What Are the Disadvantages of Metal Doors

Metal and Glass Pivot Door with Transom & Sidelite

While metal doors offer many benefits, such as durability, modern design, and low maintenance, there are a few minor drawbacks to consider, particularly for interior settings:

  • Weight: Metal doors are often heavier than materials like wood or hollow-core doors, which may require stronger hinges or specialized hardware for installation.

  • Customization Costs: Custom metal doors typically come at a higher price point compared to standard options, especially when combined with glass. However, the sleek and modern aesthetic they offer justifies the investment for many homeowners and businesses.

  • Limited Sound Insulation: Metal doors, while solid, don't always provide the same sound insulation as heavier, solid-core doors. That said, adding soundproofing materials or using thicker glass can significantly improve this.

Despite these minor drawbacks, the design and aesthetic appeal of custom metal doors from Forge 53° often outweigh the considerations of weight and cost. Our doors offer a stylish, modern solution that not only enhances the visual appeal of your space but also ensures long-lasting durability. We work closely with you to create doors that balance form, function, and budget, delivering a door that fits your unique needs.
