Iron Window and Door Casings
Custom ironwork that protects your home without hiding its character.
Bare Ornamental Iron LLC designs and fabricates iron door casings and iron window casings that turn every entry point into a secure, good-looking feature of your home.
Iron Door Casings Built for Real Security and Real Style
Windows and doors are the two weakest points in any home's defense, and they are also the two places people notice first when they walk up to your porch or driveway. Our iron door casings and iron window casings are built to solve both problems at once: a solid steel or wrought iron frame that resists forced entry, finished with scrollwork, straight bar patterns, or custom detailing that matches your home's architecture.
Every casing starts as raw steel or iron stock, cut and welded in-house by our certified welders using techniques we have refined on hundreds of Puget Sound area homes. We measure each opening on-site, because factory-standard sizes rarely fit older Tacoma craftsman homes, newer Gig Harbor builds, or the mixed architecture found across Pierce and Kitsap counties.
The result is a piece of custom metal fabrication that fits your exact opening, holds up to coastal weather, and looks like it was always meant to be there.
Styles and Options for Every Home
Iron casings are not one-size-fits-all, and we do not treat them that way. Homeowners across our service area choose from a range of patterns, finishes, and configurations depending on the look and the level of protection they want.
If you already have a design in mind, or you want to browse ideas first, our custom ironwork gallery shows real installations from homes throughout Tacoma and the surrounding area.

Why homeowners choose us
What Sets Bare Ornamental Iron Apart
Certified Welding Services You Can Verify
Every casing is fabricated by certified welders, not assembled from off-the-shelf parts. That means clean welds, consistent strength, and a finished piece built to hold up against forced entry attempts.
Custom Fit, Not Generic Sizing
We measure every window and door opening in person before we cut a single piece of steel. Older homes with settled frames or non-standard dimensions get a casing that fits exactly, with no gaps or awkward trim work.
Local Craftsmanship, Local Accountability
We are based in Tacoma and have installed ironwork throughout Bremerton, Gig Harbor, Olympia, Seattle, and the Key Peninsula. When you call us after installation, you are calling the same shop that built your casing, not a call center.

Common Questions
Common Questions About Iron Casings
01 How much do custom iron door casings cost?
Cost depends on the size of your openings, the complexity of the design, and the finish you choose. Simple straight-bar casings cost less than scrollwork or custom security door designs. We provide a written metal fabrication estimate after measuring your property, so you know the price before any work starts.
02 What is the difference between iron window casings and standard security bars?
Standard window security bars are often mass-produced and bolted on as an afterthought. Our iron window casings are custom fabricated to fit your exact opening and finished to match your home's trim, so they function as security hardware and as a design element at the same time.
03 How long does it take to fabricate and install custom casings?
Most projects take a few weeks from initial measurement to installation, depending on the number of openings and the complexity of the design. We give you a specific timeline during your consultation once we know the full scope of the project.
04 Can iron casings work with existing window bars or security doors?
Yes. If you already have security features on part of your home, we can design new casings to match the existing style and finish, or recommend replacing older bars with a more secure, better-fitted custom option.
