle profiles, right or left hand swing, square or eyebrow top.

Frequently asked questions

Can you build to an existing opening?

That is the whole point of custom. Our standard sizes are 38 by 97 inches for a single door and 74 by 97 for a double, and anything else is a custom order. We measure your opening as it is, out of square or non-standard height included, and build to it.

Will a steel door hold up to Austin heat?

Built properly, yes. Double-pane insulated tempered glass is standard on every door, the jamb and slab are insulated with closed-cell polyurethane foam, and both the door and the glass frame are weather stripped. Low-E glass is available when the entry faces west.

Do you build wine cellar doors?

Yes, and it is one of the things Austin asks us for most. Same construction as our entry doors, sized to the opening, with your choice of glass so the cellar stays visible without losing the seal.

Can I see the doors before I order?

Our Austin location is on McNeil Road. You are also welcome at our San Antonio showroom on Colwick Street, where the full range is on display.
