SCL Metal Works
Custom iron doors and windows. Drawn, forged, and installed by the same Houston workshop. No resellers. No subcontractors. Just the people who make it.
Every iron door company has a catalog. Most don't have a welder. We're a Houston workshop. The same hands that draw your door forge it, finish it, and install it. Start to finish, under one roof.
No middlemen. No surprise upcharges. The person you talk to is the person building it.
Showroom visits by appointment. Come see raw iron become a door.

Traditional scrollwork. Single or double. Built to your opening.

Geometric, minimal, contemporary. Iron rethought.

Oversized entries on a central pivot. A statement at arrival.

Full-width iron and glass for indoor-outdoor living.

Matched iron windows and door-window sets. Seamless elevation.

Climate-controlled enclosures with decorative ironwork.
Three phases. One team. No handoffs. The designer who sketches it, the fabricator who forges it, and the crew who hangs it all work under the same roof.
Your home, your style, your measurements. Our designers sketch every detail before anything gets cut. You approve the drawing, the glass, the finish. Then we build.
Your door takes shape in our Houston shop. Heavy-gauge frames, hand-bent scrollwork, welded joints, powder-coated finish. We send progress photos from the floor.
The same team that built it hangs it. Plumb, sealed, weather-tested. We don't leave until the door swings true and you're satisfied.
Custom doors, windows, and panels. Designed, forged, and installed by our crew across the greater Houston area.

Pivot DoorWood swells. Fiberglass fades. Iron does neither. A properly built iron door outlasts the roof above it. And we build ours to that standard.
Heavy-gauge frames and embedded multi-point locks stand up to Gulf Coast wind and debris. Engineered for where you live.
No summer swell. No winter shrink. The seal you get on day one is the seal you keep, for the life of the door.
Backed by our written lifetime structural warranty. If something's wrong with the build, we come back and make it right.
Double-paned tempered glass, thermal breaks, and weather stripping. Lower bills, quieter rooms, better seal.
SCL Metal Works started in a rented bay on the northwest side of Houston. Ten years on, the shop is bigger. The approach hasn't changed. Every door is drawn by hand, forged in-house, and installed by the same crew that built it.
We're not a showroom moving someone else's doors. We're fabricators. Hot iron, hammers, welders. That's our day. Visit and you'll see your door being made.
They drew it, forged it, and installed it themselves. No middlemen, no surprises. The door is the best detail on the house.Houston Homeowner · Memorial
