Start with the opening, then choose the door
Replacing a front door and planning an entry for a new home involve different decisions. For a replacement, we need to understand the existing frame, threshold and surrounding finishes. For new construction, the door dimensions, wall details and installation schedule need to fit the builder's plans. OMG Steel Doors handles custom design, fabrication and installation for Austin homes and commercial spaces.
Send a photo of the opening from inside and outside, approximate dimensions, and the style you have in mind. That gives us a useful starting point for a quote. Final measurements and the agreed design should be confirmed before fabrication. Browse our custom steel doors and windows or project gallery if you're still deciding on the look.
Which steel door suits your space?
Before installation day
For a replacement, photograph the trim, sill and wall around the existing door. Mention any sticking, gaps or water staining so those conditions can be reviewed before a new frame is ordered. For a new build, share the plans and your builder's contact details.
Tell us about steps, narrow access, upper-floor delivery or other restrictions at the property. Confirm any approvals that apply to your project before setting an installation date. Our installation guide explains the sequence from site review to fitting and final adjustments.
Glass, sun exposure and privacy
The same glass layout can feel very different on a shaded porch and an exposed entry. Tell us which direction the door faces, whether there is an overhang, and how much of the interior is visible from the street. Discuss thermal-break options and insulated, low-E or privacy glass for the specific system you are considering. Ask for the proposed assembly's performance information before comparing products.
What goes into a steel door quote?
Size is only part of the price. Door configuration, glass, finish, hardware and installation scope all affect the estimate. A new opening may also involve work to the surrounding wall, while a replacement may require removal and repairs around the old frame. Confirm what is included so you can compare quotes on the same basis.
- Share your project address or ZIP code and whether it is a remodel or new build.
- Include approximate width and height, photos or drawings, and a preferred style.
- Note the glass privacy, finish and hardware you want, even if you are still choosing.
- Tell us your target schedule and ask for current fabrication and installation timing.
Our measuring guide can help you prepare an initial inquiry. Those measurements are for planning; confirm the final dimensions with the team before the order goes into fabrication.

Common Questions About Steel Doors in Austin
Do you install steel doors in Austin?
Yes. OMG Steel Doors provides custom design, fabrication and installation for Austin projects. Share the location, opening details and proposed schedule so we can discuss the scope and site requirements with you.
Can you build a steel door to fit my existing opening in Austin?
We build custom sizes, but the existing opening and surrounding wall need to be reviewed first. Send photos and approximate dimensions for the initial conversation. Final measurements, frame details and any required changes to the opening should be agreed before fabrication.
Are steel doors a good choice for the Texas climate?
A steel door should be selected as a complete system, including the frame, glass, seals and finish. Discuss sun exposure, thermal-break options, glass performance and weather protection for your entry. The material alone does not tell you how the installed door will perform.
