Step back far enough to get the full entry — surrounding wall, roofline, porch, steps, and any sidelites or transom. This is the single most useful frame; it sets the scale and proportion the door has to live in.
Install photo guide
Photos that help choose a Denver iron door.
You don't need a photographer. A handful of well-framed phone photos — the elevation, the trim, the existing door, the foyer, and which way the light falls — tell the showroom most of what it needs to recommend the right door before you ever walk in.

Spec notes
The shots that matter.
Denver's strong, direct light is an asset here — shoot in open shade or early/late sun so the camera reads the real color of the brick, stucco, and trim instead of blowing out the highlights. Stand square to the house, keep the phone level, and capture the whole entry rather than a tight crop of the door.
A closer shot of the current door, the casing, and the masonry or siding around it. It shows the opening size, the trim profile, and the finishes the new iron door and hardware should sit beside.
One frame looking out from the entry. It reveals the floor, the foyer width and wall depth, and whether the door faces the street closely enough that privacy glass or smart glass is worth considering.
Measure & note
A few numbers and notes finish the picture.
Photos handle the look; a few rough measurements and notes handle the fit. None of this has to be exact — a final field measure happens before any door is built — but it lets the showroom point you to the right path on the first call.
- Rough measurementsWidth and height of the opening, and the wall thickness if you can reach it. A tape in one of the photos for scale is even better.
- Swing & light directionWhich way the door swings and which way the entry faces. South- and west-facing Denver entries take strong afternoon sun, which shapes the glass and finish.
- Patio openingsIf you're opening the back of the house, photograph the full wall and note the opening width. Our Accordion Patio Doors fold open rather than slide, so panel count and stack direction depend on the space.
