Our jobs Three of the doors and gates we have built

M&A Iron Works · Tucson, AZ

Steel for every opening on the house.

The front door, the side yard, the stairs, the carport. Every one of those openings can take steel, and we build for all of them.

We build security doors, gates, window guards, handrails, balcony railings, carports and porch covers. Each one is made for the opening it goes in.

You pick the look. Our own jobs show straight bars, wavy bars, scrollwork, reeds and birds, even horse heads cut into a driveway gate. The finishes run from black, gray and bronze to copper tones and tan.

Start with a text. Send (520) 548-6333 a photo of the opening and rough sizes, and we will go over the design and the price with you.

What we build

8 ways to put steel to work.

Pick one or put a few together. A gate can match the security door, and the stair rail can match both.

Built for the opening

How a security door comes together.

Scroll through the six steps of an example door. Then change the pattern, the finish and the opening, and send it to us.

Drawing of a steel security door being built on a stucco entry An example drawing, not to scale: the opening is measured, the frame is welded square, the pattern goes in, then the screen, the finish color, the hinges and the lock. The wood door behind opens while the steel stays locked. WIDTHHEIGHTDIAGONALS MATCH
Step 1 of 6 · Measure the opening
  1. 01

    Measure the opening.

    Every entry is a little different, so the door starts with your opening. Width, height, and whether the frame is square.

  2. 02

    Weld the frame square.

    The frame gets welded at the corners. We check the diagonals. When they match, it is square.

  3. 03

    Lay in the pattern.

    Straight lines, waves, scroll or squares. These are patterns from doors and gates we have built. Pick yours below.

  4. 04

    Screen or glass behind it.

    A screen keeps bugs out when the door behind it is open. Want glass instead? Ask us about it.

  5. 05

    Pick the finish.

    Black, gray, bronze or a copper-flecked look. Those are finishes our own jobs show. Ask about others.

  6. 06

    Open the door. Lock the steel.

    Hinges and a lock go on, and the door goes up. Now the front door can stand open for the evening breeze.

Draw your door.

Tap through the options and the drawing changes. Then send it to us with a photo of your entry.

Good to know

Gates, pools and carport roofs.

Straight from Arizona law and the City of Tucson, with a link to each source.

  • Pool barrier height

    Arizona law requires a residential pool to be fully enclosed by a barrier at least five feet high.

    Arizona Legislature
  • Pool gate: self-closing latch

    Pool gates must close and latch on their own. The latch must sit at least 54 inches above the ground.

    Arizona Legislature
  • Pool gate swing direction

    A pool enclosure gate must open outward, away from the pool.

    Arizona Legislature
  • Carport and patio cover permits

    In Tucson, adding a roof over a patio or carport needs a permit. That includes pergolas and fabric covers.

Questions

Before you call.

What do you build?

Steel security doors, iron and glass doors, window guards, gates, handrails, balconies, carports and porch covers. We also build custom pieces from a photo or a sketch.

Where do you work?

We are based in Tucson. We also cover Casas Adobes, Oro Valley, Catalina Foothills, Drexel Heights, Marana and Tanque Verde. Somewhere else nearby? Call or text (520) 548-6333 and ask.

How do I get a price?

Text a photo of the opening and rough measurements to (520) 548-6333. The price depends on the size, the pattern and the finish.

Can you match a pattern I already have?

Send a photo of it. We have built straight-line, wavy, scroll, square and geometric patterns, plus scenes cut in steel. We can talk about matching yours.

What colors can I pick?

Our own jobs show black, gray, bronze, copper tones and tan. Ask us about anything else you have in mind.

Is my gate part of a pool barrier?

If the gate opens onto a pool area, Arizona law has rules for it, like a self-closing, self-latching gate. Tell us when you call.

Got an opening that needs steel?

Text a photo of it. We will tell you what we would build and what it takes.
