Lone Star Iron Door

What Lone Star Iron Door does

Lone Star Iron Door is a Texas-based custom manufacturer and installer of steel and iron doors and windows, founded in 1998 and operating from a manufacturing facility at 3830 Dividend Dr., Garland, TX, with a contact office in Plano, TX. The company serves two principal customer groups: individual homeowners seeking distinctive residential entryways, and architects and builders procuring doors and window packages for residential and commercial projects. Notable completed work includes the Magnolia Petroleum Building historic modernization in Dallas (2022), the Ascent Victory Tower 21st-floor office update (2016), and hospitality installations for Sixty Vines, Mexican Sugar, Gloria's, and Ascension Cafe.

The product portfolio is organized around Traditional iron doors with ornate configurations, a Modern Series of steel doors and windows with narrow profiles (1" to 1-1/2"), customizable glass infill (1/4" to 1"), and jamb depths from 3" to 8", plus a W-Line thermally broken profile system using 1.5mm Swiss extrusion technology with cast-in polyurethane isolators and glazing capacity up to 37mm. Differentiated specifications include proprietary rust-proof coatings, automotive-grade paint finishes, weatherstrip groove systems, and high-density polyurethane isolators. Architectural glass options span taffeta, seedy baroque, rolled gluechip, Flemish, Aquatex, and leaf textures, and hardware is offered through partnerships with Baldwin, Hoppe, Strongar, Deltana, DORMA, Rocky Mountain Gray, and EMTEK. Custom wine cellars are also offered as an extension product.

Commercially, Lone Star operates a direct-to-customer sales motion with free in-home or phone consultations, on-site measurement, made-to-order fabrication, and professional installation, supported by a post-installation service department that also services competitors' doors. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with seasonal promotions cited. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales bundled with installation, and the company provides a 5-year limited warranty. The business is founder-owned: Matthew Clements serves as CEO and Founder, and Robin Chipman is Vice President of Sales. There is no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no identified institutional ownership.
