We want to replace our double front doors with iron doors.  Wondering if anyone has them and their expereience with them.  Good or bad.  And, tips/advice, if any.  Thanks.

We call them security doors in Arizona. They are placed in front of your regular door.

Not the same as what we're looking at.  These iron doors replace the existing door.  They're not security doors.

No.  There are iron doors.

What style house do you have and do you need single or double door?

I looked around, but I didn't see one anywhere I liked.  None would work with my house style.

Also, I'd be afraid of rusting.

There are quite a few in our neighborhood.  I think they look pretty but i think I would feel a little bit "exposed."

My house is traditional.  Double doors.  I live in the southeast and the wear and tear on our wooden doors is horrible.  We get sun practically all day.  There are a lot of different styles to choose from.  They've been getting increasingly popular in my area.

There are many different styles to choose from.  Many manufacturers iron doors glass insets open.  There i usally iron work, scroll work that covers the glass...or none.  But usually the glass is tinted.
