There are so many different types of intricate if intimidating designs all unique to the individual homeowner or shop owner. The designs tend to be hand worked which makes the designs even more fantastic and creating a wow factor, however you won't be surprised to discover that the work that goes into these beautiful doors makes them a lot more expensive than doors made of wood or UPVC. Front entry doors are the favorite for the use of iron doors although they can be used internally or externally, it's a case of personal preference.
