Why buy a wrought iron door from M2 vs ohhh let's say from China??

Hi it's Michael owner at M2.

Over the last couple of years I have seen a steady increase of iron door companies selling wrought iron doors fabricated in China. Many surplus companies are buying doors in bulk, shipping them overseas in huge containers and selling them in our market.  They buy high volumes ( to fill the containers ) at discounted prices and sell them as custom sizes to buyers convinced they are getting a custom fit.

I hear from these overseas companies about once a week in my email, LinkedIn or Facebook account .  They always promise me very low prices with higher profit margins by buying a non customized product.  But it's not in alignment with the values I have for M2.  Look I get calls from consumers quite frequently on these type doors and people looking for our company to clean up the mess of a door that was bought at surplus because it never was designed to have a nice customized fit in your home.  Most don't even have a real threshold.  They just weld a piece of steel on the bottom of the jamb and put a sweep on the door and call it good.  Really??  Is there no wind or rain or 50 degree drops in temperature in China?  Well it does here in North Texas and we build our M2IronDoorsDFW to deal with it!  

Ok...Here is what I am selling at M2.  A custom product built specifically for your home.  Not a product bought in bulk to increase margins and pass it off in your home as a custom fit!  For almost 16 years I have been putting my name ( Michael Moore = M2 ) on our wrought iron doors in DFW!  As the owner I am involved and fully engaged everyday.  So give us the opportunity to show you the M2 iron door experience!  We only know Custom, Quality and Service and that is our commitment to you!

Common sense buying wrought iron doors #1

Would it be weird if after 13 years of building, installing and selling iron doors in Dallas/Ft. Worth I told you " there are some things in this business I do not understand ".  Maybe you would think I bet this guy knows everything there is to know about iron doors.  After all he has 13 years experience and who knows how many doors ( too many to count ) in the DFW marketplace.  You might even venture to say you have seen the M2 Iron Doors logo on his trucks all over town and even on the wrapped and protected entry doors of the finest builders in North Texas.  But after everything I have invested and the expertise I have gained there are a few things I just can't explain.  Where is the common sense in buying an iron door?  Maybe you might find this useful when you are considering a rather large purchase for your home.  Common sense point number one when purchasing your new wrought iron door : [ You are purchasing the owner's commitment to excellence].  Point #1 I do not understand - People still think they got a great deal if they got the lowest price.  The best price and best commitment to excellence are rarely synonymous.  Common sense item #1 : Iron Doors are not green beans in a can for $1.29 at Central Market and Trader Joe's has the same can for $.99 and you just drive across the street and get the same green beans.  If you don't believe me then google [ pissed consumer iron doors ].  

Hope this helps you make a smart decision.

Michael :)

What Our Clients Are Saying

​Michael,
​
Been meaning to drop you a note and let you know how pleased we are with the doors we bought from you 2 ½ years ago. As you probably know, many quick decisions are made when building a home. It takes a little time and hindsight to truly know what decisions were good and what decisions were, uh, not so good. Clearly one of the best decisions we made regarding our home, both in style and substance, was the purchase of your doors. We think they look great, and not surprisingly, get more compliments about the doors than anything else.
