When we talk to potential clients about security doors, they seem to get stuck on two concepts: That design is unencumbered. You can literally have anything you want, provided it fits within your budget. Stained hardwood, backlit marble, hand-stitched leather, or even a map of your favorite beach town carved in metal.

After that, people may upgrade their side doors, garage fire doors, and sliding doors leading to their patios. Interior security doors aren’t always a priority for our clients.

They want a really beautiful door and we can create that for them. But others are surviv...
