Stand back and frame the whole entry — surrounding brick or stucco, roofline, steps, columns, and any sidelites or transom — so we can judge proportion and the era the door has to match.
Install photo guide
Photos that help choose a Salt Lake City iron door.
A good recommendation starts with a clear look at your home. The Midvale team can size, style, and spec an iron door from a handful of well-shot photos — the elevation, the foyer, the way Salt Lake light hits the entry, and the patio wall if a folding system is in play.

Spec notes
Helpful photo angles.
Send the Midvale team exterior shots, interior shots, any inspiration or plans, and a few notes on style and timing. For Salt Lake homes it helps to capture the winter-sun angle, how private the entry needs to feel, the surrounding masonry, and the patio wall whenever a folding Accordion Patio Door is part of the project.
Shoot the entry from within: floors, trim, wall depth, ceiling height, and how much daylight you want to keep. This tells us how clear or private the glass should be and whether interior iron-and-glass fits.
Note which way the door faces and shoot it in morning and afternoon. Salt Lake's altitude sun and snow glare change how glass reads, and nearby windows, walls, and the street view all steer the privacy choice.
Photo tips
Add the few measurements that close the loop.
Photos tell us the look; a handful of numbers tell us the fit. Pair your shots with the rough opening width and height, the wall thickness, and the swing direction, and the showroom can move straight from picture to a real recommendation — available door, custom design, or a folding patio system.
- Opening sizeWidth, height, and whether there's room for sidelites or a transom decide between a single leaf, double doors, or a pivot.
- Wall & swingA photo of the jamb depth plus which way the door should swing keeps the threshold, seals, and hardware right the first time.
- Patio conditionFor a folding Accordion Patio Door, shoot the full rear opening, the floor level inside and out, and the view — these fold open rather than slide, so the track and pocket need planning.
